Installing Tach Reader Bracket
-Based on the motor type, install the
tach reader mounting bracket (FF).
The bracket is snapped into place on
a Mabuchi or similar motor by
spreading it open and sliding it under
the flywheel. It may be necessary to
use tape or epoxy glue to hold the
bracket in position. Ensure the tach
reader is attached to the motor whose
truck has traction tires.
Some can motors are larger than others
and will require that the tach reader
bracket be modified in order to fit around
the motor. Cut the bracket straps as shown.
Cut bracket straps
Spread the Tach Reader bracket apart and
slip between the flywheel and motor for
engines equipped with Mabuchi or similar
motors.
Push the bracket all the way onto the top
of the motor. The small tabs extending
down will “lock” onto motor casing.
Installing Tach Tape Onto Motor Flywheel
-Clean the flywheel with a cleaning
solution and then install the tach tape
(FFF) to the flywheel diameter and
select proper tape). If the tape is
wider than the flywheel, trim with a
razor and straight edge before
installing. Apply tape end with the
largest white portion first, wrap the
tape around the flywheel until it
overlaps.
Wrap the tach tape around the flywheel by
starting with white end first.
