- Enlarge one hole in the servo arm 20mm out from centre to accept the M3 x 18mm
cap screw that will be used to secure the steering link rod. You can do this with a
body reamer or appropriately sized drill bit.
1
- Install each of the four body mounting posts into the uppermost holes (next to the
shock towers) in the chassis side plates, using four M3 x 22mm cap screws.
IMPORTANT:
Since the cap screws thread into metal, remember to apply threadlock
to the cap screws to prevent them from loosening during use.
1
- Secure one steering servo to one servo mount, using four M3 x 8mm cap screws and
four M3 flat washers.
IMPORTANT:
Install the servo so that the servo output shaft is toward the gearbox.
IMPORTANT:
Remember to apply threadlock to the cap screws to prevent them
from loosening during use.

- Run the servo wire up the centre link rod and to the top of the chassis. Use two or
three small nylon cable ties to secure the servo wire to the centre link rod as shown.
IMPORTANT:
Leave a little bit of slack in the servo wire between the servo and the
centre link rod, so that when the suspension articulates, it doesn't pull on, or otherwise
damage, the servo wire.
IMPORTANT:
In the next step, you will need to temporarily connect the radio control system and plug the steering servo into the
receiver. Be certain that you are familiar with the setup and function of the radio control system before continuing. If you have any
concerns about setting up the radio control system, please refer to the radio control system's user guide.

- Connect the radio control system and plug the steering servo into the receiver. Centre
the servo, then attach the servo arm to the servo, making sure that the servo arm is
aligned 90 degrees up and down.
IMPORTANT:
Install the servo horn so that the hole that you enlarged in the servo
arm
(a)
is toward the top of the chassis.
IMPORTANT:
Remember to install the servo horn retaining screw, included with the
servo, to secure the servo arm in place.
