) before installing the motors in the chassis, as
you will not be able to access the motor leads easily once the acrylic mounting plate is in
place.
5. Press the output shafts of the motors into the drive sprockets, with the raised lip on one side
of the sprocket facing away from the motor. The end of the gearbox shaft should end up flush
with the outside of the sprocket. A good way to do this is to set the wheel on flat surface (like
a table top) and press the motor shaft into the wheel until it contacts the surface.
6. Place the motors into the channel in the front of the chassis, aligning the gearbox with the
grooves in the channel. The front plate of the gearbox should be even with the edge of the
chassis.
