BRUTUSBOT

Step 9 - Installing the Stand-offs:
The four 1-1/4” aluminum hex stand-offs 
are bolted to the frame with the #4-40 x 
3/8” screws.

Step 7 - Gather the Hardware: 
Find the bag of parts and hardware that 
came with the Tamiya twin motor 
gearbox, and locate the two #4-40 
gearbox-mounting screws. 

Use the Solarbotics-provided #4-
40 nuts (they’re bigger and 
stronger).

Step 8 - Mounting the Motor: If your motor is ‘A’ configuration 
(speedy) , use the rear slots. ‘C’ configuration (torquey) uses the 
front slots.

‘A’ Configuration uses REAR slots

Hex stand-offs are mounted
with #4-40 x 3/8” bolts

Complete pre-tread Assembly

‘C’ Configuration uses FRONT slots
