Radio Tray Removal
Spartan’s unique power module
allows you to easily remove
the motor, drive system, and
electronics as a unit for easy
access to the hull interior. With
the power module removed,
you can easily work on the drive
system or electronics without the entire hull taking up your bench
space. To remove the power module, follow these steps:
1. Loosen the drive cable collet.
Using the two 10mm wrenches
supplied, grip the collet base and
collet clamp. Rotate the parts away
from each other in the direction
shown to loosen the clamp. You
do not have to fully unthread the
collet, it will take less than one full
rotation to loosen the clamp.
2. Remove the drive cable. Pull the propeller away from the drive
strut. The cable will come out with the propeller. There is no need
to remove the prop from the cable.
3. Remove the steering linkage. Use the supplied 2.5mm wrench to
unthread the 15mm screw in the servo arm and disengage the
steering linkage.
4. Unplug the water cooling outlet tube (A) and inlet tube (B).
5. Loosen the retaining screws. Use the supplied 2.5mm wrench to loosen the screws approximately 5 full
turns. It is not necessary to remove these screws, only loosen them.
6. Gently lift the power module from the motor end. If it does not release easily from the hull rails, loosen the
retaining screws another turn.
7. Slide the power module forward. Gently pull on the module to slide the tabs out of the slots in the hull rails.
Note:
Sometimes the stuffing tube sticks in the seal. Extra force may be required to break it free.
