OR COIL THE ANTENNA WIRE. Press fit the antenna tube
into the hole in the chassis. Tip: Run the antenna wire
through your fingers to straighten out the kinks before
running through the antenna tube. Also, applying a small
amount of soap and water to the antenna wire will help
lubricate the wire for threading into the antenna tube.

1. Mount your ESC to the chassis using the included
double sided tape. If the speed control is too large to mount
to the chassis it can be mounted to the front of the rear shock
tower. When mounting the ESC make sure there is sufficient
air flow across the ESC to keep it cool.

2. Plug the ESC receiver lead into channel #2 of the receiver.

1. Remove the rear wheel that is on the same side as the
spur gear, this will make installing the motor, pinion and gear
cover easier.
❏
2. Using the two included 3x8mm screws, secure the motor
to the motor plate. Note: Do not tighten the motor screws
down yet.
❏
3. Install the included pinion onto the motor shaft. Make
sure the set screw is placed over the flat spot on the motors
shaft. Line the pinion up with the spur gear so that it is
properly lined up with the spur gear. Note: See the pictures
above to help determine if the spur and pinion are properly
lined up.
❏
4. Set the gear mesh between the spur and pinion. The
mesh is set by sliding the motor forward and back. When
setting the gear mesh you want to make sure it is not set too
tight or too loose (either will cause the spur gear to strip easily).
