Assembly - THE CHASSIS
BRUTUSBOT
Step 3 - Large Idler Installation: Make sure your large idlers
don’t
have teeth - those are different parts!
Slide an axle through the holes at the far back of the chassis, away
from the logo / skid plate. Install one large idler, then push an
shaft-cap onto the axle until it stops moving. Then place the other
large idler on the other side and push on another shaft-cap.
Step 2 - Chassis Parts: From the Tamiya Tread kit, find:
Ÿ
2 large idler wheels
Ÿ
6 medium sized idler wheels
Ÿ
4 idler axles
Ÿ
8 small idler shaft caps
Also have the chassis on hand - it
the key part!
Note: Sometimes the end-
caps can get pushed on a
little
too
tight, and the
idlers rub against the
chassis.
If this is the case, give the
idlers on one side a
gentle
tug to free up the idlers so
they can spin freely.
