STEP 25
Attach the adhesive foam
pad to the rear of the chassis
as shown (arrow and draw-
ing). Align the servo horn on
the speed control pointing
straight up. Study the drawing
carefully. Press the servo
horn onto the throttle servo.
Be careful not to move the
servo shaft from its neutral
position. Mount the speed
control assembly in the chas-
sis with two (2) 2.6x14mm
self-tapping screws. To align
the mounting holes in the
servo mounts with the posts
in the chassis, you will have
to press hard against the
foam pad.

STEP 28
Mount the receiver with two
(2) 2.6x10mm self-tapping
screws. Take the time to coil
the excess servo wires and
arrange them neatly in the
chassis. Thread the antenna
wire through the chassis and
back up through the chrome
fitting at the left rear of the
chassis.

STEP 26
Assemble the resistor pack by
first pushing the terminals from
each resistor through the fiber-
glass stay plate. While holding
the stay plate with the screws
holes on the top, connect one
white wire and one blue wire
from the speed control to the
terminals of each resistor.
Secure the resistor pack
assembly with two (2) 2x6mm
screws and 2mm lockwashers
and nuts.

STEP 29
Attach the gearbox assembly
by first putting the ball into
the socket in the chassis.
Place the ball joint stay plate
on top it and secure it using
two (2) 3x10mm self-tapping
screws.
STEP 27
SPIRIT
Route the white and blue
wires as shown. Position the
resistor pack on the chassis
and place the left rear body
mount on top of it. Attach
these to the chassis using
two (2) 3x10mm countersunk
self-tapping screws. Attach
the rear body mount for the
right side of the chassis with
(2) 3x10mm countersunk
self-tapping screws.

Mount the nerf bar stays and
metal stops to the chassis
with four (4) 3x18mm self-
tapping screws. Next attach
the rear of the nerf bars with
two (2) 3x10mm self-tapping
screws.

Route the white and blue
wires as shown and attach
the resistor pack to the chas-
sis with two (2) 3x8mm self-
tapping screws.

STEP 31
Attach the battery stay brack-
ets using two (2) 3x8mm self-
tapping screws and 3mm
washers. Notice that there
may be an L or K stamped
on these parts, this does not
indicate which side to install
them to, they can mount to
either side. For six cell (7.2
volt) operation mount these
in the holes closest to the
chassis. For seven cell (8.4
volt) stick packs mount these
in the holes farthest from the
chassis.
