Motor Plate Install
Step H-3
q
1. Place the Motor Mounting Plate (93) against the motor (not
included) so that the shaft on the motor is centered in the large hole
in the Motor Mount and the flat surface of the Motor Mount rests
against the motor. Align the holes in the Motor Mount with the holes
in the motor as indicated in Figure 72.
q
2. Secure the Motor Mount to the motor by threading the two
3mm x 6mm (gold color) Button Head Screws (147) through the two
holes in the Motor Mount, and tightening.
If there are two sets of holes in the motor, thread the screws into
the set of holes that will allow the power tabs to face the speed
control (ESC) with the motor in its lowest position in the chassis.
This is the optimal location for your vehicle.
q
3. Attach the pinion gear (not included) to the motor shaft with
the tooth section of the gear away from the motor as shown and
secure it by tightening the set screw (supplied with your pinion).

q
1. Press two Threaded Inserts (94) into the bottom of the Chassis
(46) in the holes with the hex. Be sure that you line up the hex on the
Insert with the hex in the bottom of the Chassis. The inserts should
be installed in the direction shown in Figure 73.
q
2. Install the Motor Mount, with the motor attached, in the groove
on the left side of the Chassis. Check alignment of the pinion gear
with the Spur Gear (71). If the two gears don't align properly, remove
the motor and adjust the position of the pinion gear. Check again for
proper alignment.
q
3. Once the pinion gear is properly aligned with the Spur Gear,
place the Motor Clamp (41) over the Motor Mount as shown. Slide a
Ball Stud Washer (150) over each of the 4-40 x 1.5" Cap Head Screws
(144). Thread the Screws through the two holes in the Motor Clamp
into the Threaded Inserts in the Chassis, but don't tighten the Screws
yet. Check the gear mesh through the opening in the right side of the
Chassis. To adjust the gear mesh, rotate the motor: counter-clock-
wise to loosen the gear mesh; and clockwise to tighten the gear mesh.
Once the gear mesh has been adjusted, tighten the Motor Clamp
Screws.
The gears need a small amount of backlash in order to function
properly.
q
4. Insert the rectangular, Gear Mesh Access Plug (74), bevelled
side first, in the opening on the right side of the Chassis.
