Take this plastic filling part from the
plastic tree.
Place the part in the front gear box as the
picture shows.
Fit the servo saver top plate and at the red
marked spot fit 4 x 10 mm round head hexagon screws using a 2.5 mm hexagon
tool.
Fit the right hand side steering rod to the
steering knuckle with a 3 x 12 mm countersunk hexagon screw using a 2 mm
hexagon tool.
This is according to the manual and in this case we advise you to use some
medium strength thread lock.
Fit the left hand side steering rod to
the steering knuckle with a 3 x 12 mm countersunk hexagon screw using a 2
mm hexagon tool.
This is according to the manual and in this case we advise you to use some
medium strength thread lock.
Even with full down travel we think using 3 x
16 mm countersunk screw and a 3 mm lock nut at the opposite side this is
an better option concerning maintenance and reliability. There is enough
room and also the cut out in the front lower suspension arm is already
there.
The front drive unit ready.
Longer 3 x 16 mm
screws and a 3 mm lock nut could have been provided instead of the 3 x 12
mm screws to secure the steering rods to the steering knuckle.
