d) Check alignment and tooth backlash of drive
The engine transmits its capacity via the pinion on the clutch bell to the main pinion.
Both rotary axes, i.e. the crank shaft, engine-sided, and the axis of the drive section to the front and rear axis, must be aligned so that they are exactly in
parallel. This prevents tensions in the drive section, premature wear of the pinions and bearing journals as well as loss of power.
The parallel alignment of crankshaft and drive section must be checked every time before using the vehicle and, if necessary, must be
readjusted!
When the alignment is in parallel, the pinion on the clutch bell and the main pinion will run
smoothly. If there is too much play, this will destroy the toothed wheels in the long run; too
little play destroys the bearing in clutch and engine.
Checking the tooth backlash
•
Place a thin strip of paper between the pinion on the clutch bell and the main pinion in
the drive section.
•
Move toothed wheels by hand;
•
the paper strip must not rip apart when the wheels turn!
Readjusting
•
Unscrew four screws of the engine mount fastener on the lower side of the the mounting
plate (chassis)
•
Align engine laterally and fasten screws again tightly
•
Unscrew four screws, at the top, on the engine support and adjust the engine lengthwise
e) Installation of an RC-System (4WD GP Chassis ARR)
Before starting with the installation and the final assembly of the vehicle, retrofit the necessary accessories (remote control, servo etc.) and have
the necessary tools at hand.
•
The workplace needs to be sufficiently large and has to be well illuminated. The work surface should be smooth, clean and hard-wearing (protected
against oil stains, fuel, etc.).
•
Don't use cordless screwdrivers! Certain tapping screws in plastic or aluminum need to be fastened with flair so that the cut thread does not get broken.
Do not overturn the screws!
•
Put a cloth (single-colored, light) on the work surface, so that small parts that fall down, such as screws can be found easily and don't fall off the table.
•
The position specifications "front, rear, right, left" in these instructions always relate to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle in driving direction "ahead",
exactly as with a real car.
Checking the function of the servos
The functions „accelerate/brake" and „steering" are carried out by two servos via the respective linkages. The servos are controlled by the signals of a three-
channel remote control. The receiver with which the servos are connected are part of the delivery of the remote control transmitter and are later installed in
the vehicle. The receiver battery supplies the receiver and at the same time the servos with the necessary operating voltage.
For testing the function unit „remote control transmitter / receiver / servos", the components must not be installed.
Please note the separate operating instructions of your remote control system!
•
Plug the telescope antenna into the intended opening on the remote control transmitter.
•
Screw the antenna tight (clockwise).
•
Insert the 8 AA batteries (accumulators) into the accumulator compartment and observe the correct
polarity!
•
Insert 4 AA batteries (accumulators) into the accumulator support.
•
Observe the correct polarity and a tight fit.
•
Connect the accumulators with the receiver via the on/off switch cable.
Determine the position of the remote control lever on the servo shaft.
•
Put both remote control levers and the two trim levers into neutral.
•
Temporarily attach the servo control lever to the servo shafts (do not screw in place yet).
•
Connect both servos with the receiver.
•
Turn on the remote control transmitter first and then the receiver.
•
Carefully move both remote control levers successively from one end position to the other.
The servo steering levers should turn in both directions in accordance to the turn of the remote control lever.
