BMI Racing Copperhead 12 - Manual (Page 10)

You will need to secure battery with strapping tape.
Congratulations, your done!
Go to the starting setup sheet, adjust your car to
the base setup and hit the track!

Step 27
The Servo mounts are attached to the lower chassis
with two 4-40 x ¼” flat head screws.
At this time drill out the center holes on your servo
saver (not supplied) for two Nickel Teflon ball studs.
Secure them with two 3/16 alloy lock nuts.
You have two slotted holes for servo mounting in the
chassis and 2 in each servo mount. They let you
achieve proper linkage geometry whether you run
your ball studs in front of the servo saver as shown or
behind them. The slots in the chassis allow you to
center your servo. The chassis is not limited to fitting
specific servos. Any mini servo will fit. This is a
valuable tuning option as the servo’s weight has a big
effect on chassis weight distribution.
Locate two titanium turnbuckles and four black ball
cups. Assemble them as shown and adjust them to
an over all length of 2.375” (60.5mm). This is a
starting point. You will need to reset their length after
setting your camber in order to achieve the desired
amount of front toe.
Note:
You can use the same plastic bag trick mentioned in
Step 19 to remove play in your steering linkage.
Remember you want to remove play but still have
totally free movement in the links. Any friction at all is
unacceptable and will make you car not center
properly after steering inputs
Install your body posts with two 4-40 x 3/8” flat head
screws in the front and two 4-40 x ¼” button head
screws in the rear..
