Step 17. Use the tables in Figure 7B and 7C (on the previous page) to
determine how the servo mounting posts (24) should be attached to
the servo (not included).

Tip: Trim any flashing from the pins on the mounting posts so that
they will seat all the way into the holes in the chassis brace and
chassis.

Step 18. Place a #4 washer (23) over each of the four 4-40 x 3/8" cap-
head screws (17) and attach the servo posts (24) to the servo by
threading a screw (17) through the upper and lower holes in each
post (24). Do not tighten the screws (17) yet! Just snug them up so
that the posts are held in place, but can still be moved from side to
side with a little resistance. The screws (17) will be tightened after the
servo is installed so that the posts (24) have the correct spacing.

Step 19. Install the steering post bushings (25) into the forward holes
in the chassis (19) as shown in Figure 9. Insert the pin on the left
servo post (24) into the hole in the servo post bushing (25). Move the
servo and posts (24) slightly until both the left and right posts (24)
are inserted in the holes in the servo post bushings (25). Make sure
bothe servo mounting posts (24) are perpendicular to the chassis,
and tighten down all four servo mounting screws (17).

Tip: There are two sets of servo mounting holes in the chassis.
Mounting the servo in the forward set of holes will give the best
overall performance. However, the servo may be mounted in the
rear set of holes to increase rear traction and improve handleing
on very slippery tracks. If the servo is mounted in the rear holes, you
must reverse the ball stud in the servo arm so that the ball points
forward.

Step 20. Thread a short plastic rod end (26) onto each end of the 4-40
x 5/8" threaded rod (27).

Step 21. Refer to table in Figure 7C (on the previous page) to deter-
mine the appropriate rod length for the servo that is installed. Tighten
both sides equally until the rod is the same length as the one shown
in Figure 10A or 10B.
