Project Impreza
  Building the MJK-008 Chassis

FRONT ASSEMBLY: Ensure that you apply only the minimum pressure onto axle when tightening the grub screws in the front wheels. This will prevent 'pot' marks from forming on the axle surface.

 
 

 

REAR ASSEMBLY: Attach spur gear onto rear axle first before locating into chassis mounts. Fit nylon spacers & right rear rim onto axle as close to bearings as possible. However, ensure axle can still spin freely. You may also wish to apply a mild loctite type glue between bearings and chassis to minimise any movement.

Ensure that you apply only the minimum pressure onto axle when tightening the grub screws in the spur gear and rear wheels. This will prevent 'pot' marks from forming on the axle surface.

Motor needs to be adjusted in chassis mount to ensure pinion gear forms a close mesh with spur gear.

THE FINAL STEP: If tyres are dipped into a mild soapie solution, they will slip onto the rim much easier. This technique will also ensure that tyres sit "truer" on the rim. Place 'moulding dots' on tyre side wall to back face of rim.
