Bag G!DSCF5063

Ok, Time to make the donuts…I mean the steering.

This bar links the two steering posts.

There is a small bearing within the steering post to keep the movements fluid.

This metal block gets mounted to the chassis, and sets the angle for the steering posts.

DSCF5071

This plastic brace goes from the shocktower to the chassis, and sandwiches the steering posts.

If you notice, there are two holes in the side of the brace. The screws through the chassis will be captured with nuts here.

DSCF5074

Time for the side guards on the chassis.

DSCF5076

This also serves as a mounting point for one of the battery straps.

DSCF5078

This will be the rear chassis brace

DSCF5079

These metal collars help bling up the chassis, but also help support the brace when its screwed to the rear shock tower.

DSCF5080

Before we can bolt the rear chassis brace in, part of the battery strap gets sandwiched between it and the chassis.

DSCF5081

The rear battery strap also gets sandwiched to the chassis, this time with a small plastic tab.

DSCF5082

Battery straps complete. The DEX408 is designed to use 2 – 2S Stick Lipos.
