This section describes the assembly of a vehicle. Firstly, lists with necessary materials and useful tools are given. Afterwards, the assembly is described step by step devided into the following 7 parts:
These instructions do not include PCB soldering. For instructions on PCB assemly, see PCB Assembly. |
For questions regarding assembly, please contact:

In this step, additional holes will be added to the underframe of the M18 to provide mounts for the charging connection, the fuse, and the switch. For this, a wooden template is used onto which even multiple underframes can be attached.
The assembly of the M18 Pro ends with the configuration of the servo and the wheels. In order to configure the HiTEC D89MW Servo, the HiTEC DPC-11 software is used.
This section describes the mounting of most electrical components, i.e., the soldering and mounting of
In this last section, the Main Board and the LED Holder will be attached and wired to the chassis. If the Main Board is not soldered yet, see here.
