Wiring up Your Chariot

Fitting the Motor Controller Boards

The board you have configured as a master board is fitted at the rear of the chariot nearest to the receiver.

You should already have marked on the chassis the positions of the four holes in the two PCBs and drilled through the MDF with a 2.5mm drill.

1.       Insert 3mm x 20mm pan head machine bolts through the circuit board and fit the plastic spacers. Screw the four bolts into the MDF, but not too tight.

Hint: Hold the board firmly down onto the spacers as you tighten the screws or you may distort or crack the circuit board.
