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.
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.
Time for the side guards on the chassis.
This also serves as a mounting point for one of the battery straps.
This will be the rear chassis brace
These metal collars help bling up the chassis, but also help support the brace when its screwed to the rear shock tower.
Before we can bolt the rear chassis brace in, part of the battery strap gets sandwiched between it and the chassis.
The rear battery strap also gets sandwiched to the chassis, this time with a small plastic tab.
Battery straps complete. The DEX408 is designed to use 2 – 2S Stick Lipos.
