box using four of the 2 x 8mm wood screws. Be careful not to

get any silicone sealer into the small holes in the output that

the cables pass through and do not over tighten the screws.

2. Next take a 5/64" drill bit and carefully over drill the small

hole that passes through the ﬁ nger lever of the on/off switch.

3. Install the switch harness onto the servo tray, making sure

that the switch is positioned on the starboard side of the tray

and that the off position of the switch is towards the back of

the boat. For safety reasons you want to have your switch

“PUSH” to turn the boat on. Slip the servo tray into the radio

box. Use four of the provided 2 x 8mm wood screws to hold

the tray in place. Install the rubber grommets and eyelets

(eyelets slide in from the bottom) onto the servos and place

the servos into the proper openings. Do your best to center

the servos in the opening so the sides of the servos do not

touch the edge of the wood. Using a 1/16" drill, pre-drill

the holes in the servo tray for the servo attaching screws.

Screw the servos in place using the screws provided with

the servos, being careful not to over tighten. Make sure you

have the output shaft positioned towards the front of the boat

on the steering servo and the output shaft to the port side on

the throttle servo.

ASSEMBLING THE PULL-PULL WHEEL

This step requires the following kit parts and tools:

35mm pull-pull wheel (VS1 Kit)

Five 2 x 6mm machine screws (VS1 Kit)

Five 2mm machine nuts (VS1 Kit)

.049" pull-pull silver cable (VS1 Kit)

35 mm servo wheel (FUTM2000, comes with most standard

size Futaba servos)

Hand drill

5/64" drill bit

1. Place the Futaba 35mm servo wheel over the top of the

pull-pull wheel. From the bottom side drill ﬁ ve matching holes

into the Futaba servo wheel that coincide with the ﬁ ve bolt

holes in the pull-pull wheel.

2. Test ﬁ t, and bolt the two parts together using the provided

M2 screws and nuts. Do not fully tighten the parts as we are

just checking the alignment of the holes you drilled. Remove

the screws from the assembly and install the pull-pull cable. To

do this grab the cable and make a small loop in the center of it.

Slip the loop into the recess in the pull-pull wheel as shown.
