3. Carefully reinstall the Futaba servo wheel back over the

top of the pull-pull wheel and reinstall the screws and nuts.

You can place a small dab of thread lock on the screws

before tightening them down. Also, it is not a bad idea to use

a small amount of epoxy in the area the cables cross over

each other to keep them from slipping during operation.

INSTALLING THE ON/OFF PUSHROD WIRE

This step requires:

On/Off rod wire .069" dia. 16" long (VS1 Kit)

3/32" collar with M3 set screw (VS1 Kit)

Needle nose pliers

1.5mm hex wrench

1. Slip the wire through the on/off hole in the output of the

radio box. You are going to want to do this by inserting the

wire from the inside of the box through the cable output.

Temporarily remove the steering servo and 4 screws that

hold the servo tray into the box. Slip the tray forward but do

not remove it. Slide the bent end into the hole you enlarged

into the switch.

2. Carefully slide the servo tray back into position, taking

note the on/off pushrod wire needs to exit the transom you

drilled earlier. The wire will ﬂ ex around the tank mount block.

Install the small lock collar on the end of the wire to complete

this step.

Grimracer says: One way to protect

your on/off switch from accidentally

being turned on or off is by clipping the

wire to just 1" long after it exits the radio box. This shorter

inside switch position requires you to unscrew the cowl

before and after each run but makes the on/off switch less

susceptible to accidental bumping.

In the future if you decide you would like to move the switch

back out through the transom, this can easily be done by

saving your cut-off length of wire and binding the two wires

together using a 5/32" locking collar (not included).
