Pack 05 contains Stages 17 - 20

Stage 17 - Contains the Steering Servo.

You will need the spacers and servo mount supplied in pack 03 to complete this Stage.

Fit the servo mounts onto the upper servo lugs, and the spacer post to the wire exit side of the servo.

Take the lower front chassis assembly and the four 3x16mm screws (pack 03). Lower the front chassis over the servo and secure with two screws at the rear into the spacer post beneath.

Place the remaining two screws into the front servo securing holes, place a piece of masking tape over them, which is to hold them in place until the next stage as these cannot be secured just yet.

That's it for this stage.
