Stage 24: Steering servo link

Stage 25: Chassis plate

Stage 26: Rear hub carrier

Stage 27: Front bumper assembly

Stage 28: Rear differential components

Stage 29: Right rear lower arm

Steering servo link

The components supplied with this stage make up the steering servo link, the rod that

connects the steering servo to the rest of the steering mechanism. When in use, the servo will

push or pull the rod to steer the car: when it pushes the rod, the car will turn to the right, and

when it pulls on it, the car will turn to the left.

Parts supplied:

A Ball-headed screws

B Ball ends

C Tie rod A

BCBA

1 For this session, you will need the parts supplied,

plus pliers and a screwdriver.

2 The ball ends will go on each end of the tie rod.

The rod’s threads are divided into two by the

unthreaded centre section, and these run in

opposite directions so that one will tighten

clockwise and the other will tighten anticlockwise.

3 Using pliers, hold the tie rod by

the centre and screw one of the

ball ends onto one end of it.

4 Screw the second ball end onto

the other end of the rod.

5 This is the rod with both ball

ends in place.

6 Push one of the ball-headed

screws into one of the ball ends.

Then fit the second one in the

same way.

7 Turn one of the ball ends so

that it is at a right angle to the

other one.

ASSEMBLY GUIDE – STAGE 25

Chassis plate

With this stage, you have

received a vital piece of your

model - the chassis plate. This is

the plate to which all of the other

parts of your Huracán will be

fitted, either directly or indirectly.

Parts supplied:

A Chassis plate A

The chassis plate is a single piece of aluminium

alloy, 326mm long and with a maximum width

of 150mm. Its relative thickness of 2.5mm

ensures that it has the rigidity needed by this

high-performance model. The holes drilled

into it will take the ﬁ xing screws of the

parts that will be ﬁ tted to it, and most

of the holes are countersunk to

ensure that the screw heads are

ﬂ ush with the surface. The four

oval-shaped holes towards the

rear are for mounting the two

engine supports. Their shape

allows precise adjustment of

the engine position, to ensure

that the pinion gears of the

clutch, located at the end of

the crankshaft, engage

perfectly with the ﬁ rst and

second gears. This adjustment of

the engine position also lets you

replace these gears if you want to vary

the gearing. In addition to the screw holes in

Above: The front end of the

chassis plate. The circled

holes are not countersunk,

because they are designed

to take plastic dowels rather

than screws.

Right: An example of how

the underside of the

chassis plate can get

scratched by the track

surface when the model is

driven. It shows how the

plate protects the inner

workings of the model.

plate, which take the ﬁ xing screws for the engine.

in the plate, there are eight other smaller

holes that aren’t countersunk – these holes are

for the plastic dowels on which some of the

parts are mounted.

Maintenance

The chassis plate is built to be light and sturdy

so it doesn’t require special care. However, as

well as carrying the model’s vital components,

the plate also protects them from damage, so

you may ﬁ nd that its underside gets scratched

during use. While not essential to do so, you

can gently buff away these scratches with

an abrasive paste, available from most

hobby shops.

ASSEMBLY GUIDE – STAGE 26

Rear hub carrier

Parts supplied:

A Ball-headed screws

B Outer ball bearing

C Rear hub carrier

D Threaded plugs

E Inner ball bearing

With this stage, you have received the components that make up one of the two rear

hub carriers. These are the only parts you will need for this stage.

1 In addition to the parts received with this stage,

you will need a 5mm Allen key.

2 Insert the two ball-headed screws into the two

lower holes of the hub carrier.

3 The two threaded plugs each have

a flat end and a slightly concave end.

4 Insert the Allen key into the flat

ends of one of the plugs, as shown.

5 Screw the plug into one of the two

lower holes of the hub carrier, from

the opposite side to the ball-headed

screw, then repeat the process to

insert the second plug into the other

lower hole. Test that the ball-headed

screws can still move freely, and

loosen the plugs slightly if they can’t.

6 Place the hub carrier as shown,

and position the small bearing to the

right of it and the larger bearing to

the left.

7 Insert the two bearings into

the corresponding holes in the

hub carrier.

8 This is how the rear hub carrier

should now appear. Store it away in

a labelled plastic bag until it is

needed again.

ASSEMBLY GUIDE – STAGE 27

Front bumper assembly

The components supplied with

this stage are parts of the rear

differential of your Huracán,

and they are the same as those of the front differential that you’ve already assembled. They won’t be used

at this point, however, so store them carefully in a labelled plastic bag. In this stage, you will start bringing

together the front bumper assembly from Stage 9, the left front suspension from Stage 12, and the front

differential from Stage 15.

Parts supplied:

A Rear differential pinions

B Cross shafts

C Shims

1 Prepare the bumper and the right front side

frame from Stage 9. Using a Phillips screwdriver,

unscrew the upper plate from the side frame.

2 Remove the screw that connects the side

frame to the front bumper assembly, and separate

the two parts.

plate to the left front

suspension assembly,

as shown in the picture.

6 For the next steps,

you will need the

suspension and bumper

assembly that you’ve

just worked on, plus the

chassis plate from Stage

25, five self-tapping

screws from Stage 9,

and the front differential

with its drivebelt from

Stage 15.

7 Place the front end

of the chassis plate into

the matching recess in

the underside of the

bumper, aligning the five

circled holes with those

on the bumper, and

inserting the pin of the

suspension assembly

into the hole indicated

by the arrow.

8 Tighten the five self-

tapping screws (Stage

9) into the five holes in

the chassis plate to

secure it to the bumper.

9 Place the drivebelt

onto the front

differential pulley.

10 Temporarily mount

the front differential

onto this stage’s

assembly, as shown,

fitting the end with the

pulley into the left front

suspension assembly.

of the chassis plate into

the matching recess in

the underside of the

bumper, aligning the five

circled holes with those

on the bumper, and

ASSEMBLY GUIDE – STAGE 29

Right rear lower arm

The new parts supplied with this stage are for the right rear suspension of your model. They are the right

rear lower arm, the rear lower arm pin and a ball-headed screw. These components are all similar to

those of the left rear suspension.

1 In addition to the right rear lower arm, the pin and

the ball-headed screw received with this stage, you

will need the right rear suspension mount from

Stage 23 and the rear hub carrier from Stage 26.

2 You will need a Phillips screwdriver and a

2.5mm Allen key.

3 Tighten the ball-headed screw

into the indicated hole in the right

rear lower arm.

4 Insert the tips of the ball-

headed screws in the rear hub

carrier into the holes in the lower

arm and start to screw them in.

5 Now slowly screw them further

into the holes, working on them

alternately.

6 This is how the assembly

should now appear. Note that the

ball-headed screws do not go all

the way in.

7 Insert the pin through the hole

in the lower arm (circled) and into

the hole in the right rear

suspension (arrowed).

8 The assembly should now look

like this. Store it in a labelled bag

until it is needed again.
