4. Battery Tray: Locate the battery, screw Bag A, and the battery straps. The two short straps go through the holes running along the length of
the tray (the “long” sides), underneath the tray and between the chassis and the tray. The long strap goes through the two holes running along the
width of the tray (the “short” sides). Insert the straps, hook side first, with the hook side facing towards the outside of the tray. The direction of the
straps and where the buckle ends up is a matter of personal preference. Thread the included (6x) M4x6mm screws through the tray and into the
chassis. Be sure to use blue thread lock on all six screws.
NOTE: TO ENSURE YOUR BATTERY DOES NOT EJECT FROM THE VEHICLE, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU INSTALL AND FASTEN ALL THREE
BATTERY STRAPS. RUNNING LESS THAN THREE STRAPS IS NOT RECOMENDED AND WILL MORE THAN LIKELY RESULT IN A BATTERY
ACCIDENT.
5. Receiver Box: Locate the receiver box and screw bag ‘B’. Test fit your receiver to find the best placement. Secure your receiver with servo
tape and screw the receiver box bottom to the chassis with (2x) M3x6mm screws. There are 3 sets of holes to mount the RX box. Use the set that puts
the RX box closest to the mudguards. Once your servos and ESC are installed and you’ve set up your radio, install the receiver box top. You will want
to orient the box top so the ‘TEKNO’ is on the outside, closest to the mudguard providing the most clearance for your servo arm (fig. 4).
6. Wire Guides: Locate the wire guides and screw bag ‘H’.
There are 3 wire guides included with the kit, only 2 are used with
the JQ kit. They look like upside down ‘U’s. There are cutouts on
the chassis indicating the position and orientation of the guides. You
will need to install 2 of the guides in the middle of the chassis.
Install them at this point using the supplied M3x6mm screws, but
leave them loose so you can run the ESC wire underneath them.
The servo wire can go straight into the RX box. Tighten them down
once the electronics are properly installed.

7. Servo Mounts: Locate screw bag ‘C’. Install the
servo on to the servo mounts as shown in fig. 5. Be
aware that you will need to remove the wire guide "ears"
off of the servo mounts to clear the cutouts in the chassis
(see fig. 6). Only one set of servo mounts will be used.
8. ESC Tray: Locate the ESC tray and screw bag ‘I’.
Test fit your ESC before securing anything down so as not
to position your ESC too close to the gears. Once you
have decided on your ESC position, use servo tape to
secure it to the tray. It is also recommended that you use
a long zip-tie to go around the tray and ESC for added
security. Use the included M3x6mm screws to attach the
tray to the chassis. Route the wire through the wire guide
to keep it out of harms way.
9. Transponder Mount: The transponder mount included with the kit is not used for the JQ Car. We recommend mounting your transponder on
the front steering top brace or on the inside of the right mud guard with either Velcro or double-sided tape. Alternatively, you can mount the Tekno RC
transponder mount in another location.
10. Center Drive Shafts: There are two drive axles included in the kit. The long axle installs in front and the short axle installs in the rear. You
will put them in place when you re-install the front and rear suspension assemblies on the car. See fig. 9 for placement.
11. Front and Rear Assembly to V4 Chassis:
The next step will be to re-install the front and rear assemblies onto your new V4 chassis. You will be using both the front and rear stock chassis
braces. When installing the front and rear assemblies onto the chassis, be sure to thread each screw a little at a time. This will ensure that the
assembly goes down evenly and does not tweak to one side or the other. Be sure that both front and rear center axles are seated in the drive cups
before tightening everything down.
12. Mudguards: Locate the Mudguards and screw bag ‘D’. Each mud guard is installed with (3x) M3x10mm flat head screws. The mud guards
should be the last parts you need to install.
