IG52-DB Heavy Duty Enclosed Robot Mechanical Assembly 1. Mount the motors as shown in Figure 2, with the motor spacer plate between the motor and the chassis. Make sure to use Loctite on the screws. Once the motor is mounted, the small sprockets can be mounted on the motor shaft. The hub should face the motor and they should be pushed all the way against the inside plate with just a small clearance for rotation. Figure 2: Exploded view sketch of motor mounting 2.

At this point, the side slot covers can be mounted. 5. Mount the batteries with the provided hardware. Foam is included if needed for a tight fit. Simply stick it to the underside of the battery bracket before bolting down. The foam can also be used underneath the batteries to space them up over the weld. 6.
IG52-DB Heavy Duty Enclosed Robot Figure 5: Chain layout 8. The easiest way to cut the chain is with a chain breaker tool, illustrated in Figure 6. Figure 6: Chain breaker tool 9. Alternatively, clamp the chain in a vise and grind/file the ends of the pins down. Then drive the pin through the chain. Refer to Figure 7, Figure 8, and Figure 9.

IG52-DB Heavy Duty Enclosed Robot Mounting Electrical Components 12. Mount batteries using battery brackets and hardware provided. Use foam tape on the bracket and underneath the battery to ensure a snug fit. 13. Measure a place on the chassis to mount the switch. The rear plate of the chassis is a good place for it Make sure that it is mounted low enough that it doesn’t interfere with the lid. Drill a ½” hole. 14. Drill a hole near the switch to mount the charging jack. 15.

IG52-DB Heavy Duty Enclosed Robot Figure 13: Motor Wiring and Motor Controller Circuit Operation 1. Before powering on the robot make sure it is up on blocks so the wheels can spin freely. Occasionally some or all of the wheels start as soon as the motor controller gets power. In this case the settings of the motor controller need to be changed. 2. Make sure to use the correct DIP switch settings. If using R/C mode switch 1 should be DOWN (closest to the number) and all other switches should be UP.
