Component Assembly of APP4MC Racecar¶
This sections provides the steps to assemble the components on RC car platform. The platform deck consists of two levels. The lower level is integrated with the Traxxas chassis using M3 standoffs. The lower and upper platform deck are connected to each other using M3 standoffs. For providing additional support, the lower platform is supported by a support platform.
