Step 8: Move the switch/charging jack into position on the chassis.

This picture is showing the orientation of the motor and switch/charging jack in the chassis. The servo gears were removed for clarity.







This picture was taken looking up at everything. All the pieces are lying on the top plate (for the picture) opposite of what is being described.
Please note the battery is oriented backwards and so is the switch/charging jack.
Step 9: Put the extra long screw back in the middle hole in the rear pod. Place the rear spring over it. Install this assembly back into the chassis. It fits into the notches in the chassis under the battery box.

The battery box was removed for clarity in this picture.

Step 10: Start lowering the top chassis plate onto the bottom chassis plate. If anything has shifted, probably the switch/charging jack, put it back into place. While lowering try and route the wires so they are in the notches in the top plate. This may be done later if needed. Again, the brown and green on the left and the red and black on the right.

After the top chassis has been lowered into place, make sure none of the wires are stuck in the screw posts. You will probably have to use light pressure to keep the two pieces together until all the screw are in.
