Hinweise für den Ausbau des Chassis.
- Zunächst sind alle Bedien - Knöpfe ( einschließlich der Achsverlängerungen ) zu entfernen.
- Den Deckel des Batteriefachs ( 2 Schrauben ) lösen.
- Die Rückwand ( 3 Schrauben ) abmontieren.
- Das Chassis selbst ist mit 4 Schrauben befestigt, von denen eine sich im Batteriefach befindet.
- Ganz wichtig ist folgendes : Vor dem Herausnehmen des Chassis muß man den Endknopf der Antenne abschrauben und diese ganz einschieben.
