screw on the top armor plate and
you’re done with the construction of
the lifter. All that is left is the basic
radio setup. Once the radio and bot
are powered up with the left stick all
the way down, you want to adjust the
trim so the lifter arm just touches the
top armor. You don't want it pressing
the top on the bot as that just creates
unnecessary load on the servo for no
benefit.
You should now have a fully
completed bot with a lifter to topple
your opponent ready for combat. I
would recommend double-checking the
weight to make sure you're within the
rules of your event, but I found mine
to come in at 15. 5 oz so you should
have no issues being under 1 lb.
Well there you have it. You've
now successfully built your Viper kit
with the Lifter Add-On. All you need
to do now is practice driving it for
your first event! SV
