Yes, I believe you right. These look good.


When testing with a power supply, provide 14.8V DC and current limit to 1.0A.
When testing with a power supply, provide 14.8V DC and current limit to 1.0A. Just to the left of the main fuse is a XT30 connector labeled "Switch" – this if for the main on/off toggle switch. The XT30 connectors labeled MM Load and MM DC are connect to the multimeter box.

## Assemble the axes that connect to the rocker-bogie

## Assemble the bearing support structrues that connect to the rocker-bogie


Make two of these and connect them to the sides of the body. They should be installed exactly in the middle, which means that you're going to connect each side to the 17th hole on the long 41-hole beams on the top and bottom of the body frame. Use the M4 16mm socket screws.

The bearings have a flat side and a 'hollow' side. The hollow sides should both be pointing to the same side, as shown in the image.

## Install the hinges for the top body plates

You will need the 20 or 22mm M4 standoffs, the 3x5 hole plate, the hinge assembly (assemble following the [instructions on GoBilda](https://www.gobilda.com/plastic-hinge-2-pack/), orientation matters).
