HUMMER H1: STEP BY STEP ™ Stage 36 Attaching the 46T gear to the main shaft Your parts Main shaft 1680 ball bearing E7 E-ring 2.5 × 16mm pin Tools and materials Needle-nose pliers Phillips screwdriver Masking tape (or Scotch tape) 46T gear (Stage 1) 169 HUMMER H1: STEP BY STEP ™ 1 2 Slide the 1680 ball bearing over the main shaft. It doesn’t matter which way the ball bearing goes. Push the bearing down the shaft so that it rests at the bottom (see dotted red line). 3 4 Once the bearing is sitting flush to the bottom of the shaft, fit the E7 E-ring on top of it (see dotted red line). Make sure that the E-ring is positioned so that the rounded surface is facing upward. 5 6 Clip the E-ring into place with needle-nose pliers. Prepare the 46T gear you built in Stage 1, and check that the three screws are fully tightened. If any are loose, simply tighten them with a screwdriver. 170 HUMMER H1: STEP BY STEP 7 Place the 2.5 × 16mm pin into the hole in the middle of the main shaft (circled). ™ 8 9 Adjust the pin so that equal lengths are protruding from each side of the shaft. 10 Push the gear down so that the ends of the pin sit inside the grooves in the back of the gear (marked with the dotted red lines). Making sure the pin doesn’t fall out, slide the 46T gear over the main shaft, back side first. 11 Press down firmly so that the pin is set into the groove and the gear is secured. Assembled parts 12 Wrap masking tape (or Scotch tape) around the tip of the main shaft, above the gear, to prevent it from falling off. 171 HUMMER H1: STEP BY STEP ™ Stage 37 The main shaft cup joint Your parts Main gear shaft 1680 ball bearing Tools and materials 5 × 4mm set screw Main shaft cup joint 2.5mm Allen key (Stage 7) Thread-locking agent (or rubber-based adhesive) 172 Main shaft assembly (Stage 36) Sealable plastic bag Marker pen HUMMER H1: STEP BY STEP Place the set screw onto the tip of the Allen key. 7 Apply a little threadlocking adhesive to the set screw (rubber-based adhesive can also be used). 1 Place the set screw into the threaded hole in the side of the main shaft cup joint (circled). Do this immediately, before the thread-locking agent or adhesive dries. 3 Look into the main hole of the cup joint, and keep turning the set screw until the end of the screw is visible, as shown. ™ Push the 1680 bearing onto the tip so that it sits flush with the body of the cup joint. 173 Turn the Allen key to feed the set screw into the side of the cup joint. 4 Place the 1680 ball bearing over the cup joint’s circular tip. 5 2 8 6 Remove the tape from the tip of the main shaft assembly built in Stage 36. HUMMER H1: STEP BY STEP 9 ™ 10 Place the cup joint and bearing assembly onto the tip of the main shaft, as shown. Make sure that the flat portion of the shaft's tip fits into the corresponding flattened section of the inside of the joint (see arrow). 11 Push the cup joint down so that it rests against the gear. If it is difficult to push it, loosen the set screw a little. 12 Applying pressure with your hands to keep the parts tight to each other, tighten the set screw firmly with the Allen key. Holding the Allen key so that its shorter arm is in the screw and its longer arm is in your hand will make it easier to tighten, as you are given greater leverage. Assembled parts As you have done in earlier stages, keep any unused parts in a plastic bag, and mark the stage number for ease of reference. 174 HUMMER H1: STEP BY STEP ™ Stage 38 Assembling the main gear Your parts Center gear (20T) Main gear (46T) Tools and materials 1480 ball bearings × 2 3 × 8mm countersunk screws × 3 Phillips screwdriver Masking tape Main gear shaft (Stage 37) Plastic bag Marker pen 175 HUMMER H1: STEP BY STEP Fit the 20T center gear into the center of the 46T main gear. 7 Adjust the center gear so that the circled holes line up with those on the 46T gear, and that it is fitting snugly into place. 1 From the back, insert the first 3 × 8mm countersunk screw into one of the holes (see arrow). 3 Insert the next two 3 × 8mm countersunk screws. Again, tighten lightly at first: when all three are in lightly, tighten each fully. ™ Tighten with a screwdriver, but not too firmly at this stage. 4 Place the first 1480 ball bearing into the space in the center gear, as arrowed. It does not matter which way the bearing goes. 5 2 Press the bearing into place. 8 176 6 Hold the first bearing in place from the back, then place the other bearing into the corresponding space at the front of the center gear. HUMMER H1: STEP BY STEP Press the bearing into place, making sure it is sitting straight. ™ 9 10 Inspect the main gear shaft supplied with Stage 37. You will see it has a ‘collar’ near the center of the shaft, and that this divides the shaft into a longer and shorter end. Place the longer end of the main gear shaft into the front of the center and main gear assembly, as shown by the arrow. 11 Pull through from the back so that the parts are flush with each other, then use masking tape to hold the shaft in place. 13 Slide the shaft into the gear so that the collar rests against the 1480 ball bearing. 12 Check that your assembly matches the one in the photo, and that the tape is holding the parts in place securely. 14 Assembled parts 177 Store your assembly in a sealable plastic bag. This is especially important for the parts that make up the gears, as any dust that gets into these parts may cause difficulties at a later stage. HUMMER H1: STEP BY STEP ™ Stage 39 Assembling and mounting the center gear Your parts Center gear cover Center gear mount back Center gear mount front Brake cam rod Brake cam Tools and materials 3 × 18mm self-tapping screws × 4 3 × 3mm set screw Brake collar 3 × 12mm self-tapping screws × 2 3 × 12mm binding-head screws × 2 Phillips screwdriver 1.5mm Allen key Thread-locking agent (or rubber-based adhesive) Center gear (Stage 37) 178 Main gear assembly (Stage 38) Sealable plastic bag Marker pen HUMMER H1: STEP BY STEP ™ 1 Place the center gear mount front flat on your work surface, as shown. The center gear mount front and back parts look very similar, so make absolutely sure you select the front part. Place one of the 3 × 12mm binding-head screws into the first hole, as shown. 2 Turn the screw with a screwdriver, making sure the screw enters the gear mount perfectly straight. When you feel the screw reach the far side of the mount, carefully remove the screw, again making sure to keep the screw straight. 3 Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the other hole, so that both holes are left with the screw's indentations, forming the 'tapped' inside (see circles). 4 Remove the masking tape from the main gear assembly built in Stage 38. 5 Insert the tip of the main gear shaft into the hole in the underside of the center gear mount back, following the arrow. 6 Next, re-familiarize yourself with the proportions of the center gear assembly built in Stage 37. The left side is thicker and the right side is thinner. 7 Making sure not to dislodge the main gear, place the center gear assembly into the second hole on the underside of the gear mount, as shown. 8 Adjust until the teeth of the center gear engage fully with those of the main gear (circled). Make sure not to force the parts, as this may damage the teeth. Once engaged, ensure the center gear is sitting straight. 179 HUMMER H1: STEP BY STEP Press the parts firmly together. 9 Press the parts firmly together, making sure that the ball bearing on the center gear shaft sits inside the hole of the gear mount front, as shown. Place the center gear mount front part over the tips of each gear assembly and press together, following the arrows. Check against the photo that you have the parts aligned correctly. 10 11 12 It is very important that the parts fit together snugly, so check closely against the photo to make sure that your assembly looks exactly like this. Place the 3 × 3mm set screw onto the tip of the Allen key, and apply a little thread-locking agent (or rubber-based adhesive). 13 Inspect the cam section of the brake cam (pictured) – there is one short side and one long side. ™ 15 Hold the brake cam level, as shown, and carefully insert the set screw. Make sure that the set screw is in perfectly straight, then tighten by two rotations. 14 Position the gear mount assembly on your work surface, as shown, then carefully place the brake cam into the arrowed slot, with the short side of the cam facing you. 180 16 HUMMER H1: STEP BY STEP Press the brake cam into place. 17 Place the brake collar onto the tip of the brake cam, with the flange side facing down. ™ Press the brake collar down so that it rests on the upper edge of the gear mount. 19 Hold the assembly level, then lower the center gear cover onto it, so that the arrowed holes line up. 21 The short side of the cam should be visible in the rectangular hole from the outside of the gear mount. 18 20 22 From above, check that the circled screw holes are correctly aligned. Holding the parts together, insert the first 3 × 18mm self-tapping screw into the circled hole and tighten lightly. 23 Next, repeat for the next three circled holes. Do not fully tighten the screws at this stage. 181 24 HUMMER H1: STEP BY STEP ™ Holding the assembly in your hand, as shown in the photo, insert two 3 × 12mm self-tapping screws into the holes at the top corners. Again, do not fully tighten yet. 25 Once the two 3 × 12mm screws, and the four 3 × 18mm screws are in, tighten each fully with a screwdriver. 26 27 28 29 Push the brake cam rod through the hole in the shaft of the brake cam protruding from the gear cover. Adjust the rod so that the straight end sits 1mm away from the side of the raised section of the gear case, and the looped end is facing upward, as shown. Use the 1.5mm Allen key to tighten the set screw fitted in Step 14 until it presses down on the rod, stopping it from moving. Check that the brake cam is able to rotate by turning the brake cam rod from side to side. 30 Check that the gears are able to rotate freely inside the mount casing by turning the center gear's cup joint. It does not matter if the parts catch a little bit at this stage. Assembled parts 31 Store unused parts safely in a sealable plastic bag, and mark the stage number on it for ease of reference. 182 HUMMER H1: STEP BY STEP ™ 183 HUMMER H1: STEP BY STEP ™ Stage 40 Installing the disc brake Your parts Front torque rod Brake calipers × 2 Brake pads × 2 Brake disc Steering posts × 2 Tools and materials 4 × 10mm countersunk screws × 2 3 × 10mm self-tapping screw 3 × 10mm self-tapping countersunk screws × 2 4 × 10mm binding-head screws × 2 Phillips screwdriver Center gear mount assembly (Stage 39) Main chassis (Stage 32) Steering plate (Stage 26) 3 × 12mm binding screws × 2 (Stage 39) 184 HUMMER H1: STEP BY STEP ™ 1 Inspect the brake pads and calipers. Lay the parts out, as shown: note the shape and orientation of each. The holes on the left and right side are different shapes (see red circles). Ignore the pattern printed on the brake pads. 2 3 Next, place the corresponding brake pad over the caliper, making sure the holes line up. 4 Fit the brake disc over the protruding cup joint. 5 Place the second brake pad over the brake disc, so that its holes line up with those of the first. 6 Add the second brake caliper. 7 Place the first 3 × 12mm binding-head screw provided in Stage 39 through the holes on the right of the brake pads and calipers, and into the hole in the gear mount beneath. 8 Holding the parts in place, gently tighten the screw, but stop before the head touches the outermost caliper. 185 Holding the center gear mount as shown, place the first brake caliper so that its two holes line up with those on the casing of the mount (arrows). Make sure you have the orientation of the caliper positioned correctly, as shown in the photo. HUMMER H1: STEP BY STEP ™ Tighten the second 3 × 12mm binding-head screw (Stage 39) into the wider hole on the left side of the pads and calipers, and tighten lightly. 9 11 From the side, your brake pads and calipers should look like this. Turn the screws until there is a gap of about 1mm between the outermost caliper and the screw head. 10 12 The disc brake is complete, and should look like this. Prepare the steering plate and servo saver assembly built in Stage 26. The steering plate is in the middle, with the two servo savers to the left and right. Place one of the steering posts into the hole in the center of the right servo saver, from the side that houses the spring. 13 Insert the other steering post into the hole in the left servo saver from the same side as you did the first. 15 Push the steering post through to the back of the servo saver. 14 Pull the servo savers apart gently and place the assembly directly behind the front bulkhead from the rear. 186 16 HUMMER H1: STEP BY STEP Turn the servo savers until they line up directly with the circled holes on the front upper plate. 17 Tighten the screw, but not entirely at this stage, as the lower part of the steering post is not fixed yet. Position the front torque rod beneath the center of the front upper plate, as shown by the arrow. 23 Place the first 4 × 10mm binding-head screw into the right hole in the front upper plate and through to the hole in the right servo saver. 18 Repeat Steps 18 and 19 for the left servo saver and the second 4 × 10mm binding-head screw. 19 21 Set a 3 × 10mm bindinghead screw into the hole, as shown. ™ 20 Fit the front torque rod to the upper plate, so that the contours of each are flush with one another. 22 Tighten the screw securely with a screwdriver. 187 24 HUMMER H1: STEP BY STEP 25 ™ Next, carefully turn the main chassis over, and place a 4 × 10mm countersunk screw into the hole leading to the bottom of the right servo saver. Tighten with a screwdriver. 26 27 28 29 Repeat for the left servo saver. Next locate the holes in the underside of the chassis that lead to the holes of the front torque rod, and insert a 3 × 10mm countersunk self-tapping screw. Tighten with a screwdriver. 30 Repeat for the adjacent hole to finish attaching the front torque rod. Assembled parts 31 Turn the chassis back over and complete tightening the screws in the left and right servo savers. 188 HUMMER H1: STEP BY STEP ™ Stage 41 Fitting the driveshafts Your parts Roll bar Front driveshaft Rear driveshaft 4 × 16mm self-tapping countersunk screws × 4 Tools and materials 3 × 12mm countersunk screws × 2 3 × 10mm binding-head screws × 2 3mm nuts × 2 Phillips screwdriver Main chassis assembly (Stage 40) Center gear mount (Stage 40) 189 HUMMER H1: STEP BY STEP ™ 1 Back Front Front driveshaft (Shorter) Lay the main chassis assembly (Stage 40) on your work surface facing to the left. Place the center gear mount (also Stage 40) in the center, as shown here. Next, lay out both driveshafts – the longer of the two is the rear driveshaft, and the shorter is the front driveshaft. The difference in length is not large, so make sure not to get these confused. Rear driveshaft (Longer) 2 Place one end of the front driveshaft into the differential cup joint facing out of the front bulkhead (circled). 3 Make sure the metal pin set into the end of the driveshaft fits into the two slots in the cup joint. 4 Holding the driveshaft carefully so that the end fitted in Step 2 doesn't fall out of the cup joint, angle the center gear mount so that its protruding cup joint accommodates the other end of the driveshaft. 5 Again, make sure the tip of the driveshaft is fully inserted into the cup joint. 6 Making sure neither end of the front driveshaft is dislodged, fit the tip of the rear driveshaft into the second cup joint. 7 Holding the parts together carefully, fit the other end of the rear driveshaft into the differential cup joint beneath the rear bulkhead. 190 HUMMER H1: STEP BY STEP Make sure the metal pin is fitted into the slots in the cup joint. 8 Holding the center gear mount and driveshafts in place, turn the chassis assembly around so the bottom is facing upward, then place the first 4 × 16mm self-tapping countersunk screw into one of the circled holes. Screw the remaining 4 × 16mm self-tapping countersunk screws into the remaining three holes. When all are in, tighten each fully. 14 With both driveshafts in place, lower the center gear mount down onto the surface of the main chassis, so that the four holes line up with those on the chassis. 9 Still holding the center gear mount carefully in place, tighten the screw with a Phillips screwdriver. Do not tighten fully at this stage. 10 12 Place a 3 × 10mm bindinghead screw into the first of the holes on the shorter arm of the roll bar. ™ 11 Turn the chassis assembly around, then place the roll bar over the center gear mount, as shown. The shorter arm will sit on the center gear mount itself, and the longer on the surface of the chassis (see arrows). 13 Tighten with a screwdriver, but do not use too much force at this stage – the roll bar should not be rotated by the turning. 191 15 HUMMER H1: STEP BY STEP ™ Place the second 3 × 10mm binding-head screw into the adjacent hole, then tighten both fully. 16 Next, inspect the longer arm of the roll bar – it does not matter if it has come away from the chassis surface a little. Place a 3mm nut into the groove in the tip of the arm, as shown by the arrow. 17 18 19 20 Holding the nut in place with your finger, turn the chassis around and place a 3 × 12mm countersunk screw into the corresponding hole on the underside of the roll bar. Tighten the screw into the nut with a screwdriver. Be careful not to overscrew, as this can damage the inside of the nut. Turn the chassis around and place the second 3mm nut into the next groove in the roll bar. As you did with the first screw, turn around and place the screw into the second hole. 21 Tighten both screws fully.
