After driving the pulley onto the axle using the counter top, I needed to continue driving the pulley to it's correct position.
NINCO005
Date: 12/20/2005
I found that the bearing were about 6mm wide.
NINCO006
Date: 12/20/2005
Here I am using one bearing and the wheel as a jig to tap the axle through until the 2nd bearing can be fitted onto the axle.
NINCO007
Date: 12/20/2005
Here you can see the instruction sheet, with the 12mm spacing for the axle pulleys marked.

Next job is to fit the front axle complete with the drive belts.
NINCO009
Date: 12/20/2005
After fitting the front axle and belts, now fit the belts around the rear axle and clip into the chassis.

Depending on track conditions you can fine tune the handling with one of 3 different shocks.

Here you can see the assembled Chassis, visible in the spares box are the tires and wheels.

After fitting the 2mm srews into the wheels it is a good idea to lubricate the wheel bearings and gear and motor.
NINCO021
Date: 12/20/2005
It is best to completely lube the chassis before fitting the NINCO body.
NINCO022
Date: 12/20/2005
Also lube the axle bearings.
NINCO023
Date: 12/20/2005
WE use an oiler with a fine tip to apply the light weight oil.
NINCO024
Date: 12/20/2005
Next we need to service the front axle.
NINCO025
Date: 12/20/2005
Oil lightly avoiding getting oil on the belt drive pulleys or belts.
NINCO026
Date: 12/20/2005
Now we need to set up the guide and braid.
NINCO027
Date: 12/20/2005
With the braid tops bent forward it is more difficult to fit the eyelets, however they are held tighter into the guide. I do this on all Slot Cars using this type of guide.
NINCO028
Date: 12/20/2005
Take care not to crush the lead wire on this next operation, only press on the edge of the eyelet.
NINCO030
Date: 12/20/2005
Straight tip brass screws. THese are machine screws not self tapping so tend to hold tight in the body post even when left loose to fine tune chassis float.
NINCO031
Date: 12/20/2005
Repeat for both eyelets, now you can tune the braid.
NINCO032
Date: 12/20/2005
Next set the braid to the correct shape.
NINCO033
Date: 12/20/2005
Braid contact problems are one of the most common set up errors on Slot Cars.
NINCO034
Date: 12/20/2005
All we need to do now is fit the Photo Etched parts.

Snip off the photo etched parts.
NINCO037

Next file off the flashing.
NINCO038

Leave the 3 points on the inside of the disc.
NINCO039
Date: 12/20/2005
I found a pen with the rear plug removed allowed me to easily position the discs.
NINCO040
Date: 12/20/2005
Here you see the disc fitted
NINCO041
Date: 12/20/2005
For extra security I also glued the discs to the wheel hubs.
