HCT F1 Wing Installation

The end result: You want all three bolts securing wing using the nuts (nuts sandwiched in-between the two lower wing sections). The bolts will start from the underside of the body’s interior roof, through the roof, through the wing holes, and into the nuts.

You will need to drill out the stock holes in the body (and transparent smoked interior window shell) that mount the original small aluminum wing to accommodate larger M3 bolts that better secure the large HCT F1 wing. This drilling process is not un-doable! Use a 3mm bit to drill out the three 2mm holes at the rear of the body that held the old aluminum wing. Below is the interior with the three holes drilled out to 3mm each (center hole shown without bolt to clearly see hole size). If you're using the HCT Magnetic Mounting System, you'll need to also Dremel/grind out the transparent window shell (otherwise not needed).

Use the supplied Tonic RC wrench (or any thin 5mm flat wrench, needle nose pliers will not work very well) to hold one of the supplied black M3 locking nuts. You can use some masking tape to hold the nut into the wrench if needed.

The larger side of the nut’s direction should be facing the roof (as shown in the first photo). Start with the center hole. Use a hand hex driver here, not an electronic one. Run the bolt through the body’s roof hole, place the wing’s respective hole with the wrench/bolt in place, so the bolt car meet the nut. Once contact is made, start screwing the bolt into the nut. Do not fully tighten just yet. Repeat for the other two bolts/nuts. Once all three bolts/nuts are fitted, tighten the bolts. No need to over tighten here.
