Cybertruck Skateboard
  • In this Chapter we will assembly the sub assemblies from 20.-24. Chapter!
  • Because of the different components (ESC (Electronic Speed Controllers), Transmitter and remote controller, Battery size) your version maybe slightly looks different!
  • On the images you see the alternative INJORA T6 Transmitter, not the default/preferred FlySky FS-GT5 transmitter!
  • You have to make sure, that you print the correct Skateboard middle part (SK_MIDDLE_MAIN), which fit completely for your Electronic components!
  • On the images you will see an All Wheel Drive (AWD) version, with two cooling fan and with front and rear lights. If you don’t use everything, you can skip steps!

Wheel rotation during acceleration


Sub-Steps:

Turn on the Rear ESC
Turn on the Front ESC (for AWD version)
Turn on the Remote controller
Press on the Remote controller the acceleration arm to the left (accelerate) very gently and check that the wheels rotated clockwise (), when the skateboard is on the bottom side.
If the front, or rear wheels rotated counterclockwise, than change the front/rear motor connections to the ESC. Go back to the Step 5 and step 8 and reverse the motor cables!
Check the servo steering center position! It should be in the center when you turn on the Remote controller. If the steering is off from the center you have two option:

  • Recommended: Go back to the Chapter 23 / Step 5, remove the Servo assembly, set back the SK_STEERING_RACK to the center and fix back the Servo assembly
  • Not recommended: Compensate the Steering with your remote controller. It is recommended only for the fine tuning!

Check the Servo steering at complete left and complete right position. If you hear crackling, crunching sounds from the steering, you have to limit the steering (Chapter 26 / Step 5), or you will produce extra load on your steering rod!

, Turn off the Rear ESC and Front ESC to continue with the next steps.


Please read your Transmitter + Remote Controller user manual to have the knowledge howto use it! It is a must criteria to use your Cybertruck RC!
