I install motor, esc, rx, and then servo because you need to center the servo.

After installing the hardware. Ensure your steering servo arms dont rub on chassis or the linkage against the servo.

Ensure your radio is centered for steering and throttle before you begin aligning the steering. then check end points to ensure you dont damage the steering arms and joints.

Read the instructions for your ESC to calibrate the throttle positions.
