How to Install the YIKONG YK4107Pro RC Car Footboard
Following the correct installation procedure ensures the Footboard is securely mounted while preserving the original appearance of your YIKONG YK4107Pro RC Car.
Step 1: Turn Off the Vehicle
Switch off the YIKONG YK4107Pro RC Car and disconnect the battery before beginning installation.
Step 2: Identify the Left and Right Footboards
Locate both Footboards and confirm the correct left and right orientation.
Test-fit them before installation to ensure the mounting holes align properly.
Step 3: Clean the Mounting Area
Inspect both mounting locations for:
-
Dust
-
Dirt
-
Sand
-
Other debris
Clean the surface if necessary to ensure the Footboards fit tightly against the body.
Step 4: Install the Footboards
Align each Footboard with the mounting holes and install the screws.
Tighten the screws evenly in sequence to prevent uneven installation.

Overtightening may cause:
-
Deformed mounting holes
-
Damaged threads

Cracked PA material
Tighten the screws only until the Footboards are secure without any movement.
Step 6: Perform a Final Inspection
After installation, verify that:
-
The left and right Footboards are correctly installed.

All screws are securely tightened.
-
The Footboards fit closely against the body.

Suspension and wheel movement are not restricted.
Perform a low-speed test drive to confirm everything is secure.
