Opening the case
The case of your Neon is unique because it does not have
the traditional screws holding it together.
Instead, we have created a "pull apart" case to facilitate
access to the inside components.
To open your case, unscrew the antenna and remove it,
slide the tabs located at the bottom corners off and gently pull
the bezel at the base of the antenna up, and then remove the
crystal (See Image). Now, separate the two case half's while
being careful of the internal wiring harness to the throttle switch,
unplug the wires leading to the throttle switch, and you can
now access the internal components to add optional feature
packages, reverse your servos, or change the battery out.
