Safety Instructions for Batteries

Caution: Risk of explosion
if battery is replaced by an
incorrect type. Dispose of
used batteries according to
the instructions.

1. Use only four(4) AA alkaline batteries in your ATX100 transmitter.

2. Do not dispose of the battery in a fire as it may explode. Check with local codes for
possible special disposal instructions.

3. Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause
damage to the eyes and skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.

4. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting
materials such as rings, bracelets and keys. The battery or conduction material may over­heat and cause burns.

Driving Fundamentals

We design all ARRMA cars to be fun and quick to get used to.
However, it is important to be comfortable with the handling
before exploring the upper reaches of your car's performance.

Post-Drive Checks

i

For the first run we recommend taking your kit to an open, flat
area (such as a park) ensuring you are away from potential
hazards, people or animals.

Start by simply driving round in a large loop, slowly building
up speed to get used to the handling. Alter the size of the loop
and your speed. Watch out for the rear-end of the car breaking
loose. If the car does slide try to counter-steer into the skid and
accelerate out or let-off the throttle and let it come to a stop.

To take a corner you need to slow down before the corner, hold
your speed through the curve and, once you see an exit line,
accelerate out of the corner.

Once you have practiced the basic driving techniques and you
are comfortable with the performance of the car you can start to
open-up the full performance potential of your car.

spacers between the top of the shock
and the top of the suspension springs.
These plastic clips are included in the
kit in 1mm, 3mm and 7mm versions.

Raising the ride height not only gives
you greater ground clearance when
running on more uneven surfaces but
it can also affect the chassis balance
of the car. Experiment by raising the
height of the front and rear at the
same time or independently and see
how it affects the handling of your car.

The camber links are the arms that link the top of hubs to the chassis. The
length can be adjusted to alter the camber of the front and rear wheels.
The adjustments and their effects are listed below:

Length Characteristic

Front Shorter More negative camber, more stability, smoother

steering, slower response.

Longer Less negative camber, more direct steering, quicker

response.

Rear Shorter More negative camber, less forward traction, smoother

cornering, use for high grip surfaces.

Longer Les s negative cambe r, more forw ard traction, le ss

smooth cornering, good for low grip surfaces.

Steering Arm Length (Toe-In/Out)

Camber Link Position

Shock Position

The steering arm links are the connection between the front hubs and
the steering mechanism in the chassis. The length of these can adjust the
front toe-in/-out.

Adjusting the toe can create either toe-in, which is where the wheels point
inwards towards a centreline in front of the vehicle, or toe-out where the
wheels point towards a centreline behind the vehicle. The effect of these
adjustments is below:

Length Characteristic

Standard Zero toe, standard setting, neutral handling.
Shorter Toe-Out, increasing cornering abilty, less stability on straights.
Longer Toe-In, more stability on straights.

The camber links are the arms that link the top of hubs to the
chassis. The length can be adjusted to alter the camber of the front
and rear wheels.

The adjustments and their effects are listed below:

Position Characteristic

Inner Standard position, Less chassis roll, lower overall grip,

quicker to respond to inputs.

Outer (Adjust camber link turbuckle to return camber to correct

angle) More chassis roll, more overall grip, slower to
respond to inputs.

The shock mounting position is where the bottom of the shock
mounts to the lower wishbone of the suspension.

Adjusting the angle of the shock can change the way the
suspension reacts to bumps and also cornering forces.

Drivetrain Tuning

Gear Chart

Your ARRMA kit has one gear ratio and this can be altered by changing the pinion or spur gear in the
transmission. The standard gearing of your kit is designed to give the best compromise between speed and acceleration. Increasing the
top speed will reduce acceleration and vice versa. Too low or high a gear will put strain on the motor/ESC, and potentially damage them.

Pinion Gear (T=Tooth) 13T 14T 15T 16T 17T 18T 19T 20T 21T 22T 23T 24T 25T 26T 27T 28T 29T 30T

Spur Gear

Standard Gear Ratios

The numbers shown in chart is the number of times the spur gear is larger than the pinion, or the ‘gear ratio’. Essentially this is number
of rotations the motor/pinion gear has to rotate the larger spur gear once. The lower the ‘gear ratio’ the greater the potential top speed,
the higher the ‘gear ratio’ the greater the potential acceleration.

Upgraded motors/ESCs and non-standard wheels may require different gear ratios. Try to find the best balance between speed/
acceleration and handling/performance. For help selecting the correct gear ratio for your upgrades visit the GO FOR IT forums at
GOFORIT-RC.com.

Differential Tuning

When turning a corner the inside wheel travels
a shorter distance than the outside wheel. A
differential allows the wheels to turn at different
speeds and take a corner more quickly.

Without a differential, on a high grip surface, the
inside wheel will lose traction and cause you to
spin-out. This effect is less noticeable on loose
surfaces, however a well setup differential will
make the car easier to drive and give more
predictable handling at speed.

The differential is filled with silicone oil and the
thickness of this alters the operation of the
differential unit. As standard, your differential
is designed to provide safe, fun handling ­for advice on which oil to use please visit the
forums at GOFORIT-RC.com
