IMPORTANT NOTES – ELECTRICAL

• Insulate any exposed electrical wiring (using heat shrink tubing or electrical tape) to prevent dangerous short circuits. Take maximum care in wiring, connecting and insulating cables. Make sure cables are always connected securely. Check connectors for if they become loose. And if so, reconnect them securely. Never use R/C models with damaged wires. A damaged wire is extremely dangerous, and can cause short-circuits resulting in fire. Please have wires repaired at your local hobby shop.

• Low battery power will result in loss of control. Loss of control can occur due to a weak battery in either the transmitter or the receiver. Weak running battery may also result in an out of control car if your car‘s receiver power is supplied by the running battery. Stop operation immediately if the car starts to slow down.

• When not using RC model, always disconnect and remove battery.

• Do not disassemble battery or cut battery cables. If the running battery short-circuits, approximately 300W of electricity can be discharged, leading to fire or burns. Never disassemble battery or cut battery cables.

• Use a recommended charger for the receiver and transmitter batteries and follow the instructions

correctly. Over-charging, incorrect charging, or using inferior chargers can cause the batteries to become dangerously hot. Recharge battery when necessary. Continual recharging may damage battery and, in the worst case, could build up heat leading to fire. If battery becomes extremely hot during recharging, please ask your local hobby shop for check and/or repair and/or replacement.

• Regularly check the charger for potential hazards such as damage to the cable, plug, casing or other defects. Ensure that any damage is rectified before using the charger again. Modifying the charger may cause short-circuit or overcharging leading to a serious accident. Therefore do not modify the charger.

• Always unplug charger when recharging is finished.

• Do not recharge battery while battery is still warm. After use, battery retains heat. Wait until it cools down before charging.

• Do not allow any metal part to short circuit the receiver batteries or other electrical/electronic device on the model.

• Immediately stop running if your RC model gets wet as may cause short circuit.

• Please dispose of batteries responsibly. Never put batteries into fire.

QUALITY CERTIFICATE

XRAY MODEL RACING CARS uses only the highest quality materials, the best compounds for molded parts and the most sophisticated manufacturing processes of TQM (Total Quality Management). We guarantee that all parts of a newly-purchased kit are manufactured with the highest regard to quality. However, due to the many factors inherent in model racecar competition, we cannot guarantee any parts once you start racing the car. Products which have been worn out, abused, neglected or improperly operated will not be covered under warranty. We wish you enjoyment of this high-quality and high-performance RC car and wish you best success on the track!

Please note that raw materials such as aluminum, steel, brass, fibreglass, or carbon fibre may have small scratches on the surface which is a standard characteristic of any raw material. Scratches on the surface of any materials are NOT considered to be material defects.

Products may potentially have small amounts of corrosion on them. This may be caused by variances in weather during different times of the year, humidity in the shop or during shipping, and other contributing factors. Even though we have taken all precautions and protection methods to prevent corrosion, these small amounts of corrosion (if present) are unavoidable and considered to be acceptable.

In line with our policy of continuous product development, the exact specifications of the kit may vary. In the unlikely event of any problems with your new kit, you should contact the model shop where you purchased it, quoting the part number. We do reserve all rights to change any specification without prior notice. All rights reserved.

R/C & BUILDING TIPS

• Make sure all fasteners are properly tightened. Check them periodically.

• Make sure that chassis screws do not protrude from the chassis.

•

For the best performance, it is very important that great care is taken to ensure the free movement of all parts.

• Clean all ball-bearings so they move very easily and freely.

• Tap or pre-thread the plastic parts when threading screws.

• Self-tapping screws cut threads into the parts when being tightened. Do not use excessive force when tightening the self-tapping screws because you may strip out the thread in the plastic. We recommended you stop tightening a screw when you feel some resistance.

•

Ask your local hobby shop for any advice.

Please support your local hobby shop. We at XRAY Model Racing Cars support all local hobby dealers. Therefore we ask you, if at all possible, to purchase XRAY products at your hobby dealer and give them your support like we do. If you have difficulty finding XRAY products, please check out www.teamxray.com to get advice, or contact us via email at info@teamxray.com, or contact the XRAY distributor in your country.

IMPORTANT NOTES – NITRO FUEL

• Handle fuel only outdoors. Never handle nitro fuel indoors, or mix nitro fuel in a place where ventilation is bad.

• Only use nitro fuel for R/C models. Do not use gasoline or kerosene in R/C models as it may cause a fire or explosion, and ruin your engine.

• Nitro fuel is highly inflammable, explosive, and poisonous. Never use fuel indoors or in places with open fires and sources of heat.

• Always keep the fuel container cap tightly shut.

• Always read the warning label on the fuel container for safety information.

• Nitro-powered model engines emit poisonous vapors and gasses. These vapors irritate eyes and can be highly dangerous to your health. We recommend wearing rubber or vinyl gloves to avoid direct contact with nitro fuel.

• Nitro fuel for RC model cars is made of the combination of the methyl alcohol, castor or synthetic oil,

nitro methane etc. The flammability and volatility of these elements is very high, so be very careful during handling and storage of nitro fuel.

•

Keep nitro fuel away from open flame, sources of heat, direct sunlight, high temperatures, or near

batteries.

•

Store fuel in a cool, dry, dark, well-ventilated place, away from heating devices, open flames, direct

sunlight, or batteries. Keep nitro fuel away from children.

• Do not leave the fuel in the carburetor or fuel tank when the model is not in use. There is danger that the fuel may leak out.

•

Wipe up any spilled fuel with a cloth

• Be aware of spilled or leaking fuel. Fuel leaks can cause fires or explosions.

• Do not dispose of fuel or empty fuel containers in a fire. There is danger of explosion.

XB8 TECH TIPS

If there is too much or too little diff side play, this may create non-optimal gear mesh between the diff gear and the pinion drive gear. This is easily resolved by inserting 1 or 2 of the included thin shims behind a diff

outdrive ball-bearing, depending on how much play there is.

FRONT & REAR DIFF GEAR MESH ADJUSTMENT

THE LOCATION OF THE SHIM(S) DEPENDS ON WHETHER YOU ARE TRYING TO CLOSE OR OPEN THE GAP:

TO CLOSE A WIDE GAP

TO OPEN A NARROW GAP

TIP

insert shim(s) here

To CLOSE a wide gap: add 1 or 2 shims against diff spur gear

To OPEN a narrow gap: add 1 or 2 shims on the other side of the diff, away from spur gear

The finished joint. Loosen and remove screw.

INSTALLING PIVOT BALLS INTO COMPOSITE BALL-JOINTS

Place the pivot ball on the ball joint and use a screw to tighten it to an engine mount or some other part.

DRIVE SHAFT PIN SERVICING

TIP

To enjoy the longest possible lifespan of the drive shafts and diff outdrives, it is extremely important to properly service the drive shaft pins. Inspect the pins after every 3 hours of runtime. If the pins show any wear, replace them with new pins.

For easy drive pin replacements use #106000 HUDY Drive Pin Replacement Tool.

To replace the worn pins use only premium HUDY drive pins #106050.

Do not use drive shafts when the pins are worn.

Press out the worn pins.

Press in new pins and regularly inspect for wear.

SUSPENSION & DRIVETRAIN MAINTENANCE

• Check suspension for free movement during building and operation, and especially after running and if you have crashed the car. If the suspension does not move freely, use the appropriate HUDY Arm Reamer to clean and resize the holes of the suspension arms.

• Regularly check the drive shaft pins (both side and center) and if they show any wear must be immediately replaced by new pins. If the car is run with worn pins, excessive wear on the diff outdrives will result. The 106000 HUDY Drive Pin Replacement Tool (for 3mm Pins) is a compact, rugged multi-use tool set for replacing 3mm drive pins in drive shafts. Use the HUDY replacement drive shaft pins 3x14 (#106050).

• Regularly inspect and replace the connecting pins which connect the center drive shafts with the pinion gear, and also the pins that connect the wheel drive shafts with wheel axles. Use HUDY Graphite Grease to lubricate the drive shaft connecting joints and the diff gears.

• Pivot balls and ball-joints will naturally wear for some time and will generate play. If there is too much play the pivot balls and ball joints need to be replaced.

• If the car is run in wet conditions, apply WD-40® on all drivetrain parts before the run. After the run, clean and dry the parts again.

HUDY SPRING STEEL™

The HUDY Spring Steel™ used in the car is the strongest and most durable steel material on the RC market. While items made from HUDY Spring Steel™ are still subject to wear, the lifespan is considerably longer than any other material. As parts made from HUDY Spring Steel™ wear, the brown color will after some time “go down” but it will not affect the strength of the material. The brown color is only a surface treatment and if the brown color will wear the durability of the part will be still strong.

To ensure you have the same amount of oil from rebuild to rebuild, do the following:

1. Put the diff (without oil) on the scale and check the weight:

- FRONT DIFF approx. 39.94g

- REAR DIFF approx. 39.94g

2. Slowly pour oil into the diff and watch the weight. The approximate weight of the diff+oil is REAR DIFF approx. 42.30g and FRONT DIFF approx.

ORIENTATION

LONG CVD DRIVE SHAFT

Cut on both front and rear bulkhead blocks

BEFORE inserting the clip on the central CVD shaft joint, apply a small amount of threadlock on the area where the clip goes.

AFTER inserting the clip on the central CVD shaft joint, turn the clip so that the slot is 90°from the pin. This will prevent the pin from opening the clip.

Follow the TECH TIP on page 5 for drive shaft pin servicing.

DETAIL

The new XRAY rear alu lower suspension holders provide even greater range of adjustment for the rear suspension. Using different combinations of eccentric bushings, fine adjustment of rear anti- squat, rear toe-in, rear roll center, and rear track-width can be obtained. For more information about the influence of rear anti-squat, rear toe-in, rear roll center and rear track width on car handling, please refer to HUDY Off-Road Set-up Book (#209099).

The tables describe the amounts of rear anti-squat, rear toe-in, rear track-width change depending on the combinations of eccentric bushings used with 0 and 1mm, 1° off set. The 0.5mm, 0.5° represent the half change.

Example:

0(RR) - 0 (RF) = 3°

0(RR) - 0.5 (RF) = 3.5°

0(RR) - 1 (RF) = 4°

Tube holders are easily connected to the fuel tank by screws. Using screws is much more secure than using glue to attach the holders to the fuel tank.

The larger insert decreases the fuel tank volume by 2cc,

and is recommended for use when the fuel ﬁlter is used.

The smaller insert decreases the fuel tank volume by 1cc.

1CC FUEL TANK INSERT2CC FUEL TANK INSERT

The fuel tank has the larger fuel volume and includes OPTIONAL tank inserts for decreasing the volume of the tank. Using the inserts allows you to adjust the volume of fuel inside the tank; this works in conjunction with variables such as fuel ﬁlter capacity and/or length of fuel line to ensure you have the legal fuel volume limit for racing.

There are two different thickness shims, use them as shown. Use the same procedure when building both front and rear shocks.

CORRECT

TIGHTEN GENTLY

The self-locking nut is gently tightened. The piston remains undistorted and fits inside the shock body perfectly, ensuring smooth movement of the piston.

INCORRECT

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN

The self-locking nut is overtightened, causing distortion of the piston. This will negatively affect the free movement of the piston in the shock body.

• Never modify the engine or muffler.

• Confirm the position of needle and idling before running. Be sure to run a new engine smoothly.

• Make sure the air filter is clean and oiled.

• Never run your engine without an air filter. Your engine can be seriously damaged if dirt and debris get inside the engine.

• For proper engine break-in, please refer to the manual that came with the engine.

• The engine may not start or run properly if the air filter is dirty, or choked with sand and dust.

• If the fuel pipe is choked or deteriorates, the engine may not start, and there is danger that fuel will leak out.

1. Make sure the transmitter and receiver batteries are fully charged.

Make sure that your transmitter and receiver are both on the same frequency. If you have a

transmitter with multiple model memory, make sure you have selected the proper profile for your car.

3. Put the car on the starter box and keep the tires from touching the ground.

4. Turn on the transmitter.

5. Turn on the receiver in the car.

6. Make sure the steering servo and engine servos work normally and adjust them correctly.

7. Put fuel in the fuel tank, and close the cap securely.

8. Apply the glow igniter to the engine glowplug.

9. Push the model car onto the starter box to start the engine. (If the engine is new, follow the instruction manual and be sure to break in the new engine properly).

10. When the engine has started, remove the glow igniter.

11. Follow your engine break-in procedure and tune the engine as appropriate.

STARTING AND RUNNING THE ENGINE Be sure to observe the following starting process. Failure to do so may cause the model car to start suddenly, which may lead to damage or unexpected accidents.

STOPPING THE ENGINE Before you stop the engine, try to make sure the engine is at idle first. There are several ways to stop the engine:

•

Use a rag to cover the exhaust tip. Be careful! The exhaust is extremely hot so use a thick rag and gloves.

• Pinch the fuel tubing to stop the flow of fuel to the carb. Be careful, this can make the motor run lean which can damage the motor.

• Put your hand over the air filter, or squeeze the air filter element to block the airflow.

• Press an object (such as a screwdriver handle or shoe) against the rotating flywheel to stop its rotation. Be very careful, and do not stick your hand or fingers near the rotating flywheel.

FINISHING OPERATIONS

1. Stop the engine.

2. Turn off the receiver in the car

3. Turn off the transmitter.

MAINTENANCE AFTER RUNNING Take proper care of your car after running to keep it performing well, and take notice of any damage and wear.

1. Do not leave fuel in the tank.

2. Go outside to drain any residual fuel from the exhaust pipe.

3. Clean the car and remove all sand, mud, and other debris.

4. Use after-run oil in your engine after you have finished running for the day.

• For club racing, it is recommended to check the shocks for air inside before each race and only re-fill and bleed them if necessary. Before each race day, make sure you take the spring off of each shock, hold it up to your ear, and quickly compress the shock rod fully into the body while listening for any air making a “whistling” or “squishy ” sound as it passes through the piston holes. If you hear any air, refill and bleed your shocks. For high-competition racing, it is recommended that the shocks be re-filled and bled before a large event.

• If building or pairing new shocks, always make sure they are the same length using a shock length measuring tool and adjust the lower ball joints as needed.

• If installing new rubber bladders, carefully trim the thin excess rubber from the edges of their lips. Curved body scissors work the best.

• Regularly inspect the amount of dirt on the felt protector in the shocks (if present) and regularly replace with a new one.

• During regular shock operation, oil naturally gets on the shock shaft and drop-by-drop slightly gets out of the shock body. Shocks should be inspected regularly after each race, and oil replaced as required.

1. Remove the seals on both sides of the bearing (if present). If the seals bend a little and you can see a kink, carefully flatten the kink out by hand.

2. Spray the seals with motor cleaner and blow dry with compressed air.

3. Spray the bearing on both sides with motor cleaner.

4. Spin the bearing while it is still wet to dislodge any particles with the cleaner.

5. Spray the bearing on both sides again.

6. Blow both sides of the bearing dry with compressed air to make sure particles come out.

7. Hold the inner part of the bearing with my left thumb/forefinger and spin it to make sure it spins free without any abnormal vibrations or sounds.

8. Place one drop of bearing oil into each side of the bearing.

9. Replace both seals at the same time by lining them up on each side of the bearing and lightly pressing them in all the way around the bearings circumference with your thumb and forefinger. Do not press too hard or use any type of tool, such as a wrench tip, to push the blue seals in as they will push in too far, bend and cause drag.

If you spin test the bearing after you have re-oiled and sealed it, it will not spin freely for an extended period of time. The lightest of oils may allow it to spin for 1-2 seconds. This is normal and once you have mounted the bearings in the car again, the drive train will spin freely.

Make sure you use a motor cleaner that does not leave a residue after it dries as this may cause drag and wear in the bearings.

ENGINE OPERATION

PREPARING TO OPERATE THE ENGINE

SHOCK MAINTENANCE

The most important maintenance task for keeping consistent shock performance is refilling and bleeding them correctly. If built correctly, it will not be necessary to re-build them often. Replacing warped/hard rubber bladders and o-rings, scarred piston rods, or shaved/split/loose composite upper and lower ball joints are also important.

BEARING MAINTENANCE

Ball-bearings in an off-road car or truggy must be properly maintained for smooth operation and long lifespan.

Typically, the ball-bearings included in new cars are greased for highest lifespan and as such the drivetrain may not seem to be as free as with lightly-oiled ball-bearings. However, when the car is run the ballbearings will become more free and the drivetrain will become very efficient.

There are several types of bearings discussed here: bearings which already come greased from the factory, bearings which must be lubricated using the HUDY Bearing Grease, and then there are also bearings in the steering system which need to be lubricated with HUDY Bearing Oil.

The following procedures are recommended to clean all of the bearings in your off-road car or truggy. For high-competition racing, we recommended doing this every 3-4 weeks, or before a major race.

MAINTENANCE
