IMPORTANT NOTES – GENERAL

• This product is not suitable for children under 16 years of age without the direct supervision of a responsible and knowledgeable adult.

• Carefully read all manufacturers warnings and cautions for any parts used in the construction and use of your model.

• Assemble this kit only in places away from the reach of very small children.

• First-time builders and users should seek advice from people who have building experience in order to assemble the model correctly and to allow the model to reach its performance potential.

• Exercise care when using tools and sharp instruments.

• Take care when building, as some parts may have sharp edges.

• Keep small parts out of reach of small children. Children must not be allowed to put any parts in their mouth, or pull vinyl bag over their head.

• Read and follow instructions supplied with paints and/or cement, if used (not included in kit).

• Immediately after using your model, do NOT touch equipment on the model such as the motor and speed controller, because they generate high temperatures. You may seriously burn yourself seriously touching them.

• Follow the operating instructions for the radio equipment at all times.

• Do not put ﬁ ngers or any objects inside rotating and moving parts, as this may cause damage or serious injury as your ﬁ nger, hair, clothes, etc. may get caught.

• Be sure that your operating frequency is clear before turning on or running your model, and never share the same frequency with somebody else at the same time. Ensure that others are aware of the operating frequency you are using and when you are using it.

• Use a transmitter designed for ground use with RC cars. Make sure that no one else is using the same frequency as yours in your operating area. Using the same frequency at the same time, whether it is driving, ﬂ ying or sailing, can cause loss of control of the RC model, resulting in a serious accident.

• Always turn on your transmitter before you turn on the receiver in the car. Always turn off the receiver before turning your transmitter off.

• Keep the wheels of the model off the ground when checking the operation of the radio equipment.

• Disconnect the battery pack before storing your model.

• When learning to operate your model, go to an area that has no obstacles that can damage your model if your model suffers a collision.

• Remove any sand, mud, dirt, grass or water before putting your model away.

• If the model behaves strangely, immediately stop the model, check and clear the problem.

• To prevent any serious personal injury and/or damage to property, be responsible when operating all remote controlled models.

• The model car is not intended for use on public places and roads or areas where its operation can conﬂ ict with or disrupt pedestrian or vehicular trafﬁ c.

• Because the model car is controlled by radio, it is subject to radio interference from many sources that are beyond your control. Since radio interference can cause momentary loss of control, always allow a safety margin in all directions around the model in order to prevent collisions.

• Do not use your model:

- Near real cars, animals, or people that are unaware that an RC car is being driven.

- In places where children and people gather

- In residential districts and parks

- In limited indoor spaces

- In wet conditions

- In the street

- In areas where loud noises can disturb others, such as hospitals and residential areas.

- At night or anytime your line of sight to the model may be obstructed or impaired in any way.

To prevent any serious personal injury and/or damage to property, please be responsible when operating all remote controlled models.

Failure to follow these instructions will be considered as abuse and/or neglect.

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 ﬁ re. 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 shortcircuits, approximately 300W of electricity can be discharged, leading to ﬁ re 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 ﬁ re. 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 rectiﬁ ed 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 ﬁ nished.

• 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 ﬁ re.

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.

STANDARD ONE-WAY SOLID ONE-WAY FULL-TIME SOLID AXLE

Outdrive shafts (left and right) are not connected to each other, nor to front main axle.

Off-power: Outdrive shafts rotate forward independently of each other and front main axle.

On-power: Both outdrive shafts rotate with front main axle (locked in one-way bearings)

Best used when... traction is high, the car leans towards off-power understeer and the track does not require braking for the corners. Will give maximum off-power steering and increase efficiency (more runtime). Best suited to a smooth driving style.

Both outdrive shafts (left and right) are connected together by internal locking axle, but are not connected to front main axle.

Off-power: Both connected outdrive shafts rotate forward together (but independent of front main axle).

On-power: Both outdrive shafts rotate with front main axle (locked in one-way bearings).

Best used when... traction is medium to high and the track does not require braking for the corners. Will give good offpower steering and efficiency.

Both outdrive shafts (left and right) are connected to front main axle by internal locking axle and locking pin.

Off-power and on-power: Both outdrive shafts rotate with front main axle.

Best used when... traction is low to medium, the car leans towards off-power oversteer and/or the track requires braking for the corners. Will give less off-power steering and efficiency (less runtime). Best suited to an aggressive driving style.

DO NOT TIGHTEN THE DIFF COMPLETELY THE DIFF MUST BE BROKEN IN PROPERLY !

IMPORTANT: When you build the differential, do not tighten it fully initially; the differential needs to be broken in properly. When you build the diff tighten it very gently. When you put the diff in the car and complete the assembly, run the car for a few minutes, tighten the diff a little bit, and then recheck the diff. Repeat this process several times until you have the diff tightened to the point you want it. Final adjustments should ALWAYS be made with the diff in the car and on the track.

Apply one-way lube

In case of excessive play use composite shims included in the Last Aid bag.

Properly functioning shocks are very important to the performance of your car. This XRAY shock set contains parts to build four externally-adjustable or non-adjustable shocks. Both adjustable and non-adjustable shocks feature XRAY's unique keying system that positively locks the pistons to the shock rods. Carefully cut the parts from the frames, and then VERY carefully trim any excess flash with a sharp hobby knife. We recommend you use extra-fine sandpaper to gently smooth small flashing. The side walls of the pistons must be perfectly round and smooth for proper operation.

We recommend you build all four shocks simultaneously. Ensure you have a clean work area to build the shocks.

Assemble FOUR adjustable shock rod assemblies by performing the following steps.

1. Press a #965023 (C 2.3) E-clip into the lower groove in the shock rod.

2. Place a #961032 (S 3.2) washer onto the shock rod atop the C-clip.

3. Press the piston assembly onto the shock rod, aligning flat in pistons

with flat on the shock rod.

4. Press a #965019 (C 1.9) E-clip into the upper groove in the shock rod.

5. Apply a drop or two of shock oil to the piston rod assembly,

and then insert the shock rod assembly into the shock body.

1. Lubricate the inner edge of a #970121 (O12.1x1.6) O-ring with a drop or two of shock oil. Insert it into the groove of a #308040 threaded collar.

2. Carefully thread the collar onto the shock body as shown.

Be careful not to cross-thread the collar on the shock body.

Assemble FOUR non-adjustable piston rod assemblies by performing the following steps. Use the 3-hole non-adjustable pistons.

1. Press a #965023 (C 2.3) E-clip into the lower groove in the shock rod.

2. Press a 3-hole piston onto the shock rod, aligning flat in piston with flat on the shock rod.

3. Press a #965019 (C 1.9) E-clip into the upper groove of the shock rod.

4. Apply a drop or two of shock oil to the piston rod assembly, and then insert the shock rod assembly

1. Insert the larger #970050 (O 5x1) O-ring onto the shock body,

until it seats around the shock body extension.

2. Lubricate the small #971031 (O 3.1x1.6) O-ring with a drop or two of shock oil. Taking care not to rip or damage the O-ring, slide it over the end of the shock rod.

3. Install the end-cap onto the bottom of the shock body. Lock it in

place by pressing it on, then turning it CW about 1/8 of a turn.

For easy assembly, use a #183010 HUDY Shock Assembly Tool.

Shock bleeding:

Turn the shock upside down and pull the shock rod out to full extension. Release the shock end-cap by turning it CCW and pulling it slightly away from the shock body. Let the shock “vent” for at least 10 minutes; excess oil should seep out the end of the shock body. If the shock rod doesn’t retract slightly into the shock body, push it in by 1~2mm. Replace the end-cap.

Check the shock for proper operation. The shock rod must move in and out freely with only “hydraulic” dampening. The shock rod should not extend out fully (rebound) by itself when pushed in and released, nor should it be drawn into the shock body fully when extended and released. It is normal to have anywhere from 25% to 75% of rebound. If it extends out more than 75% repeat the bleeding procedure and let the shock sit for a few more minutes. Make sure that all four shocks have very similar natural rebound.

Shock length adjustment:

It is VERY important that all shocks are equal length. Fully extend the shock absorber and measure the end-toend length; we recommend using digital calipers to give an accurate measurement. If a shock absorber is shorter or longer than others, adjust the shock length by tightening or loosening the ball joint on the shock rod.

Damping adjustment:

If you built the adjustable shocks, fully extend the shock rod and turn it slightly to lock the piston in the shock body.

Turning the shock rod fully CCW aligns 4 holes in the pistons (softest damping). Turning the shock rod fully CW aligns 1 hole in the pistons (hardest damping). The shocks have four settings, each of which can be felt by a slight "click".

Set all four shocks initially to position 3 (3 holes open).

1. Fully extend the piston rod so the piston is at the bottom of the shock body.

2. Hold the shock upright and slightly overfill the shock body with shock oil.

3. Let the oil settle and allow air bubbles to rise to the top. Slowly move

thepiston up and down until no more air bubbles appear.

Add shock oil as necessary.

4. Pull the piston rod most of the way out of the shock body.

5. Place the rubber bladder on top of the shock body from a side. Some oil

should spill out.

6. Move the piston out very slightly so the bladder seals against the top of the

shock body.

HINT: Pre-thread the ball joint using an M3 screw.

WARNING! Be careful not to pre-thread too far, since the ball joint may split or the plastic threads may strip out
