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 fingers or any objects inside rotating and moving parts, as this may cause damage or serious injury as your finger, 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, flying 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 conflict with or disrupt pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
• 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 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 short­circuits, 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.

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.

KIT
The XRAY T2’007 comes partially pre-assembled. Before starting assembly, disassemble the chassis parts, noting the position and orientation of the parts, particularly the bulkheads. Keep the parts, including the screw hardware, close at hand. In the assembly steps that follow, each section begins with a parts list. Parts indicated with STYLE B are from the previously disassembled chassis parts in section 0.
CA
At the beginning of each section is an exploded view of the parts to be assembled. There is also a list of all the parts and part numbers that are related to the assembly of that section.
The part descriptions are color-coded to make it easier for you to identify the source of a part. Here are what the different colors mean:
STYLE A - indicates parts that are included in the bag marked for the section.
STYLE B - indicates parts that were set aside in Section 0.
STYLE C - indicates parts that are already assembled from previous steps.

COLOR INDICATIONS
CORRECT
INCORRECT
Lightly file edges of battery slots to remove sharp edges. Please note that the US Foam-Spec 3.5mm Extra-Thick Chassis requires the battery slots to be filed more than the standard 2.5mm thick chassis.
Do not file battery slots too much, or batteries may protrude below the chassis bottom.
To protect and seal edges of graphite parts, sand edges smooth and then apply CA glue.
Do this for: chassis edges; filed battery slots, countersunk holes for front bumper screws.
For the US extra-thick chassis, we recommend rounding the bottom forward edge of the chassis (using a file or sandpaper).

Apply only a bit of CA glue on the countersunk holes

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.
