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.

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 RC 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. 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.

After disassembling the gear diff the large O-ring may have an increased size and may be more difficult to re-install. We recommend either inserting the old O-ring carefully in the diff cover, or replacing the old O-ring with a new O-ring if the old one cannot be made to fit properly.
Fill differential up to the top of the diff pin.
DO NOT fill the diff to the top of the housing.
TO ENSURE YOU HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF OIL FROM REBUILD TO REBUILD, DO THE FOLLOWING:
NOTE
SOFTER oil increases rear traction, HARDER oil increases on-power steering and stability. It is important not to use soft oils in high-traction conditions as this would not increase traction, but would make the car loose as the car would become too twitchy.
However, if the oil is too soft, it could generate the same effect like the car has no traction. Therefore it is very important to choose the correct oil very carefully. We recommend using softer oil first, then try harder oil to better understand the effect on the car’s behavior at the track. Choose the oil accordingly.
TIPS FOR FRONT DIFFERENTIAL
To increase on-power steering and cornering speed, the gear diff can also be used in the front. NOTE: If you use the gear diff in the front, we recommend using optional #304971 HUDY Spring Steel™ outdrives because the stress on the outdrives in the front is much higher than in the rear.
USE THESE OILS FOR FRONT DIFFERENTIAL

To make the front differential tighter, you can use cleaning gum instead of oil.
IMPORTANT! Using cleaning gum instead of oil in the gear differential can lead to gear breakage because the gears are working under dry conditions.

Put the diff (without oil) on the scale and check the
weight (approximately 7.90g)
Slowly pour oil into the diff and watch the weight. Add 1.5g of oil
into the diff. The approximate weight of the diff including oil is 9.40g.
7.9g + 1.5g = 9.4g

low-traction conditions, however generates more on-power push. Recommended for low
and medium traction conditions.
When the aluminum top deck mount is used, the screws from layshaft bulkheads and M3 nut from motor holder must be removed (page 10/ step 1).

Smart chassis flex adjustment via graphite steering plate which can be mounted with an additional aluminum stand. Using only the graphite steering plate, chassis flex is medium; using the aluminum stand for reinforcement, the flex becomes stiffer. Stiffer flex results in more aggressive handling and increased steering.
Do not use the layshaft screws for initial setting.
If the layshaft screws on the top deck are used, it is necessary to use also 3x6x1 shims under the top deck to connect top deck with layshaft bulkheads.

Longer drive shafts (52mm) make the car easier to drive because they give more traction and better stability, mainly in chicanes. However, the car will understeer more than with shorter (50mm) shafts which give a lot of steering and make the car more aggressive. Both left & right shafts should ALWAYS be the same length at one end of the car (front or rear).
52mm shafts are recommended for carpet high-traction tracks. 51mm shafts are recommended for carpet tracks and large asphalt tracks. 50mm shafts are recommended for low-traction or tight asphalt tracks.
The new 51mm drive shafts which are included in the kit are the best compromise between 50 and 52mm length.

The angle of the ARS linkage – which is made by adding/ removing shims on the steering block and ARS post mount – changes the toe-in characteristics of the rear tires under rolling effect; when the car is pressed the toe-in can either increase or decrease. Check the toe-in change on your set-up system when the car is in neutral position and when is pressed down. For more information see the HUDY Set-up Book.

INITIAL SETTING = MIDDLE BALL
Use the OUTER ball on high-traction tracks (mainly high-traction asphalt tracks). The car will roll even less which will allow the use of more throttle in the corners, however the car will have less traction.
Use the MIDDLE ball on low- to medium­traction tracks (asphalt, carpet). The car will have a little less rear traction and the car will roll a little less which will make it easier to drive with more cornering speed.
Use the INNER ball on low-traction tracks (mainly low-traction carpet tracks). The car will have more traction & more steering, but will be more difficult to drive because the car will roll more.

INCORRECT
Fully extend the piston rod so the piston is at the bottom of the shock body.
Hold the shock upright and slightly overfill the shock body with shock oil.
Let the oil settle and allow air bubbles to rise to the top. Slowly move the piston up and down to allow oil into all cavities within the shock body.
Extend the piston rod most of the way out of the shock body. Let the shock rest for 5 minutes to allow the air bubbles to escape.
Add shock oil as necessary.

100%

AFTER THE SHOCK IS ASSEMBLED YOU HAVE TO SET THE SHOCK REBOUND:
Release the shock cap by 2-3 turns.
Push the shock shaft fully up. For the first time the extra oil will release through the hole in the alu cap-nut.
Tighten the shock cup. When tightening the shock cap, extra oil will again release through the hole in the alu cap - nut. When tightening, the shock shaft will push out from the shock body.
SHOCK LENGTH ADJUSTMENT:
It is VERY IMPORTANT that all shocks are equal length.
Fully extend the shock absorber and measure the end-to-end 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.
REBOUND CHECK:
It is very important to push the shock shaft into the shock body slowly otherwise air can come into the shock body which would create bubles.
100% rebound - do not do step 1 and 3 75% rebound - repeat step 1 and 3 until the shock shaft will push out 75% of its length 50% rebound - repeat step 1 and 3 until the shock shaft will push out 50% of its length 25% rebound - repeat step 1 and 3 until the shock shaft will push out 25% of its length 0% rebound - repeat step 1 and 3 until the shock shaft will push out 0% of its length
If the shock shaft does not rebound enough, you will have to refill the shock with shock oil, and then repeat the bleeding and rebound adjustment procedure.
When installing the shock cap assembly on the shock body, some oil will leak out... this is normal.
Tighten the cap and clean off any excess oil.
After the shock is assembled, the shock rod will push itself out of the shock body fairly quickly.
Follow the next procedure to adjust the rebound.

is, better steering response and more in-corner steering is generated.
Attach the graphite reinforcement plate from the top so the chassis stays independent from inline chassis flex.
INITIAL SETTING
Attach the graphite reinforcement plate from the bottom so the chassis is now part of the inline chassis flex.
Attach the graphite reinforcement plate from the bottom so the chassis is now part of the inline chassis flex and use also extra holes between the servo holder and motor mount for even extra reinforcement
Use the linkage - mounted from the top - for inline chassis reinforcement. By using the linkage, the chassis stays stiff in the inline direction, but flexes to the sides.

FLOATING STEERING ARM MOUNTING
Floating steering mounting system makes the car easier to drive over curbs and on bumpy tracks. Helps prevent oversteer.
STANDARD STEERING ARM MOUNTING
(INITIAL SETTING)
ALTERNATIVE 1
Standard steering mounting system provides maximum steering response and makes the car more precise.
For improved weight balance and for more space for electronics, we recommend using a narrow, light servo.
90°
NOTE: The floating steering arms are mounted in the Steering page 17/step 2.

7. FINAL ASSEMBLY
When adjusting steering on the radio, we recommend using full steering adjustment in order to get the best steering from the car. It is important to verify that the steering block does not touch the C-hub; that would lead to chassis tweak due to extra servo strain.
IMPORTANT!

DETAIL
Attach servo arm to servo output shaft using screw from servo. Servo saver must be perpendicular to chassis when servo is in neutral.

Feed the receiver wire into the antenna tube
NOTE: In case the antenna tube does not hold the antenna properly, apply a small drop of the CA glue to the outside end of the antenna tube while inserting it into the holder. Make sure not to apply glue to the inside of the antenna tube, or the antenna wire may get permanently stuck.

Some motors do not have a chamfer on the motor housing. If your motor does not have a chamfer on the housing and you want to use a small pinion, the motor may touch the top deck. Use a moto-tool with grinding bit or file to remove material from the top-deck; this will allow the motor to be moved closer to the spur gear.
