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. 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.

DETAIL

The axle must have a VERY small amount of side play. If there is no side play, the axle may bind and damage the ball-bearings.

IMPORTANT

Use additional shims to widen the rear track-width. Use the same shims on both sides. For initial assembly use 6.4x8.4x1mm shims.

This nut affects the tightness and stiffness of the rear differential. Tighten the nut gently so the diff does not slip under power, but do not overtighten or the diff balls and/or plates may be damaged.

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 until no more air bubbles appear. Add shock oil as necessary.

Pull 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.
