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.

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 short­circuit 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!

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.

DIFFERENTIAL OIL
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:
➊ Put the diff (without oil) on the scale and check the
weight (approximately 11.23g)
➋ Slowly pour oil into the diff and watch the weight. Add
0.95g of oil into the diff. The approximate weight of the diff including oil is 12.18g.
LOW-MEDIUM TRACTION 3 000cSt (HUDY #106430) MEDIUM-HIGH TRACTION 5 000cSt (HUDY #106450)
NOTE: Softer oil increases rear traction, harder oil increases on-power steering.

USE PROPER AMOUNT OF OIL IN THE DIFFS
Use a digital scale to measure the exact amount of oil in the diff. Remember that during operation the diff gets hotter and the heat may allow the oil to expand. If there is too much oil inside it may interfere with the diff operation and damage the internal gears.

Tighten the screws equally but do NOT
tighten them completely.
Finish tightening in this order.
