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
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,
R/C & BUILDING TIPS
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.
• 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.

TIP
DRIVE SHAFT PIN SERVICING
To enjoy the longest possible lifespan of the drive shafts and diff outdrives, it is extremely important to properly service the drive shaft pins.
Inspect the pins after every 3 hours of runtime. If the pins show any wear, replace them with new pins.
Do not use drive shafts
when the pins are worn.
TIP
GRAPHITE PARTS PREPARATION
Follow this Tech Tip to prepare the graphite parts. Sand the edges with sandpaper, and then seal the edges with CA glue to reinforce them and help prevent delamination.
Prepare all XT4 Graphite Parts:
• Front shock tower
• Rear shock tower
Press out the worn pins.
Press in new pins and
regularly inspect for wear.
Fine sandpaper
Use fine sandpaper to
sand smooth the edges of
all graphite parts.
For quick & easy drive pin replacements use
#106000 HUDY Drive Pin Replacement Tool
together with #106036 Ejector Pivot Pin &
Alternating Pivot 2.5mm.
Apply CA glue to all edges
of the graphite parts.
To replace the worn pins use only
premium HUDY drive pins

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
