GENERALPRECAUTIONS
•Many of the items in this kit are small enough to be accidentally swallowed and are therefore potential choking hazards, making them potentially fatal.
Please ensure that when assembling the kit you do so out of the reach of small/young children.
•Take care when building, as some parts may have sharp edges.
•Please read this manual carefully to understand which ancillary items (tools, electrics, electronics etc) are used with this kit.
Awesomatix Innovations LLP accept no responsibility for the operation of any such ancillary items.
Exercise care when using tools and sharp instruments.
• Follow the operating instructions for the radio equipment at all times.
•
• Never touch rotating parts of the car as this may cause injury.
Keepthe wheels of themodelofftheground when checking the operation of the radio equipment.
• 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 roads or areas where its operation can conflict with or disrupt pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
•
• Do not run your car in poor light or if it goes out of sight. Any impairment to your vision may result in damage to your car or, worse, injury to others
or their property.
• As a radio controlled device, your car is subject to radio interference from things beyond your control. Any such interference may cause a loss of
control of your car so please consider this possibility at all times.
When not using RC model, always disconnect and remove battery.
• Insulate any exposed electrical wiring 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.
ASSEMBLYNOTES
Before starting each build-stage check that you have the right quantity and size of items for the build-stage. To assist you with
the assembly of your A700 Evo II car we have included full-size images of all the small hardware parts laid out so that you can
place items on top of the images to check they are the correct size/length. You can find the useful tips and pictures of A700 Evo II

Rebuildable Damper Set
AT40-1
Note:Every A700 EvoII and A700 EvoIICkit includesfour factoryassembled and oil filled D2.1Rebuildable Dampers.
D2.1damper allows for both dampening adjustment via thicker silicon oil, and consistent performance since the racer can
rebuild the shock.
The factoryassembled and oil filled D2.1Rebuildable Dampers come with 500 cst pure silicone oil inside.
The build instructions for D2.1Rebuildable Dampers is on this page.
For disassembling please do all steps in the reverse order.
1)Stretch and place OR18O-ringin the groove ofthe AT40-1Cup.
2)Stand AT42-1Case up and fill ~1/2 of volume with the desirable silicone oil. Insert AT41-1Vane into AT42-1Case slowly full way down.
3)Add more silicone oil. Oil should cover the AT41-1Vane completely.It is highlyrecommend that damper be placed into a vacuum pump
to remove air. Otherwise let the damper sit for 30m+to allow air bubbles to escape.
4)With the damper still vertical (important !),screw AT40-1Cup into the AT42-1Case with a 9mm socket wrench until fullythreaded. Do
not force the AT40-1Cup -once aligned,it will screw on easily.The excessive oil should go out through the gap between AT40-1and
AT41-1Vane.Please don’t remove thisoil fromthe bearing cavityofAT40-1Cup on thisstage!
5)Place OR155 O-ringinto AT40-1Cup. You can use a piece of an appropriate tube to press o-ring slowly and fully into cavity.
6)Place B85bearingand one SH5X7X0.1shim onto AT41-1Vane output shaft.
7)Screw SS3X3Set Screw into AT41-1Vane with a 1.5mm hexdriver full way down.Don’t tighten thisset screwtoo much!
Press on and hold SH5X7X0.1shim and B85 bearing against an upward shift at SS3X3screwing.
8) Clean up oil off the outer surface of damper.
