GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
•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.
Keep the wheels of the model off the ground 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.
ASSEMBLY NOTES
Before starting each build-stage checkthat you have the right quantity and size of items for the build-stage. To assist you with
the assembly of your A700 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 checkthey are the correct size/length.

LET’S START
Four main configurations of the A700 car layout are possible.
Some building steps have different variants depending on a desirable configuration.
Longitudinal motor layout is good for 8.5T -17.5T motors due to minimal transmission power loss and lower
drive train ratio of 2.08. Drive train ratio at transverse motor layout is 2.55.
Right-side servo location is recommended for low-profile servos only and provides beneficial weight distribution.
Left-side servo location is possible for both standard and low-profile servos and provides wider weight balance range.
