• The Kyosho Dodge Ram Truck is a sophisticated nitro-power ed
4WD monster truck with areversing transmission. Nitro-powered
RIC vehicles are no more difficuH to build and operate than
electric RICvehicles. They do requirea lew different building
proceduresthan electrics. IIyou follow the directionsclosely,
the Kyosho Dodge Ram Truckwill provide many years
of car
crushing enjoyment.
This Kyosho Instruction manual uses a cross-reference
system to help you locate all of the bagged parts. DO N OT
open each bag and dump out the parts. Carefully remove th e
header card from the bag a
nd discard the staple. Slip the
headercard into the bag or tape
it to the outside of the bag so
that the bag number shows. This will

All nuts and bolts used throughout this kit are met r ic size.
Therefore, some
of the notations may not be familiar to you.
An M3 nut
is a 3 millimeter (3mm) nut. An M3 x 14 screw is
3mm in diameter and 14mm long. Some round parts may be
labeled as an "
M3 Washer" (a washer with a 3mm in side
diameter) or an "
M4 x 8 Bush ing' (a bushing w ith a 4 mm
Inside diame ter and an Smm outside diameter). A fewdifferent
types of screws are used in the construction
of your model.
Here are some examples and how they will be indicated in the
Instructions.

and Is U$8d 10 lh<oad Into pjaslic. Be care!\1 nolto
ti ghten the screw loo much. This may str ip
lhe JQ$1ic ( see below ).
A c:ap screw Is used -• pieces of melal
are to be joined. The hex head allows a hex
wrench to be used, providing more torque
for tightening.
Screws have aline t hread and are used with nuts
most of the lime. They are for high stress join ts
wtleca strength Is required .
Rat head (FIH) scrowa have a fine thread and a
tlpllred heed. This allows the head of the screw to
be flush with the pan h Is holding so thai the screw
head does not catCh on anything.
Set Scrowo have a hex head thai requires a hex
wrench . These are for J oinJ~ pans where the
head of a screw may lnle<toro withotherpans.
IMPORTANT SCREW INFORMATION:
Do not use excess ive force when tightening se l l- tapping
sc rews into plastic. Overtightening will cause the threaded
portion
of the pl as tic to strip . It is recom mended to stop
tightening when some resistance Is felt
as the head of the
screw contacts the part. Avoid using power screwdrivers when
assembling your kit as they tend to overtighten screws. Do not
use thread lock on self-tapping
sc rews. The thread lock may
damage the plastic. Use thread lock only on sc rews that are
fastened with a nut
or threaded into a metal su rface. Vibration
from the engine will cause these scre ws to vibrate loose
without thread lock.

Some precauti ons need to be observed when bu ilding your
Kyoshokit
to avoid problems:
1. Take time to read the instruction manual thoroughly.
2. Try to avoid w or king over a deep pile carp el. In the eve nt
that a small part or screw should fall onto t he c ar pe l, it
would be difficu lt to find.
3. Placea mat or towel on the work surfacewhere you will be
building the kit. This will prevent parts from rolling off and
willprotect the worksurface
a1 the same time .
4. Avoid running the truck in very cold temperatures. Both
plastic ancf m eta l p ar ts become br ittle at low
temperatures. In additi on , grease an d oil b eco me thick,
causing premature w ear and poo r performance.
5. Trial fit all parts to ensure properfit before attaching them
permanently.
6. Remove all flashing from parts before assembly , as
shown in the examp le below.
