Allnuts and bolts used throughout this kitare metric size.
Therefore,some of the notations may not befamiliarto
you. An M3nut isa 3 millimeter (3mm) nut. An M3x 14
screw is3mm indiameter and 14mm long. Some round
parts may belabeledasan"M3 Washer" (a washer with a
3mm inside diameter) or an"M4 x 8 Bushing" (a bushing
witha 4mminsidediameterandan 8mmoutside
diameter). A fewdifferent types of screws are used inthe
construction of your model. Here are some examples and
howthey will beindicated inthe instructions.
M3x14Screw Bushing
SetScrews have a hex head that requires a hex
wrench.Theseare forjoiningpartswherethe
headof a screw may interfere with other parts.
Flathead (F/H) screws have a fine thread and a
tapered head. This allows thehead of the screw to
beflushwiththe part it isholding so that the screw
head does not catch on anything.
Screws have a finethread and are used with nuts
most of the time.They are forhighstress joints
wherestrength isrequired.
Acap screw isused where two pieces of metal
aretobe joined.Thehexheadallowsa hex
wrenchtobe used,providingmoretorque
fortightening.
Aself-tapping (S/T)screw has a coarse thread
and isused to thread into plastic. Becareful not to
tightenthescrewtoomuch.Thismaystrip
the plastic.
IMPORTANT SCREW INFORMATION:
Donot use excessiveforcewhen tightening self-tapping
screws into plastic. Over-tightening willcause the threaded
portion of the plastic to strip. Itisrecommended to stop
tightening when some resistance isfeltasthe head of the
screw contacts the part. Avoidusing power screwdrivers
when assembling your kit. They tend to overtighten screws.
Do notuse threadlockingcompoundon self-tapping
screws.The thread locking compound may damage the
plastic. Use thread locking compound only on screws that
are fastened with a nutor threaded into a metal surface.

Some precautions need to beobserved when buildingyour
Kyosho kitto avoid problems:
1)Take time to read the instruction manual thoroughly.
2)Try to avoid working over a deep pilecarpet. Inthe
event that a small part or screw should fallonto the
carpet, itwould bedifficult to find.
3)Placea matortowel on thework surface where you will
bebuildingthe kit.This will prevent parts from rolling off
andwillprotectthework surface atthesametime.
4) Avoid running the boatinvery cold temperatures. Both
plasticand metalpartsbecomebrittleat low
temperatures.Inaddition, greaseand oilbecome
thick,causing premature wear andpoor performance.
5)Trialfit allparts to ensureproperfit before attaching
them permanently.
Remove allflashing fromparts before assembly, as
shown inthe example below.
