of small children.The partsin the kit aresmall and can be swal-
lowed by children, causing choking and possible internalinjury.
2. The shockfluid and greasessupplied should be kept
out of chi ldren 's reach.T hey were not intended for humancon-
sumption!
3. Exercisecarewhen using any handtools,sharpinstru-
ments,andpowertoolsduringconstruction.
4.Carefullyread all manufacturer's warnings and cautions
foranyglues or paintsthatmaybeusedforassemblypurposes.

MOTORS AND GEARING
YourDouble-X'CR'carincludes an 84 tooth, 48 pitch spur gear. The overallinternal gearboxratio is2.19:1. The externalpinion
gear
will determineyourgearratio.
To figure out thefinal driveratiofirst divide the spur gear size by the pinion gear size. Say you
areusinga20tooth piniongear, you woulddivide 84 (spurgearsize) by 20 (piniongearsize). Forexample: 4.2 is yourexternal drive
ratio. Nowmultiplythe internal
drive ratio (2.19) by the externaldriveratio (4.2). Forexample:Thistells you that using a 20 tooth
pinionanda 84tooth
spur gear, the final driveratiois9.198: 1.

head screws (52) through the pivot plate (166)
and into the
rear bulkhead (51). Do not tighten these screws yet.
Step
9. Place a gold washer (46) over each of the two
4-40 x 3/8" cap head screws (6) and partially thread them
through the twoears in the
top of the bulkhead (51), into the
chassis
(11 ). Now tighten all four screws starting with the
flathead screws (52).

Step 11.Position the universal pivot (55) inthe rearaxle
(56)
so that the holes in both are aligned.
Step 12.Using pliers, carefullypusha 3/32"x 1/2"spirol
pin
(57) through the rear axle (56) and universal pivot (55)
untilthe pin (57) extendsevenly
out of both sides of rearaxle
(56).
fb The pin can be made to press in tighter. This will
ensure that
it staysfirmly in place. To do so SLIGHTLY crimp
the center
of the pin with heavy duty wire cutters. When in-
serting the pin
be careful not to smash the ends of the pin .
This can causethe universal pivot
to bind.

Bag Drequires that
you pay closeattention to the bearings involved in theassembly. Somebearings used
during the assembly
of this bag are very similarin size. Itis importantthat you open the bags only as
they areneeded. The bearings that are of concern arepacked in separatebags.
