IMPORTANT NOTES – GENERAL
• This product is not suitable for children under 16 years of age without the direct
supervision of a responsible and knowledgeable adult.
• Carefully read all manufacturers warnings and cautions for any parts used in the
construction and use of your model.
• Assemble this kit only in places away from the reach of very small children.
• First-time builders and users should seek advice from people who have building
experience in order to assemble the model correctly and to allow the model to
reach its performance potential.
• Exercise care when using tools and sharp instruments.
• Take care when building, as some parts may have sharp edges.
• Keep small parts out of reach of small children. Children must not be allowed to
put any parts in their mouth, or pull vinyl bag over their head.
• Read and follow instructions supplied with paints and/or cement, if used (not
included in kit).
• Immediately after using your model, do NOT touch equipment on the model such
as the motor and speed controller, because they generate high temperatures.
You may seriously burn yourself seriously touching them.
• Follow the operating instructions for the radio equipment at all times.
• Do not put fingers or any objects inside rotating and moving parts, as this may
cause damage or serious injury as your finger, hair, clothes, etc. may get caught.
• Be sure that your operating frequency is clear before turning on or running your
model, and never share the same frequency with somebody else at the same
time. Ensure that others are aware of the operating frequency you are using and
when you are using it.
• Use a transmitter designed for ground use with RC cars. Make sure that no one
else is using the same frequency as yours in your operating area. Using the same
frequency at the same time, whether it is driving, flying or sailing, can cause loss
of control of the RC model, resulting in a serious accident.
• Always turn on your transmitter before you turn on the receiver in the car. Always
turn off the receiver before turning your transmitter off.
• Keep the wheels of the model off the ground when checking the operation of the
radio equipment.
• Disconnect the battery pack before storing your model.
• When learning to operate your model, go to an area that has no obstacles that
can damage your model if your model suffers a collision.
• Remove any sand, mud, dirt, grass or water before putting your model away.
• If the model behaves strangely, immediately stop the model, check and clear the
problem.
• 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 public places and roads or areas where its
operation can conflict with or disrupt pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
• Because the model car is controlled by radio, it is subject to radio interference
from many sources that are beyond your control. Since radio interference can
cause momentary loss of control, always allow a safety margin in all directions
around the model in order to prevent collisions.
• Do not use your model:
- Near real cars, animals, or people that are unaware that an RC car is being
driven.
- In places where children and people gather
- In residential districts and parks
- In limited indoor spaces
- In wet conditions
- In the street
- In areas where loud noises can disturb others, such as hospitals and
residential areas.
- At night or anytime your line of sight to the model may be obstructed or
impaired in any way.
To prevent any serious personal injury and/or damage to property, please be
responsible when operating all remote controlled models.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED AS ABUSE AND/OR NEGLECT.

IMPORTANT NOTES – NITRO ENGINES
• Always test the brakes and the throttle before starting your engine to avoid
losing control of the model.
• Make sure the air filter is clean and oiled.
• Never run your engine without an air filter. Your engine can be seriously
damaged if dirt and debris get inside the engine.
• For proper engine break-in, please refer to the manual that came with the
engine.
• Do not run near open flames or smoke while running your model or while
handling fuel.
• Some parts will be hot after operation. Do not touch the exhaust or the engine
until they have cooled. These parts may reach 275°F during operation!

IMPORTANT NOTES – ELECTRICAL
• Insulate any exposed electrical wiring (using heat shrink tubing or electrical tape)
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. Please have wires repaired at your
local hobby shop.
• Low battery power will result in loss of control. Loss of control can occur due to a
weak battery in either the transmitter or the receiver. Weak running battery may
also result in an out of control car if your car‘s receiver power is supplied by the
running battery. Stop operation immediately if the car starts to slow down.
• When not using RC model, always disconnect and remove battery.
• Do not disassemble battery or cut battery cables. If the running battery short-
circuits, approximately 300W of electricity can be discharged, leading to fire or
burns. Never disassemble battery or cut battery cables.
• Use a recommended charger for the receiver and transmitter batteries and
follow the instructions correctly. Over-charging, incorrect charging, or using
inferior chargers can cause the batteries to become dangerously hot. Recharge
battery when necessary. Continual recharging may damage battery and, in the
worst case, could build up heat leading to fire. If battery becomes extremely hot
during recharging, please ask your local hobby shop for check and/or repair
and/or replacement.
• Regularly check the charger for potential hazards such as damage to the cable,
plug, casing or other defects. Ensure that any damage is rectified before using
the charger again. Modifying the charger may cause short-circuit or overcharging
leading to a serious accident. Therefore do not modify the charger.
• Always unplug charger when recharging is finished.
• Do not recharge battery while battery is still warm. After use, battery retains
heat. Wait until it cools down before charging.
• Do not allow any metal part to short circuit the receiver batteries or other
electrical/electronic device on the model.
• Immediately stop running if your RC model gets wet as may cause short circuit.
• Please dispose of batteries responsibly. Never put batteries into fire.

QUALITY CERTIFICATE
XRAY MODEL RACING CARS uses only the highest quality materials, the best
compounds for molded parts and the most sophisticated manufacturing processes
of TQM (Total Quality Management). We guarantee that all parts of a newly-
purchased kit are manufactured with the highest regard to quality. However, due to
the many factors inherent in model racecar competition, we cannot guarantee any
parts once you start racing the car. Products which have been worn out, abused,
neglected or improperly operated will not be covered under warranty.
We wish you enjoyment of this high-quality and high-performance RC car and wish
you best success on the track!
In line with our policy of continuous product development, the exact specifications of the kit may vary. In the unlikely event of any
problems with your new kit, you should contact the model shop where you purchased it, quoting the part number. We do reserve all
rights to change any specification without prior notice. All rights reserved.
R/C & BUILDING TIPS
• Make sure all fasteners are properly tightened. Check them periodically.
• Make sure that chassis screws do not protrude from the chassis.
• For the best performance, it is very important that great care is taken to ensure
the free movement of all parts.
• Clean all ball-bearings so they move very easily and freely.
• Tap or pre-thread the plastic parts when threading screws.
• Self-tapping screws cut threads into the parts when being tightened. Do not use
excessive force when tightening the self-tapping screws because you may strip
out the thread in the plastic. We recommended you stop tightening a screw when
you feel some resistance.
• Ask your local hobby shop for any advice.
Please support your local hobby shop. We at XRAY Model Racing Cars support all
local hobby dealers. Therefore we ask you, if at all possible, to purchase XRAY
products at your hobby dealer and give them your support like we do. If you have
difficulty finding XRAY products, please check out www.teamxray.com to get advice,
or contact us via email at info@teamxray.com, or contact the XRAY distributor in
your country.
IMPORTANT NOTES – NITRO FUEL
• Handle fuel only outdoors. Never handle nitro fuel indoors, or mix nitro fuel in
a place where ventilation is bad.
• Only use nitro fuel for R/C models. Do not use gasoline or kerosene in R/C
models as it may cause a fire or explosion, and ruin your engine.
• Nitro fuel is highly inflammable, explosive, and poisonous. Never use fuel
indoors or in places with open fires and sources of heat.
• Always keep the fuel container cap tightly shut.
• Always read the warning label on the fuel container for safety information.
• Nitro-powered model engines emit poisonous vapors and gasses. These vapors
irritate eyes and can be highly dangerous to your health. We recommend wearing
rubber or vinyl gloves to avoid direct contact with nitro fuel.
• Nitro fuel for RC model cars is made of the combination of the methyl alcohol,
castor or synthetic oil, nitro methane etc. The flammability and volatility of these
elements is very high, so be very careful during handling and storage of nitro
fuel.
• Keep nitro fuel away from open flame, sources of heat, direct sunlight, high
temperatures, or near batteries.
• Store fuel in a cool, dry, dark, well-ventilated place, away from heating devices,
open flames, direct sunlight, or batteries. Keep nitro fuel away from children.
• Do not leave the fuel in the carburetor or fuel tank when the model is not in use.
There is danger that the fuel may leak out.
• Wipe up any spilled fuel with a cloth.
• Be aware of spilled or leaking fuel. Fuel leaks can cause fires or explosions.
• Do not dispose of fuel or empty fuel containers in a fire. There is danger of
explosion.

When using wider rear TRACK WIDTH, we recommend to put fuel
tube between the into the solid axle from both sides before inserting
the drive shaft to make sure that the drive shaft will not fall out.
We recommend to use 260mm rear track width as INITIAL SETTING.
Fuel tube
Fuel tube
TRACK WIDTH
If you use the rear width wider than 261mm,
we recommend to use 13mm wide tube from
each side of the solid axle.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT
that the drive shaft has axial play
otherwise without play, the whole
suspension will not move freely and
it will have very negative impact on
the car handling.
If you use the rear width wider than 264mm, we recommend to use
13mm wide tube from each side of the solid axle and 10mm wide
tube inside of the rear wheel axle.
