Xray T1r racer User manual

The XRAY T1R Raycer is arguably the most affordable advanced

1/10-scale on-road electric touring car ever made for racing, and

is based on the extremely successful XRAY T1 concept. We have

used the results of thousands of hours of racing and testing on

both of asphalt and carpet tracks to offer you the best car in

terms of quality, performance, and price. The XRAY T1R was

created by blending highest-quality materials and excellent

design. The result? A very affordable, durable, high-performance

racecar that is extremely easy to assemble and drive. The XRAY

T1R has the racing pedigree of the XRAY T1 family and can be

used for very high competition racing, but is also well suited for

novice drivers who choose the XRAY T1R as their entrance into the

R/C hobby.

The XRAY T1R features simplified suspension components to

maximize ease of assembly and setup while offering the highest

possible performance at every kind of track. Even with the

standard setup, the XRAY T1R gives a very stable, predictable

driving experience. For more advanced racing and setup, we

have produced a special Set-Up Book to help you understand the

operation of your car and tune it for maximum performance.

Setting up and tuning the XRAY T1R is extremely easy thanks to

the smart design of all parts.

We have made every effort to make these instructions and Set-Up

Book as easy to understand as possible. However, if you have any

difficulties, problems, or questions, please do not hesitate to

contact the XRAY support team at support@teamxray.com. Also,

please visit our web site at www.teamxray.com to find the latest

updates, setup information, option parts, and many other

goodies. We pride ourselves on taking excellent care of our

customers.

R/C & BUILDING TIPS

• Read and fully understand the instruction manual before

building.

• Always keep this instruction manual ready at hand for quick

reference, even after completing the assembly.

• Clear a work area for assembling the kit.

• Work on a light-colored towel so any dropped parts are easy

to find.

• Only open bags of parts for the assembly section you are

building; do not open parts bags before required.

• Make sure all screws are tight, and check them periodically.

Make sure the chassis screws do not protrude below the

chassis.

• For best performance, it is very important to ensure the free

movement of all parts.

• Tap or pre-thread plastic parts when threading screws.

• Self-tapping screws cut threads into the parts when tightened.

Do not use excessive force when tightening self-tapping screws,

or you may strip out the thread in the plastic. We recommend

you stop tightening a screw when you feel some resistance.

Please support your local hobby shop, and ask them for any

advice. We at XRAY Model Racing Cars support all local hobby

dealers. Therefore we ask you, when possible, to purchase XRAY

products at your hobby dealer and give them your support as we

do. If you have difficulty finding XRAY products, please check out

www.teamxray.com to get advice, or contact us via e-mail at

support@teamxray.com, or contact the XRAY distributor in your

country.

KIT

The XRAY T1R comes partially preassembled. Before starting assembly, disassemble the chassis parts, noting the position and orientation of the

parts, particularly the bulkheads. Keep the parts, including the screw hardware, close at hand. In the assembly steps that follow, each section

begins with a parts list. Parts indicated with style B are from the previously disassembled chassis parts in section 0.

BEFORE YOU START

At the beginning of each section is an exploded view of the parts to be

assembled. There is also a list of all the parts and part numbers that are

related to the assembly of that section.

The part descriptions are color-coded to make it easier for you to identify the

source of a part. Here are what the different colors mean:

STYLE A - indicates parts that are included in the bag marked for

the section.

STYLE B -indicates parts that were set aside in Section 0.

SSTTYYLLEECC- indicates parts that are already assembled from

previous steps.

The composite material is sensitive to very high temperatures. Prolonged exposure to very high temperatures will damage the

composite and may cause it to deform. For example, do not leave the T1R in a sealed car during hot days.

LONG DIFF SHAFT

SHORT DIFF SHAFT

When you need to clean or rebuild the diff, perform the following steps.

11..Insert the smaller of the two thrust washers into the long diff shaft.

22..Apply grease to the balls in the thrust ball cage; coat each side.

Insert the thrust ball cage into the long diff shaft.

33..Place the larger thrust washer into the long diff shaft.

44..Insert four cone washers as shown in the detail image.

55..Insert a #309442 (C 8) clip into the groove inside the

long diff shaft. Use snap-ring pliers for easy assembly.

1. FRONT & REAR DIFFERENTIAL

Slide two Labyrinth Dust Covers onto the ends of the diff shafts; the smooth

sides of the covers face outward, away from the pulley. Squeeze the covers

firmly until they both "snap" onto pulley; it may take a bit of effort to do this.

Once snapped on, the covers seat perfectly.

TToocchheecckktthheeddiiffffeerreennttiiaall::

Slide two wrenches into the slots on both sides of the diff shafts.

Hold both wrenches in one hand and try to turn the pulley; it

should take some force to get the pulley to slip between the two

outdrives. Then remove both wrenches and rotate one of the diff

shafts while holding the pulley stationery. The action should feel

smooth.

To tighten the differential:

Insert a small Allen wrench into the aligned holes in the setscrew

and long diff shaft. Turn the long diff shaft 1/16 to 1/8 of a turn

clockwise to tighten. Remove the Allen wrench and recheck the

diff.

To loosen the differential:

Same as tightening the differential, except turn the long diff shaft

counter-clockwise to loosen.

DO NOT TIGHTEN THE DIFF COMPLETELY

THE DIFF MUST BE BROKEN IN PROPERLY !

11. Hold the short diff shaft with the installed pulley facing up. Place a #309020 (BB 5x8)

ball-bearing on the center stub, atop the other bearing.

22..Put a very thin coat of grease on the side of a #305082 diff washer, and place it on

the long diff shaft. The washer should seat centered on the long diff shaft, and the layer

of grease will hold it in place.

33..Insert the #305040 diff screw into the top of the long diff shaft as shown, and align

the holes in the screw with the holes in the diff shaft. Slide a small Allen wrench through

the aligned holes in both pieces. The end of the diff screw should protrude from the

center of the diff shaft.

44..Hold the lower diff half upward as shown, and lower the long diff shaft with the screw

pointing down onto the short diff shaft. Carefully thread the diff screw into the center of

the short diff shaft. Keep tightening until the diff washer just touches the diff balls, and

then tighten another 1/4 turn or until you feel some resistance. Remove the Allen wrench.

IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT::When you build the differential, do not tighten it fully initially; the differential needs to be broken in properly. When you build the diff

tighten it very gently. When you put the diff in the car and complete the assembly, run the car for a few minutes, tighten the diff a little bit, and then

recheck the diff. Repeat this process several times until you have the diff tightened to the point you want it.

Final adjustments should ALWAYS be made with the diff in the car and on the track.

Properly functioning shocks are very important to the performance of your car. This XRAY shock set contains parts to build four externally-adjustable or non-adjustable shocks.

Both adjustable and non-adjustable shocks feature XRAY's unique keying system that positively locks the pistons to the shock rods.

Carefully cut the parts from the frames, and then VERY carefully trim any excess flash with a sharp hobby knife. We recommend you use extra-fine sandpaper to gently smooth

small flashing. The side walls of the pistons must be perfectly round and smooth for proper operation.

SShhoocckkbblleeeeddiinngg::

Turn the shock upside down and pull the shock rod out to full extension. Release the shock end-cap by turning it CCW and

pulling it slightly away from the shock body. Let the shock “vent” for at least 10 minutes; excess oil should seep out the end

of the shock body. If the shock rod doesn’t retract slightly into the shock body, push it in by 1~2mm. Replace the end-cap.

Check the shock for proper operation. The shock rod must move in and out freely with only "hydraulic" dampening.

The shock rod should not extend out by itself when pushed in and released, nor should it be drawn into the shock body when

extended and released. If this happens, reopen the shock, refill with oil, reassemble, and repeat the bleeding procedure.

SShhoocckklleennggtthhaaddjjuussttmmeenntt::

It is VERY important that all shocks are equal length.

Fully extend the shock absorber and measure the end-

to-end length; we recommend using digital calipers to

give an accurate measurement. If a shock absorber is

shorter or longer than others, adjust the shock length

by tightening or loosening the ball joint on the shock

rod.

DDaammppiinnggaaddjjuussttmmeenntt::

If you built the adjustable shocks, fully extend the shock

rod and turn it slightly to lock the piston in the shock

body.

Turning the shock rod fully CCW aligns

4 holes in the pistons (softest damping). Turning the

shock rod fully CW aligns 1 hole in the pistons (hardest

damping). The shocks have four settings, each of which

can be felt by a slight "click".

Set all four shocks initially to position 3 (3 holes open).

11..Fully extend the piston rod so the piston is at the bottom of the shock body.
