Xray t1m User manual

1
The XRAY T1 Mini is more than just a high-performance 1/12th scale
4WD mini touring car. It is a scaled-down version of the highly-successful
T1 touring car and includes all the greatest features of the T1 family. The
design of the XRAY T1 Mini is focused on blending extraordinary materials
with racecar lineage to offer a responsive ride, luxurious elegant design,
finest quality, and of course best track performance.
The XRAY T1 Mini is a great car for fun racing. It is is much easier to drive
than standard touring cars, it is much more affordable, and motor wear is
reduced but the performance is outstanding! The XRAY T1 Mini 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 T1 Mini as their entrance into the R/C hobby.
Even with the standard setup, the XRAY T1 Mini gives a very stable,
predictable driving experience. However, you can adjust numerous
settings on the T1M to tune it for maximum performance.
We have made every effort to make these instructions 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

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
[e-mail], or contact the XRAY distributor in your
country.

KIT
The XRAY T1 Mini 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.

If you need to replace the diff locknut, push it out from the opposite side with the tip of a
wrench. Insert a new one into the 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.

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.

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.

Important: There are two special #303222 unidirectional 5mm ball joints, each marked with
a molded dot (see diagram). Thread these special ball joints onto the longer end of each
turnbuckle. Adjust the turnbuckles to a length of 44 mm, measured end-to-end.
The ball joints should be perpendicular (90°) to each other.
22..Snap a #303231 adjustable ball end into the special ball joint with the molded dot.
Install the ball end into the side of the special ball joint OPPOSITE the molded dot.
Note: Each turnbuckle has a CCW thread on one end and a CW thread on the other end.

If there is any binding that prevents the arms from moving freely,
lightly squeeze the ball joints with pliers, and then recheck.
Mount the #303099 rear shock tower to the rear bulkheads with
#309333 (SH M3x6) screws.
Assemble the TWO rear suspension arms by performing the following steps.
11..Place the assembled turnbuckle so the adjustable ball joint faces backward
toward the rear bulkhead as shown. Place the other ball joint atop the rear
upright.
22..Pass a #309335 (SH M3x10) screw downward through a #307454 pivot
ball and turnbuckle ball joint, and thread into the innermost hole in the top of
the rear upright. Tighten until the pivot ball snaps into the ball joint, and then
tighten the whole assembly.
33..Insert the turnbuckle’s adjustable ball end into the rear bulkhead until the
ball end touches the bulkhead.
44..Thread a #309351 (SB M3x4) set screw into the top of the rear bulkhead
to secure the ball end.
To remove a snap ring:
Place the hex portion of the wheel
axle flat on a table. Insert a small
screwdriver in the axle cutout and
pry it off, taking care not to let it fly
