TIPS TO FINAL ASSEMBLY
Radio installation.
The Electronic speed control (ESC) and the receiver need to be mounted onto the chassis, using double sided tape (not supplied.) Mount the ESC
first on the chassis plate on the left of the car. It is important that the ESC is mounted in a position which keeps the battery wires to the minimum
length, to minimise electrical losses and potential interference problems. Next mount your receiver on the chassis plate on the right of the car. It
is advised to keep the crystal and aerial wire as far away from the batteries as possible. Finally thread the aerial wire through the o-rings on the
Anti-roll mast.
Motor installation and gear meshing.
Bolt your chosen motor in place as shown and fit the appropriate pinion gear to the shaft of the motor. The 10SL is designed for use with long boss
pinions which are available from Corally in a wide variety of sizes in 48 dp and 64 dp. Use a 1.5 mm setscrew driver and ensure that you tighten
the 3 mm set screw onto the flat on the motor shaft. Refer to the gear ratio chart in this manual for advice on gear ratio selection. Once in place
and the gears are fitted you need to adjust the position of the motor, in the slotted holes provided in the motor pod, to ensure that the gears mesh
smoothly. A small amount of play is required between the teeth of the gears as they engage, turn the axle to ensure that they mesh consistently
around the whole spur gear. Once in position tighten up the M3 screws to hold the motor firmly in place. Please note that there are two types of
gears available for Corally cars. One is 48 dp which offers good efficiency and great durability, whilst for the serious racer there are 64 dp gears
which have a much smaller tooth form and so offer greater efficiency at the expense of durability.
Mounting the bodyshell and wings.
It is recommended that you use a lexan / polycarbonate bodyshell (not included) as they are lightweight and strong. See the set-up section later
in this manual for advice on bodyshell selection and other aerodynamic considerations. It is advised that you mark the outside of the bodyshell
with bodypost and aerial positions, before you spray paint it on the inside. The Corally body mounting posts fitted to the car are fully adjustable.
The bodypost screws are fitted with sleeves which have been designed to allow the bodyshell to ‘float’ a little. This design helps in the event of a
crash or when the bodyshell is accidentally run too low.
