CUSTOM WORKS design and quality. In order for you
to realize this race car’s winning potential it is important to follow the written text along with the
pictures included. The steps required to build this car are very easy, as long as you read before you
build.
The instructional format for building this car is to assemble each bag in alphabetical order. There you
will find all of the small parts needed for that step. Bigger parts and unique parts are packaged
together in one common bag, look for these items here. Each bag of parts will be broken down into
“Steps” thru the manual. All hardware needed to complete all steps for each separate bag will be
found in each individual bag. There is no need to steal screws from other bags.
In order to offer a quality and precise competition car kit, some suspension and drive-train
components may have a slight snug “fit” or “feel” with their mating parts when the kit is new but
should move smoothly. This will wear in over time however you may want to tailor fit these parts to
pivot freely but WITHOUT slop now. For suspension arms use a small file or Xacto to shave a SLIGHT
amount of interfearing material versus a suspension mount. For the drive-train, the bearings are
packed with a thick grease for longer bearing life. You can soak the bearings in WD-40 to dissolve
the grease, giving you a super free drivetrain but with shorter bearing life.
Considering the various dirt or clay surfaces that Dirt Oval cars are raced on today, the Outlaw has
been designed to be competitive on either loose packed dirt with buggy tires or high bite clay with
rubber or foam racing tires. The instructions will build the kit using the most verastale set-up Custom
Works has found in testing on different types of tracks, however there are various other suspension
configurations available to you that you may find more suitable for your local track. For updates and
more proven set-ups login to CustomWorksRC.com.
All hardware (screws, washers, nuts, etc…) are referred to by size and type in the instructions. To help
clarify which screw or nut the instruction is calling for refer to the HARDWARE REFERENCE
supplement. The size of the screw or nut should match the “shadow” of the same piece very closely.

BUILDING TIPS:
-Using some type of thread locking fluid is suggested for all parts where metal screws thread into other
metal parts. We suggest using a lite setting strength thread lock for the reason you may want to take
the screw out one day. Remember it only takes a very small amount to secure the screw.
-Do NOT

NOT use power screwdrivers to drive screws into parts. The fast rotation speed can easily melt and
strip plastic parts or cross-thread into the aluminum parts.
-Lightly sand the edges of graphite pieces using a medium grade sandpaper to avoid splinters. Run a
thin bead of Super Glue around the edges to give pieces greater durability.
