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 open each bag in alphabetical order. Each bag of
parts will be broken down into “Steps” thru the manual. All parts and 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 the rare event you need to look in a different bag for a certain part, it will be
noted clearly in the instructions.

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.
