Xray T1 EVO2, Set-Up Book

Page: 3 / 18

When adjusting the servo, the steering must be adjusted so that the steering
block does not hit the pivot balls. If it does, decrease steering throw with your
radio's EPA setting, or with the dual-rate setting if EPA is not available. Failure
to do so can greatly reduce the life of your servo and influence the racing
performance.
SPEED CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
Set up the speed control according to the manufacturer's directions.
NOTE: Some manufacturers require the motor to be connected during
adjustment.
CONNECT THE MOTOR
Elevate the T1 on a stand so that all four wheels can spin without touching
anything. Switch the power on again. Check the speed control and steering
settings once again to make sure they work properly. When finished, turn the
power off and disconnect the batteries.
BATTERY AND SPEED CONTROL PLACEMENT
The speed control position depends on the position of batteries.
The T1 EVO2 allows you to position the batteries forward
or rearward on both sides of the chassis (3+3 saddlepacks),
place all six batteries along one side of the chassis, or use
6-cell stick packs. The position of the batteries will
change the handling characteristics of your car.
Final Adjustments
CHASSIS PREPARATION
XRAY has already taken the extra
step of sanding the edges of the
upper and lower chassis plates so
they are smooth before shipping
them. You might want to take it even
further by sealing the outer edges of
the lower chassis plate with
cyanoacrylate (CA) glue, though this
is not necessary, since the specially-
designed overlapping nylon front
bumper protects the leading edge of
the chassis from abrasion. Put a drop
of thick CA on a cotton swab and
apply it to the edge of the chassis.
Make sure not to let any excess glue drip on the surfaces of the chassis plate.
Slowly work your way around the whole outer edge.
The battery cutouts in the T1 EVO2 chassis were designed to fit the latest
2400mAH and 3000mAH batteries. However, if you used excess glue when
assembling your saddle packs they might not fit properly. File the edges of
the battery cutouts at a 45-degree angle but be sure not to sand so much
that the batteries sit below the bottom of the chassis.
RADIO ADJUSTMENTS
First, remove the servo horn from the steering servo, and disconnect the
motor wires (be sure not to let the motor wires short circuit), then turn the
transmitter on. Next, connect the battery pack and turn on the power switch
on the speed control. Set the steering trim to neutral on your transmitter, then
reconnect the servo horn so that it is leaning in
slightly towards the center line of the chassis.
Now that the steering servo is centered, use the
transmitter to turn the steering left and right,
noting if the wheels are moving in the proper
direction. If not, change the steering servo
direction (servo reverse) on the transmitter and
re-center the servo horn if necessary.
Next examine the T1's servo saver. Use the
steering link adjustment to get the servo saver
as centered as possible.
Next examine the front wheels. Make sure that
they are pointing straight ahead. If not, adjust
the two steering rods equally until the wheels
point straight ahead.

1 1.. R RE EA AR R
Batteries are placed in rear
= more rear traction, less steering.
2 2.. C CE EN NT TE ER R
Batteries are placed in the middle
= slightly more steering than full rear
slightly less rear traction than full front.
3 3.. F FR RO ON NT T
Batteries are placed in front
= less rear traction, more steering.
4 4.. A ALLO ON NG G O ON NE E S SIID DE E
Batteries are placed along one side.
Use when track layout has a high
percentage of corners turning one
direction or use for oval racing. Make
sure to balance the car using
additional weights on the other side of
the chassis, if required. Note: It may be
more difficult to balance the car.
