 IMPORTANT NOTES – ELECTRICAL

•  Insulate any exposed electrical wiring (using heat shrink tubing or electrical 

tape)  to  prevent  dangerous  short  circuits.  Take  maximum  care  in  wiring, 

connecting  and  insulating  cables.  Make  sure  cables  are  always  connected 

securely.  Check  connectors  for  if  they  become  loose.  And  if  so,  reconnect 

them securely. Never use R/C models with damaged wires. A damaged wire 

is extremely dangerous, and can cause short-circuits resulting in fire. Please 

have wires repaired at your local hobby shop.

•  Low battery power will result in loss of control. Loss of control can occur due to 

a weak battery in either the transmitter or the receiver. Weak running battery 

may also result in an out of control car if your car‘s receiver power is supplied 

by the running battery. Stop operation immediately if the car starts to slow 

down.

•  When not using RC model, always disconnect and remove battery. 

•  Do not disassemble battery or cut battery cables. If the running battery short-

circuits, approximately 300W of electricity can be discharged, leading to fire 

or burns. Never disassemble battery or cut battery cables.

•  Use  a  recommended  charger  for  the  receiver  and  transmitter  batteries 

and  follow  the  instructions  correctly.  Over-charging,  incorrect  charging,  or 

using inferior chargers can cause the batteries to become dangerously hot. 

Recharge battery when necessary. Continual recharging may damage battery 

and, in the worst case, could build up heat leading to fire. If battery becomes 

extremely hot during recharging, please ask your local hobby shop for check 

and/or repair and/or replacement.

•  Regularly  check  the  charger  for  potential  hazards  such  as  damage  to  the 

cable,  plug,  casing  or  other  defects.  Ensure  that  any  damage  is  rectified 

before using the charger again. Modifying the charger may cause short-circuit 

or overcharging leading to a serious accident. Therefore do not modify the 

charger.

•  Always unplug charger when recharging is finished.

•  Do not recharge battery while battery is still warm. After use, battery retains 

heat. Wait until it cools down before charging. 

•  Do  not  allow  any  metal  part  to  short  circuit  the  receiver  batteries  or  other 

electrical/electronic device on the model.

•  Immediately  stop  running  if  your  RC  model  gets  wet  as  may  cause  short 

circuit. 

•  Please dispose of batteries responsibly. Never put batteries into fire.

QUALITY CERTIFICATE

XRAY MODEL RACING CARS uses only the highest quality materials,  the best 

compounds for molded parts and the most sophisticated manufacturing processes 

of  TQM  (Total  Quality  Management).  We  guarantee  that  all  parts  of  a  newly-

purchased kit are manufactured with the highest regard to quality. However, due 

to the many factors inherent in model racecar competition, we cannot guarantee 

any  parts  once  you  start  racing  the  car.  Products  which  have  been  worn  out, 

abused, neglected or improperly operated will not be covered under warranty. 

We wish you enjoyment of this high-quality and high-performance RC car and 

wish you best success on the track!

In line with our policy of continuous product development, the exact specifications of the kit may 

vary. In the unlikely event of any problems with your new kit, you should contact the model shop 

where you purchased it, quoting the part number.

We do reserve all rights to change any specification without prior notice. All rights reserved.

R/C & BUILDING TIPS

• Make sure all fasteners are properly tightened. Check them periodically.

• Make sure that chassis screws do not protrude from the chassis.

• For the best performance, it is very important that great care is taken to ensure 

the free movement of all parts.

• Clean all ball-bearings so they move very easily and freely.

• Tap or pre-thread the plastic parts when threading screws.

• Self-tapping screws cut threads into the parts when being tightened. Do not use 

excessive force when tightening the self-tapping screws because you may strip 

out  the  thread  in  the  plastic.  We  recommended  you  stop  tightening  a  screw 

when you feel some resistance.

• Ask your local hobby shop for any advice.

Please support your local hobby shop. We at XRAY Model Racing Cars support 

all  local  hobby  dealers.  Therefore  we  ask  you,  if  at  all  possible,  to  purchase 

XRAY products at your hobby dealer and give them your support like we do. If 

you have difficulty finding XRAY products, please check out www.teamxray.com
