Chassis Component Overview
Battery Holder:
Moulded out of impact-resistant nylon plastic, the battery holder firmly holds the battery pack(s) that power the Rail.
The battery holder is sized to fit most 6 cell Ni-Cd or Ni-MH battery packs and 2 ~ 4S Li-Po battery packs.
Battery Retaining Strap:
The battery retaining strap holds the Ni-MH or Li-Po battery pack(s) that powers the Rail securely in the battery
holder. The battery retaining strap makes it easy to remove the battery pack(s) and is adjustable to fit different size battery packs.
Body Mount:
Moulded out of high-impact nylon plastic for strength, the body mount supports the body. Five body mounts are featured
to secure the body firmly in place.
Brushless ESC with Cooling Fan:
The ESC is a solid-state device that takes power from the battery pack and the throttle signal from
the receiver and converts them into proportional power for the motor. The Rail features a high-quality 120 Amp brushless ESC that can
handle 6 ~ 12 cell Ni-Cds or Ni-MHs, or 2 ~ 4S Li-Pos. In addition, the ESC features a 3 Amp/6 Volt Battery Eliminator Circuit (BEC),
forward and reverse control, and a cooling fan that helps keep the ESC from getting too hot. The ESC can also be programmed using
the included ESC programming card.
Brushless Motor with Heat-Sink and Cooling Fans:
The brushless motor provides the power to the drivetrain. Brushless motors are
more efficient and produce more power than brushed motors. The Rail features a powerful 2370kV brushless motor that includes a
heat-sink and dual cooling fans to help keep motor temperatures under control.
Bumper:
Moulded out of impact-resistant nylon plastic, the bumper protects the chassis from most head-on impacts.
Centre Differential:
The centre differential transfers power between the front and rear gearboxes. The centre differential can be tuned
for specific conditions using different weights of silicone oil.
ESC Battery Leads:
The ESC battery leads are where you plug your battery pack in to power your Rail. The ESC battery leads feature
high-quality 12 AWG silicone wire and gold-plated 4mm male Bullet connectors.
ESC On/Off Switch:
Turns the ESC 'ON' and 'OFF'. The ESC On/Off switch features a 'SET' button, which is used in the throttle control
range calibration feature. For more information, see page 11.
Receiver Box with Antenna Mount:
This is where the receiver is mounted. The receiver box protects the receiver from dust, dirt and
debris. The top of the receiver box features an antenna mount that the plastic antenna tube fits into. The receiver box is
not
waterproof.
