TIPS:

Ø

 

Typical motor wind used in this car can

range from 8 turns all the way to 15 turn
motors. You can actually use higher motor

winds, the choice is up to you!

Ø

 

Using the stock 72 spur gear, the following

pinion combinations can be expected for the

given motors as a good starting point:

Ø

 

15 Turn Double – 19 Teeth Pinion

Ø

 

14 Turn Double – 18 Teeth Pinion

Ø

 

13 Turn Double – 18 Teeth Pinion

Ø

 

12 Turn Double – 17 Teeth Pinion

Ø

 

11 Turn Double – 17 Teeth Pinion

Ø

 

10 Turn Double – 16 Teeth Pinion

Ø

 

 9 Turn Double -  16 Teeth Pinion

Ø

 

 8 Turn Double -  16 Teeth Pinion

Ø

 

Below this….GOOD LUCK!

Ø

 

Remember, that if you change the spur

gear, the matching numbers shown above

may change as well.

Ø

 

The largest spur gear we can fit, without

modifying the chassis is 80 teeth spur gear.

Ø

 

After every raceday we recommend that

you inspect the steering bell crank to the
brass posts surfaces. Clean the surfaces and

re-apply small amounts of suitable lubricant
(i.e. Teflon grease, Lithium grease or even
powder graphite) to keep the surfaces

lubricated. Failure to clean them on a regular
basis may inhibit the steering system to
operate smoothly.

Ø

 

We recommend that when you fit the body

to the chassis, you add a couple of pieces of
Velcro along each side of the car so you can

closeout/seal better the body, and minimize
the amount of dirt it can get inside the car.

Ø

 

If you wish to seal all the orifices on the

bottom of the chassis (i.e. motor vent hole,
battery slot openings, spur clearance slot

opening, etc) to keep dirt from coming in
through them, then we suggest that you
install a flexible sheet film on the bottom

exterior surface of the chassis. The
Associated chassis protection sheet film
works very well on this application. Make

sure you clean the bottom surface of the
chassis thoroughly prior to applying the
sheet film. If necessary, apply liberal

amounts of motor cleaner to a clean cloth
rag, and scrub the bottom surface of the

chasis. Allow to dry for a couple of minutes,
prior to installation.
