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

IMPORTANT NOTES – NITRO ENGINES

•  Always test the brakes and the throttle before starting your engine to avoid losing control of 
 the 

model.

•  Make sure the air filter is clean and oiled. 
•  Never run your engine without an air filter. Your engine can be seriously damaged if dirt and 
  debris get inside the engine.
•  For proper engine break-in, please refer to the manual that came with the engine.
•  Do not run near open flames or smoke while running your model or while handling fuel.
•  Some parts will be hot after operation. Do not touch the exhaust or the engine until they 
  have cooled. These parts may reach 275°F during operation!

   

IMPORTANT NOTES – NITRO FUEL

•  Handle fuel only outdoors. Never handle nitro fuel indoors, or mix nitro fuel in a place 
  where ventilation is bad.
•  Only use nitro fuel for R/C models. Do not use gasoline or kerosene in R/C models as it 
  may cause a fire or explosion, and ruin your engine.
•  Nitro fuel is highly inflammable, explosive, and poisonous. Never use fuel indoors or in 
  places with open fires and sources of heat. 
•  Always keep the fuel container cap tightly shut.
•  Always read the warning label on the fuel container for safety information. 
•  Nitro-powered model engines emit poisonous vapors and gasses. These vapors irritate eyes 
  and can be highly dangerous to your health. We recommend wearing rubber or vinyl gloves to 
  avoid direct contact with nitro fuel.

•  Nitro fuel for RC model cars is made of the combination of the methyl alcohol, castor or 
  synthetic oil, nitro methane etc. The flammability and volatility of these elements is very 
  high, so be very careful during handling and storage of nitro fuel.
•  Keep nitro fuel away from open flame, sources of heat, direct sunlight, high temperatures, 
  or near batteries.
• Store fuel in a cool, dry, dark, well-ventilated place, away from heating devices, open 
  flames, direct sunlight, or batteries. Keep nitro fuel away from children.
•  Do not leave the fuel in the carburetor or fuel tank when the model is not in use. There is 
  danger that the fuel may leak out.
•  Wipe up any spilled fuel with a cloth
•  Be aware of spilled or leaking fuel. Fuel leaks can cause fires or explosions.
•  Do not dispose of fuel or empty fuel containers in a fire. There is danger of explosion. 

  

FIRST AID

•  Do not swallow nitro fuel or get it in your eyes. If this happens, immediate measures 
  should be taken.
•  If fuel is swallowed, immediately drink large quantities of water and induce vomiting.  
  Consult a physician or poison control center immediately.
•  If fuel gets into the eyes, rinse them well with water, and then consult a physician 
 immediately.
•  If fuel gets onto the skin, wash it with soap and water well.

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 fi nished.
•  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 fi re.
