ASSEMBLING THE KIT:
TOOLS YOU WILL NEED:
In addition to the tools which have been provided (Kit version),
you will need the following:
• A no. 1 and a no. 2 Philips screwdrivers.
• A pair of needlenose pliers.
• A hobby knife
Paint and other chemicals needed to finish the body are not
included. There is a section in the back of this manual which pro-
vides tips for painting and detailing the body.
ASSEMBLY HINTS:
• Find a large flat working area where you can spread out and
have plenty of room to build.
• Allow yourself plenty of time to build the kit. Build time will vary
with each individual. You should feel comfortable with taking as
much time as you need to properly build and set up this kit.
• There are many bags of small parts in your kit. Label some
paper plates and pour the contents of the bags onto them. This
get the parts out where you can see them.
• While it is possible to assemble the Spirit just by looking at the
pictures and the drawings, do read the text which accompanies
each step.
The kit version does not include the radio system. The photos
in this manual do show the installation of a typical radio system.
Before installing the radio system, find the center neutral position
of the steering and throttle servos.
With the radio components out of the car, connect the steering
servo to channel 1 on the receiver. Connect the throttle servo to
channel 2. Connect the red and black cable from the mechanical
speed control to the "BATT" terminal on the receiver. (Note: Your
mechanical speed control is compatible with Traxxas, Futaba,
and most other brands of radio equipment. The red wire is posi-
tive and the black wire is negative. Some Sanwa, Airtronics, and
Novak brand receivers have reversed positive and negative input
terminals. Always check your radio system's instructions to
ensure that the polarity is correct.)
Place fresh "AA" batteries in the transmitter and turn the power
switch on. Turn the throttle and steering trim adjustments to the
center position. Plug a freshly-charged battery pack into the
speed control. The servos will jump to their centered position.
Now, unplug the battery pack and turn off the transmitter. Be
careful not to move the servo shafts when installing the servo
horns later on.
