Summary of Contents for Predator X10

- Page 2 Welcome to the-pred.co.uk’s very own setup guide for the Predator X10. Although this guide is written based upon experience of the X10 and previous evolutions of the car, many, if not all of the tips found in here can be applied to your XRS.
- Page 3 Build Tips. The X10 and XRS Manuals are both very thorough publications, but everyone needs a little help sometimes. So this guide will try and cover some of those areas that owners have experienced problems. This area of the guide may well be a lit- tle late for some people who have purchased and built their cars already.
- Page 4 It is worth soaking all of the parts, such as the diff balls and diff halves in something like white Spirits or other degreasing agent prior to building the differential. This removes any of the residue left over from the manufacturing process, and ensures that all of the parts are as clean as you can hope for prior to building the differential.

Page 5: Adjusting The Slipper Clutch
The Slipper Clutch The slipper clutch is very easy to build as long as you follow the instructions in the build manual. Although one thing I do prior to building the slipper clutch is to soak the beville washers in some cleaning agent, such as white spirits to remove any residue left over from the manufacturing process. - Page 6 Rear Hubs. There have been issues with the rear hub breaking, after clipping a track marker, or another car. In some cisrcumstances, the wishbone is also broken. Obviously if this happens to you it’s a little annoying as your race is then run. The hub breaks at the bottom, where the castor links are screwed into place at the back, and where is attaches to the wishbone on the front.

Page 7: Front Shock Absorbers
X10 & XRS are exceptional. The rear shocks are pretty much “fit and forget”, and don’t often need adjusting, other than maybe the inclusion or removal of spring spacers - the suggested setups on the T.Tech setup sheets are spot on for the rear shocks... -
Page 8: Rear Shock Absorbers
Rear Shock Absorbers. Pre-Compression Spring This item is not supplied as standard with the XRS, but it is something that you should consider purchasing if you have got an XRS. The pre-compression spring is only used on the rear shocks, and makes a massive difference to the way the car handles - the compression spring is suggested to be used on all but the smoothest tracks in the T.Tech setups. - Page 9 Random Hints & Tips! Below are some random hints and build tips taken from www.the-pred.co.uk. Whilst the tips are no doubt useful, the-pred.co.uk cannot be held responsible for any damage you do to yourself or your car in carrying out these suggestions. Drill the hole in the front wishbone for the push rod right through the wishbone and fit a longer screw that just sticks out of the bottom of the wishbone or finishes flush with the bottom.

(This can be popped on and off easily, but doesn't come off on the track) Toe-in/out, rear This is a really useful adjustment on the X10, because the car is very sensitive to rear toe in angles. Due to the quick and easy nature of adjusting the rear toe in, it can be done mid-run track side if required for fine tuning. - Page 11 Spring position, rear Use the middle hole in the rear rocker for most conditions. Occasionally the bottom hole can be used with thick rear shock oil (60wt) for very rutted tracks. Upright pick up point, rear This is where the rear wishbone and toe link connect to the rear upright. Use the upper hole for medium to high grip.
- Page 12 Maintainence Along with every other competition spec car, the X10/XRS will give you it’s very best performance when everything is clean and free from dirt/grass/whatever. Most of this section is common knowledge, and it may seem stupied to include it at all, but there’s no harm in it being here, so here is the check-list for...
