Xray M18 PRO Supplementary Instructions

VERY IMPORTANT! READ THIS!
SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONS SHEET
Please note that the factory pre-assembled ball differential is pre-built but is NOT tightened. To enjoy long life and smooth performance of the differential, you need to break in
both front and rear differentials properly. You will need to run the car several times for a short time, and each time tighten both differentials a small amount.

DIFFERENTIAL SETTING

To tighten the differentials, remove the front/rear upper arms as described below, and use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the diff adjustment screw.

BREAK-IN PROCEDURE

1. Run the car for the fi rst time at only ¼ throttle for 30-60 seconds.
2. Tighten both front and rear diffs slightly by 1/16 turn.
3. Run the car again for 2 minutes at ¼ throttle.
4. Tighten both front and rear diffs slightly by 1/16 turn. The differential should still turn freely.
5. Run the car again for 5 minutes, this time up to ½ throttle.
6. Again tighten both front and rear diffs by 1/16 turn.
Now the differential should be tight enough. The differentials should still turn freely but it must slip with higher resistance.
REMOVING SCREW
Remove the screw from the top and bottom of the front steering block or rear upright.

TIGHTENING FRONT DIFF

arm to give access into the diff for adjustment with the included Phillips screwdriver.
