1. Use only four(4) AA alkaline batteries in your ATX100 transmitter.
2. Do not dispose of the battery in a fire as it may explode. Check with local codes for
possible special disposal instructions.
3. Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause
damage to the eyes and skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
4. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting
materials such as rings, bracelets and keys. The battery or conduction material may overheat and cause burns.
Caution: Risk of explosion
if battery is replaced by an
incorrect type. Dispose of
used batteries according to
the instructions.

Driving Fundamentals
We design all ARRMA cars to be fun and quick to get used to.
However, it is important to be comfortable with the handling
before exploring the upper reaches of your car's performance.
For the first run we recommend taking your kit to an open, flat
area (such as a park) ensuring you are away from potential
hazards, people or animals.
Start by simply driving round in a large loop, slowly building
up speed to get used to the handling. Alter the size of the loop
and your speed. Watch out for the rear-end of the car breaking
loose. If the car does slide try to counter-steer into the skid and
accelerate out or let-off the throttle and let it come to a stop.
To take a corner you need to slow down before the corner, hold
your speed through the curve and, once you see an exit line,
accelerate out of the corner.
Once you have practiced the basic driving techniques and you
are comfortable with the performance of the car you can start to
open-up the full performance potential of your car.

Ride Height
1mm
3mm
7mm
The ride height is set using preload
spacers between the top of the shock
and the top of the suspension springs.
These plastic clips are included in the
kit in 1mm, 3mm and 7mm versions.
Raising the ride height not only gives
you greater ground clearance when
running on more uneven surfaces but
it can also affect the chassis balance
of the car. Experiment by raising the
height of the front and rear at the
same time or independently and see
how it affects the handling of your car.

Camber Link Length
The camber links are the arms that link the top of hubs to the chassis. The
length can be adjusted to alter the camber of the front and rear wheels.
The adjustments and their effects are listed below:
Length Characteristic
Front
Shorter
Longer
Rear
Shorter
Longer
More negative camber, more stability, smoother
steering, slower response.
Less negative camber, more direct steering, quicker
response.
More negative camber, less forward traction, smoother
cornering, use for high grip surfaces.
Less negative camber, more forward traction, less
smooth cornering, good for low grip surfaces.
Steering Arm Length (Toe-In/Out)
The steering arm links are the connection between the front hubs and
the steering mechanism in the chassis. The length of these can adjust the
front toe-in/-out.
Adjusting the toe can create either toe-in, which is where the wheels point
inwards towards a centreline in front of the vehicle, or toe-out where the
wheels point towards a centreline behind the vehicle. The effect of these
adjustments is below:
Length
Characteristic
Standard
Shorter
Longer
Zero toe, standard setting, neutral handling.
Toe-Out, increasing cornering abilty, less stability on straights.
Toe-In, more stability on straights.
Camber Link Position
The camber links are the arms that link the top of hubs to the
chassis. The length can be adjusted to alter the camber of the front
and rear wheels.
The adjustments and their effects are listed below:
Position
Characteristic
Inner
Standard position, Less chassis roll, lower overall grip,
quicker to respond to inputs.
(Adjust camber link turbuckle to return camber to correct
angle) More chassis roll, more overall grip, slower to
respond to inputs.
Outer
Shock Position
The shock mounting position is where the bottom of the shock
mounts to the lower wishbone of the suspension.
Adjusting the angle of the shock can change the way the
suspension reacts to bumps and also cornering forces.
The effect of these adjustments is below:
Angle
Characteristic
Inner position
Softer damping, better over bumps, slower response,
more overall grip.
Stiffer damping, better on smooth surfaces, faster response, slightly less grip.

Springs
Your kit’s standard springs are quite soft to give

Swapping the springs for either softer or stiffer springs can alter
the handling characteristic of the car significantly. To change the
springs remove the lower spring support and slide the spring
over the shock body.

Gear Chart
Your ARRMA kit has one gear ratio and this can be altered by changing the pinion or spur gear in the
transmission. The standard gearing of your kit is designed to give the best compromise between speed and acceleration. Increasing the
top speed will reduce acceleration and vice versa. Too low or high a gear will put strain on the motor/ESC, and potentially damage them.

Standard Gear Ratios *1 = Raider/ADX-10 *2 = Fury/Mojave/Vorteks *3 = Granite
The numbers shown in chart is the number of times the spur gear is larger than the pinion, or the ‘gear ratio’. Essentially this is number
of rotations the motor/pinion gear has to rotate the larger spur gear once. The lower the ‘gear ratio’ the greater the potential top speed,
the higher the ‘gear ratio’ the greater the potential acceleration.
Upgraded motors/ESCs and non-standard wheels may require different gear ratios. Try to find the best balance between speed/
acceleration and handling/performance. For help selecting the correct gear ratio for your upgrades visit the GO FOR IT forums at

Differential Tuning
When turning a corner the inside wheel travels
a shorter distance than the outside wheel. A
differential allows the wheels to turn at different
speeds and take a corner more quickly.
Without a differential, on a high grip surface, the
inside wheel will lose traction and cause you to
spin-out. This effect is less noticeable on loose
surfaces, however a well setup differential will
make the car easier to drive and give more
predictable handling at speed.
Oil Weight
Characteristic
Thinner (Lower CST)
Looser differential action
Less stable under braking (into corners)
Faster steering into corner
More steering in corner
Greater chance of oversteer
More chance of wheelspin

Generally better for low traction surfaces
Thicker (Higher CST)
The differential is filled with silicone oil and the
thickness of this alters the operation of the
differential unit. As standard, your differential
is designed to provide safe, fun handling for advice on which oil to use please visit the
