• Check the main needle of the carburator is correctly set-up. The engine will be difficult to start and run if the
needle is not set correctly.
• Check the air filter and muffler are fitted correctly. Never drive the car if one of both elements are not properly
fitted as this can cause serious damage to your engine.
• Check that all fuel tubes are in good condition.
• Use a little of oil or grease on turning parts if necessary. Never oil or grease the main gear.
• Fill the fuel tank with special model engine fuel. (DAYTONA 10%, never use another type of fuel not designed
for model use)
• Start the engine (See paragraph " Starting & Running-in")
AFTER EVERY USE
• Turn off the swith on the car before turning off the transmitter
• Make sure the fuel tank is empty. (Never leave fuel in the fuel tank)
• Clean the car with a brush and towel. (Never use water to clean the car)
• Check the condition of the air filter, and replace if necessary the foam insert.
• Check the shock absorbers.
• Check if the air filter and muffler is correctly fitted.
• Check all nuts, bolts & screws are properly tightend.
• Use a little of oil or grease on turning parts if necessary. Never oil or grease the main gear.
HOW TO START THE ENGINE
1. Fill the fuel tank
2. Turn the main needle (1) fully closed (clockwise) and re-open 4 full turns
3. Push 5 to 6 times on the pump of the fuel tank
4. Connect the glowstart to the glowplug. Leave the glowstart on and pull the throttle trigger on your trans
mitter to about half throttle
5. Start the engine by using small but sharp pulls on the pull starter. Never pull the cord more than 25 cm
6. If the motor doesn't start straight away... STOP. If the engine will not turn over, there is too much fuel
inside the engine. Unscrew the glowplug and pull a few times on the pull starter to clear out the excessive
fuel. Becarefull not to get fuel in your eyes. Blow on the glowplug to clear the fuel from the glow element.
Remount the glowplug and restart at step 4
RUNNING-IN THE ENGINE
The first needle to set up is the main needle (1) that controls the flow of fuel at full throttle. Before running
your engine turn the main needle(1) clockwise until it is closed. When the needle (1) is fully closed, turn the
main needle (1) two turn's open(anti-clockwise),this is the running in position. Now try to start the car as
described above. The engine should run rich ( a lot of smoke), drive the car very gently in the beginning to let
the motor warm up. The engine will not produce a lot of power but we recommend keeping these settings for
the first 3 fuel tanks
SETTING-UP THE ENGINE
Once you have run the car for 3 fuel tanks you can begin to lean the motor out by turning the main needle (1)
clockwise. Only turn 1/8 of a turn at time, as you turn the main needle (1) inwards the RPM will raise. If you
turn it too far the motor will begin to lose RPM and stop when you give full throttle. If this happens then you
must open (anti-clockwise) the main needle (1) again until the motor runs with not too much smoke. Once
you have the top end set up you can adjust the low-end needle (2). You do this by running the car at idle for
around 10 seconds and then give full throttle, if the motor stutters and picks up RPM slowly then the low end
needle (2) is too rich (to much fuel) you must turn the low-end needle (2) inwards (clockwise). If the motor
picks quickly but then begins to die as you open the throttle, the low-end needle (2) is too lean (not enough
fuel). You must open the low-end needle (2) (anti-clockwise)
The adjustment of the main needle (1) and the low-end needle (2) can effect each other, so when you adjust
one needle you might need to adjust the other needle. Once the engine is correctly set-up, you must adjust
the throttle stop screw (3), which adjusts the tick-over speed of the engine. Adjust the tick-over of the engine
as low as possible without the engine stopping.
ATTENTION : TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR ENGINE, IT IS BETTER TO RUN YOUR ENGINE
TOO RICH THAN TOO LEAN.
