:: Building Tips

Tires:

The tires need to be glued to the wheels using any fast-curing FT Tire glue (CA) (AE Pt#1597). This is available at your

local hobby shop. Make sure to clean the mounting surface of the tire with alchohol for best adhesion.

Gear Mesh:

To correctly set your gear mesh, follow the steps below:

1. Loosen engine mount screws so you can slide your engine and mount.

2. Slide engine and mount until the clutchbell gear comes in contact with the spur gear. Tighten engine mount screws.

Hold the spur gear in place and ‘rock’ the clutchbell gear. There should be a little ‘free-play’ between the gears.

3. If you have a small amount of ‘free-play’, continue building your RC8.2. If not, go back to Step 1.

Receiver Pack:

Your RC8.2 does not come with a receiver pack. It is recommended that you use a 5-cell 1600mah pack (minimum) in

either stick (AE Pt #612) or hump (AE Pt#613) pack configuration (your RC8.2 will accepteither). Charge your pack per

the battery manufacturer’s instructions. This will need to be done before you can setup up your RC8.2.

Engine Tuning:

Follow the manufacturers instructions to correctly tune your engine. You will need to adjust the fuel mixture according to

altitude, weather, etc.

Body :

Your RC8.2 comes with a clear

polycarbonate body. You will need to

prep the body before you can paint

it. Wash the inside thoroughly with

warm water and liquid detergent.

Dry using a clean, soft, lint-free

cloth. Use the supplied window

masks to cover the windows from

the INSIDE (RC cars get painted

from the inside). Using high quality

tape, apply to create a design to the

inside of the body. Spray (either can

or airbrush) the paint to the inside

of the body (NOTE: use ONLY paint

that is recommended for use with

(polycarbonate) plastics. If you don’t,

you will destroy the plastic body!!!!).

After painting, cut the body along

the trim lines. Make sure to cut

holes for the engine head, body

mounts, antenna, fuel tank lid, top

end adjustment needle and muffler

outlet.

Tires: (not included in kit)

Your tires need to be glued to the

wheels using a fast-curing Tire glue

(CA) (AE Pt#1597). This is available

at your local hobby shop. Make sure

to clean the mounting surface of the

tire with alchohol for best adhesion.
