Quick Start Guide Page 7 Engine Starting and Break-in Your First Runs If this is your first gas car, we highly recommend that you have an experienced gas car driver help during the first startups and runs. He will be able help you properly adjust your engine for break-in and then tune your engine for reliable performance. Before attempting to start your new buggy, be sure to read this section and fully understand each step before starting your engine. Pay particular attention to the needle settings recommended for starting and to the break-in procedures suggested below. Using the Proper Fuel and Glow Plug Fuel and Glow Plug Note: Using the proper fuel and glow plug is vital in achieving reliable performance and is a must for long engine life. You must use fuel and glow plugs that are specifically designed for model car use. Never use any type of model airplane glow fuel! We recommend a high-quality car fuel containing 20% nitro methane (Blue Thunder 20% Sport fuel is recommended). A glow plug is included that is ideal for breaking-in your new engine. During the break-in process, it’s not uncommon to go through one or two glow plugs, as microscopic particles of metal (from the cylinder/piston wearing in) bond themselves to the plug element causing glow plug failure. We recommend the Sportwerks #3 Glow Plug (SWK8058) as the best replacement glow plug for this engine. Page 8 Air Filter A clean, properly oiled air filter is a must to keep dirt out of the engine. Using the included air filter oil, spread the oil uniformly onto the air filter allowing it to saturate the foam element. The Sportwerks Carburetor The Sportwerks .26 engine features a slide-valve carburetor and includes three inserts of various diameters. These carburetor inserts are used to alter the power curve of the engine. The three diameters included have the following effect: 6.5mm 7.5mm 9mm – Gives smooth controllable acceleration; offers best fuel mileage; best-used for slick tracks/ surfaces or beginning gas drivers. – Develops good mid-range power; easier to control than the 9mm insert; best for medium traction, average-sized tracks/areas. – Offers explosive, sometimes difficult to control acceleration; uses the most fuel; used only for high traction, large track/open areas; for expert drivers only. Setting the needles While the needles are preset at the factory, it’s a good idea to verify that the needles are properly set slightly rich for break-in. Following are the recommended starting settings: High-Speed Needle: 3 1/2 turns out (counterclockwise) from closed Low-Speed Needle: 2 turns out (counterclockwise) from closed. Note: When checking the adjustment of the low-speed needle, it is crucial that the throttle slide is closed completely and that you do not over-tighten the needles. When you feel resistance, immediately stop turning. This is the closed position. High-Speed Needle Valve Lean Carb Insert Low-Speed Needle Valve Idle Screw Lean Page 9 Starting Your Engine For The First Time Break-in The first startups and the first several minutes that your engine is running is the most critical time of it’s life and, in many ways, dictates how well it will perform and how long it will last. During the first runs, when the engine starts, the exhaust should emit blue/white smoke, indicating that the engine is rich (a good thing during break-in). During the first tank of fuel, you may wish to set a higher than normal idle speed in order to keep the engine from stalling. Drive your buggy while “blipping” the throttle and avoid operating the engine at full throttle for more than 2–3 seconds at a time. Run the entire first two tanks of fuel in this manner. After the first two tanks of fuel, begin leaning out the high-speed needle valve 1/8 turn at a time. It generally takes about 5 or 6 tanks of fuel before you’d want to start tuning for “maximum” power. Patience during break-in will be rewarded with an engine that performs reliably and to its maximum power potential. Remember, glow plug failure is a common occurrence when breaking in a new engine. To test your plug, let the engine idle at a properly adjusted low-speed needle setting with the glow igniter attached. Then, remove the igniter. If you hear no appreciable change in engine RPM, the plug is still good. If the engine loads up and the RPM’s decrease, it’s time to replace the glow plug. Starting the Engine Step 1 Fill the tank with fuel Step 2 Turn on the transmitter and receiver and confirm that the radio system is working properly. Step 3 Attach the glow driver to the glow plug. Step 4 Fully insert the electric start shaft into the back of the engine. Press the start button for ten seconds then stop. The engine should turn over but likely won’t yet start. Continue these ten second starting attempts several times until the engine starts. Note: Should the engine not turn over when the electric starter is applied, the engine may be flooded (hydro-locked). Excess fuel in the combustion chamber can prevent the piston from traveling through its full range of compression, effectively “locking up” the engine. Should this occur, remove the glow igniter from the plug and, using a glow plug wrench (DYN2510), remove the glow plug and turn the model upside down. Give the starter a few short blips to clear the fuel from the combustion chamber then re-install the glow plug and try again. Page 10 You may find it necessary to “blip” the throttle on the transmitter (applying throttle on/off) while trying to start the engine, as new engines are more difficult to start due to the tight piston/ cylinder fit. Never start an engine above 1⁄4 throttle or damage to your engine could occur! Adjusting the Carburetor Tuning your Engine Fine-Tuning Your Engine Tuning the Low-Speed Needle When tuning the needle valves for maximum performance, adjust them in small increments, 1⁄16 turn at a time. An engine should not be run too lean; doing so severely shortens the life of the engine. When an engine is set too lean, it will run very strong at first but will soon begin to sag and hesitate or stall when accelerating. The best way to tune an engine is by using an infrared temperature gauge, but you can also use water to check the head temperature. (Refer to “Fine Tuning Your Engine”) As you gain experience, you’ll be able to tune your engine based on the engine’s sound and feel during acceleration and at full throttle. Until you’ve developed this skill, we recommend the following method of engine tuning. Start your engine and drive your buggy aggressively for about two minutes. Place a drop of water on the cylinder head. If the water sizzles away (evaporates immediately), the needle setting is too lean. A correct needle setting will result in the water evaporating slowly, in about 5–10 seconds. If the water does not evaporate, the needle setting is too rich. Lean the high-speed needle 1/8 of a turn and run the engine again, adjusting the needle setting to get the desired evaporation rate of 5–10 seconds. Check the temperature each time you change the needle mixture. Do not let the engine overheat, as this will damage the engine! The low-speed needle (also referred to as the idle mixture or idle needle) should be set after you’re satisfied with the high-speed needle setting. After achieving the engine’s proper operating temperature, reduce the engine throttle to idle for about 15 seconds. Now pinch the fuel line with your fingers close to the carb fuel inlet nipple while carefully listening to the engine RPM. If the engine dies immediately without an increase in RPM, the lowspeed needle is set too lean. If the RPM ’s increase dramatically and then the engine dies, the setting is too rich. The ideal setting results in the RPM ’s increasing a slight amount (about 200 RPM’s) after pinching the fuel line before dying. Page 11 Setting the Idle RPM The last setting to be made is the idle RPM. Turning the idle stop screw clockwise increases the idle speed; whereas turning the screw counterclockwise will make the engine idle at a lower RPM. Ideally, the engine should idle just fast enough to give a reliable idle but not engage the clutch and, of course, never flame out. After Run Engine Maintainance After you’re finished racing for the day, it’s important to empty the fuel tanks and run the remaining fuel from the engine. Continue to try to start the engine for several seconds after it will no longer fire to ensure that all fuel is out of the engine. Put several drops of after run oil in the carburetor and turn the engine over on the starter box for several seconds to coat the internal engine parts with after run oil. Clean the air filter regularly, using warm soapy water then allowing it to air dry before applying air filter oil. Keeping your air filter clean and oiled is vital to the life of your engine. Page 12 Brake Linkage Setup Although the break linkages are pre-set at he factory, it may be necessary to adjust them if you take the vehicle apart for cleaning or maintenance. The following covers the installation and adjustment of the linkages in such instances. Step #3 Step #7 Be sure the ball links are snapped onto the front and rear brake and on the carburetor. With the throttle at neutral, pull the front (silver knob) brake linkage through the molded pivot such that the front brakes are slightly applied. Loosen the setscrew on the silver adjusting knob and slide it into position such that it just contacts the molded pivot and retighten the setscrew. Note: It may be necessary to adjust the position of the throttle return spring to allow the ball link to snap on the ball. Step #4 Adjust the position of the return spring collar until the correct tension is achieved. With the throttle at neutral, the spring should just close the carburetor barrel with light tension. Step #5 Loosen the setscrew in the blue knurled knob and slide the knob such that it just contacts the molded pivot on the arm; retighten the setscrew. Step #6 Step #1 Turn on the radio system and adjust the throttle trim to the desired neutral position. Step #2 Install the arm with attached linkage on the servo adapter such that the brake linkage will be parallel to the arm with the brake ball links attached. Adjust the full throttle position with the programming in your transmitter such that the carburetor is full open just as the trigger reaches the full throttle position. By rotating the blue throttle knob, you can now precisely adjust the throttle dead band (the amount the throttle moves before the carburetor barrel actually opens) without disturbing the spring preload settings. Page 13 Step #8 With the throttle at neutral, pull the rear (red knob) brake linkage through the molded pivot such that the rear brakes are slightly applied. Loosen the setscrew on the red adjusting knob and slide it into position such that it just contacts the molded pivot and retighten the setscrew. Step #9 Cut off the excess lengths of linkage to clear the body. By rotating the silver adjusting knob, the front brakes can be accurately adjusted; rotating the red knob will affect the rear brake adjustment. Initial Brake Adjustment With the radio on and the throttle trim at neutral, adjust the front brake using the silver adjusting knob until it just starts to apply pressure to the front tires. Now back the front brake off one turn. Adjust the rear brake using the red adjusting knob until it just starts to apply slight pressure to the rear tires then back the rear brake off 1/2 turn. These are the neutral starting settings for the front and rear brakes.

The Mayhem differentials come pre-filled with 5000 wt. fluid in the center and front and 1000 wt. fluid in the rear. For most conditions, this is a good place to start. Center: Changing the fluid in the center differential affects the front to rear drive. To conceptually understand how the center differential affects handling, think of it as frontwheel vs. rear-wheel drive. Heavier fluid gives more rear-wheel drive effect, resulting in more acceleration and more on-power steering. Lighter fluids in the center differential allow the front tires to unload during acceleration, giving more front-wheel drive and reducing power-on steering. When your car under-steers during acceleration, try switching to a heavier fluid in the center differential. When your car over-steers during acceleration, try switching to lighter weight diff fluid in the center. Typically the optimum center differential fluid is between 3,000 to 10,000 wt. depending on track conditions (slick surfaces = lighter center diff fluid). Front: The viscosity of the fluid in the front differential affects overall steering authority. Heavier fluid reduces steering while lighter fluid gives more steering. However, if the fluid used in the front diff is too light the steering can become inconsistent, especially when accelerating from corners. Typically the optimum front diff fluid is between 3000 and 7000 wt. Rear: The fluid in the rear differential affects cornering traction and overall steering. Lighter fluid in the rear diff gives more cornering traction and more steering, while heavier fluid reduces rear side bite while reducing steering authority. Some racers replace the fluid in the rear differential with thin grease for even greater rear cornering traction. Nearly all racers use 1000 wt. fluid or light grease in the rear differential to get maximum rear end traction. Choosing Tires The single most dramatic factor affecting your car’s handling is tires. Before you begin changing your setup, it’s important to choose the best tires for the conditions. While experimenting with various tread designs, compounds and liners is the optimum way to find the best combination, it’s time consuming. If time is limited, find out what tires the fast guys are using and duplicate their selection. Caster The Mayhem offers two caster positions: arms forward and arms rearward. Moving the clip in front of or behind the upper front arms easily changes caster position. The rearward position gives slightly more steering in the midsection and exiting turns, while reducing the steering on entry. The arms forward position gives more steering at corner entry, while slightly reducing the midsection and exit cornering authority. Page 39 Shock Locations The Mayhem offers three lower rear shock positions and two lower front positions. Several upper shock locations are available. Lower Shock Positions: Moving the lower shock mounting position will change the suspension’s mechanical advantage. Moving the mounting position inward has a similar effect as using softer springs and lower weight oil. Moving the lower mounting position outward is similar to stiffening the spring rate and increasing the oil weight. If the suspension is too soft (bottoming out), moving the lower shock outward will increase the rate. If the suspension is too hard (lack of traction), moving the lower suspension mounting position inward will decrease the rate giving more traction. Remember the optimum setting is a fine balance between the front and rear. Upper Shock Positions: Moving the upper shock mounting position inward gives a more progressive spring and damping rate. Progressive rate means as the shock is compressed, the spring and dampening rates increase more quickly. Standing up the shocks “to their outer mounting positions” gives more linear dampening and spring rate. Note: There are two sets of upper mounting positions located on the shock tower. The uppermost holes are used when the shock is positioned in the inner mounting position on the arms. The lower set of holes is used when the shocks are mounted in the outer suspension’s arm positions. © 2004 Horizon Hobby, Inc. 4105 Fieldstone Road Champaign, Illinois 61822 (877) 504-0233 www.horizonhobby.com 6607
