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.

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.

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.

Tuning Tips
Differential Fluids
Changing the viscosity of the fluid in the
differentials affects the way the car handles
and performs. 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.
