DECORATING YOUR MODEL
APPLYING THE DECALS
The main decals for your model have been applied at the factory. The decals are printed on self- adhesive clear mylar and are die- cut for easy removal. Use a hobby knife to lift the corner of a decal and lift it from the backing. To apply the decals, place one end down, hold the other end up, and gradually smooth the decal down with your finger as you go. This will prevent air bubbles. Placing both ends of the decal down and then trying to smooth it out will result in air pockets.
Look at the photos on the box for typical decal placement.
TIRE GLUING
The factory tires on your model are not glued to the rims. The instructions here are provided to show you how to glue tires to the rims if desired, but it is not necessary to run your model. If you plan to upgrade to the Velineon
1.Remove a wheel from the model using the larger (7mm) end of the universal wrench.
2. Use your thumb to push the side of the tire away from the rim. Place one or two
drops of CA glue into the opening and
release the tire. Capillary action will draw the glue around the bead of the tire.
3. Repeat step two at four or five points around the rim, until the tire is completely
secured to the rim. Turn the rim over and repeat the process for the inside of the rim/tire. Repeat for the other three wheels.
4.Reinstall the wheels, make sure none of the axle pins have fallen out from behind the hex hubs.
