HINT –THREAD THE HOLES IN ALL OF THE 5245 CHASSIS SPACERS WITH A 4-40 TAP IF YOU HAVE ONE AVAILABLE TO MAKE THE SCREWS HOLD BETTER.

HINT: BEFORE INSTALLING, HOLD THE 5377 KINGPIN BY THE THREADED END IN A HAND DRILL AND USE VERY FINE SANDPAPER, THEN METAL POLISH TO MAKE THE SURFACE OF THE KINGPIN SMOOTHER FOR A MORE CONSISTENT SUSPENSION. KEEPING THEM CLEAN AND RE-LUBED WITH SILICONE GREASE ALSO WILL MAKE THE HANDLING BETTER.

. HINT: RUN A 1/8 DRILL THROUGH THE HOLE IN THE 5351 STEERING BLOCKS AFTER INSERTING THE 5364 STUB AXLES AND/OR TRIM THE OUTER EDGES OF THE HOLES WITH A SHARP HOBBY KNIFE. MAKE SURE THEY SLIDE FREELY ON THE KINGPINS. ADD A LITTLE LIGHT GREASE OR SILI-CONE LUBE, INSTALL THE STEERING BLOCKS, THEN THE SPRINGS, WASHERS, AND E-CLIPS

HINT: SLIDE YOUR AXLE THROUGH THE BUSHINGS, ATTACH A DRILL TO ONE END, LUBE THE BUSHINGS WITH LIGHT OIL AND RUN IT FOR A WHILE TO BREAK THE BUSHINGS IN TO THE SUR-FACE OF THE AXLE. MAKE SURE TO KEEP IT OILED. AND SLIDE IT BACK AND FORTH A SMALL AMOUNT WHILE RUNNING. ADD THE OTHER SPACERS AND THE SET SCREW HUB. HINT: TIGHTEN THE SETSCREW LIGHTLY, REMOVE THE HUB AND GRIND OR FILE A FLAT SPOT WHERE THE SET SCREW HITS THE AXLE SO THE HUB WON’T SPIN ON THE AXLE UNDER LOAD. THIS IS A MUST IF YOU UPGRADE TO THE HYBRID SET SCREW HUB.

ASSEMBLY HINTS AND SUGGESTIONS

FRONT END

REAR AXLE AND HUBS

HINT: YOU CAN SCRATCH THE INSIDE SURFACE OF THE DIFF HUB WHERE IT TOUCHES THE ALUMINUM ADAPTOR A LITTLE WITH COARSE SANDPAPER AND USE A LITTLE SUPER GLUE TO KEEP THE HUB FROM SLIPPING ON THE ADAPTOR. ALSO TRIM AROUND THE EDGE OF THE HOLE IN THE OUTSIDE OF THE HUB TO MAKE SURE THE BALL THRUST BEARING SITS FLAT. YOU CAN ALSO SCUFF ONE SIDE OF EACH DRIVE RING TO KEEP THEM FROM SLIPPING AGAINST THE AXLE HUB OR ADAPTOR, BUT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TURN THEM OVER AND USE THAT SIDE AFTER THE BALLS EVENTUALLY WEAR A GROOVE IN THEM.

RACING & SETUP SUGGESTIONS

LEGENDS RULES DO NOT ALLOW A LOT OF MODIFICATIONS. SOME RACERS RUN THE CHASSIS WITH ALL OF THE CHASSIS SPACERS TIGHT. THE CAR WILL HANDLE WELL, BUT THE HANDLING CAN CHANGE IF YOU GET IN A WRECK AND TWEAK IT. YOU WILL HAVE TO RE-ADJUST IT AFTER THE RACE. OTHERS RUN THE CAR WITH ONLY ONE SPACER UNDER THE REAR AXLE TIGHT AND THE REST SLIGHTLY LOOSE. THE HANDLING WILL BE DIFFERENT, BUT WILL MORE LIKELY REMAIN THE SAME AFTER ALTERCATIONS WITH THE TRACK WALLS OR OTHER CARS. CHANGING FROM A COUPE TO A SEDAN BODY CAN ALSO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, EVEN ON A SMALL TRACK. THE CAR WILL TURN BETTER WITH A COUPE BODY AND A SEDAN BODY WILL REDUCE THE EASE OF TURNING BECAUSE OF THE LONGER FLAT SIDE. RUNNING YOUR DIFF TIGHTER WILL ALSO MAKE YOUR LEGENDS CAR PUSH, OR RESIST TURNING A LITTLE.

ABOVE ALL, KEEP THE FUN IN R/C LEGENDS RACING!

The reason for the development of R

/C LEG

END

S cars, and these rules is to create inexpensive racing for beginners and experienced racers alike. The w

hole idea is to put racing back to driving skill and care in car setup, rather than m

oney for the latest technology, the expense of which drives

most racers out of r/c racing.

We suggest setting up R

/C LEG

END

S racing with a separate class for

beginner drivers. They should be allowed to do alm

ost nothing to change the car. That w

ay they will spend their tim

e taking care of their car and Learning how

to drive better, instead of shopping for more m

otors and batteries to go faster (and crash harder). W

e realize that on certain tracks, gear ratios and tire compounds could be

changed to make the cars go faster. H

owever, the m

ost important item

to R

emem

ber is that we are trying to create an even and fun class of racing.

Keeping the legends stock w

ill give beginners a good, inexpensive place to start ( and stay if they w

ish) . TH

2. Absolutely no changes to the configuration of the chassis or cutting on

the chassis parts. No replacem

ent parts of graphite or other higher tech m

aterials. 3. A

ny location of receiver and speed control on top of the battery plate is A

llowed. Steering servo m

the long battery tray. 4. N

o changes in the steering blocks, axle, or springs. Shims are allow

ed on springs to stiffen front ends. M

ay also add the front kingpin brace ( 5240) to help prevent front axle breakage in severe w

recks. You m

ay put a w

asher behind the e-clip on the front axle to stop it from pulling thru

the steering block. 5. O

riginal front steering rods can be bent as needed, if the steering servo is m

ounted on the front axle plate. Double lock collars are allow

ed on each side of the steering linkage to prevent slippage. 5a.R
