SETTING UP THE XRAY NT1
Setting up a nitro-powered racecar with fully-independent suspension, clutch, and multi-speed transmission — like your XRAY NT1 — is necessary
to make the car perform well. We have developed the NT1 Setup Book to help you set up your NT1 properly and easily. Follow the procedures
carefully, and always make sure that you make equal adjustments on left and right sides of the car.
In addition to describing how to measure and adjust your NT1, the NT1 Setup Book contains detailed information about the effects of setting
adjustments so that you will have a better understanding of them.
Throughout the NT1 Setup Book, we refer to handling effects of the car in the corner, and distinguish three corner sections and three throttle/
brake positions as follows:
Car setup is a complex matter, as all adjustments interact. Fine-tuning your car’s setup will make it faster and often easier to drive near its
performance limit. This means that all the effort you put into preparing your NT1 and optimizing its setup will help pay off in better performance,
results, and satisfaction.
Chassis stiffness (especially torsional) is an important factor when setting up your car. A stiff chassis helps to eliminate chassis fl exing and twisting,
which would otherwise introduce another factor that is not easy to measure or adjust. However, chassis stiffness is also a setup tool. By altering
chassis stiffness (for example, using a different engine mount) you can make a “softer” or “stiffer” car that may be more or less suited to track
conditions or driving style. The NT1 features the exclusive XRAY Multi-Flex Technology™ engine mounting system which enables you to adjust the
chassis stiffness.
If you choose to adjust the setup of your NT1, make small adjustments one at a time, and see if you fi nd any improvement in performance and/or
handling with each adjustment. We advise you to keep track of your setup changes, and record which setups work best at different racetracks under
various conditions. You can upload your NT1 setup settings to the XRAY Online Virtual Setup Sheet Database at www.teamxray.com and access your
personal settings from anywhere in the world at any time. You can also benefi t from all the setup sheet knowledge and download setup sheets from
XRAY factory team drivers.
Remember that for your NT1 to work and respond to setup changes properly, it must fi rst be in good mechanical shape. Check the well functioning
of critical areas such as the free movement of the suspension, smoothness of shock absorbers, and adjustment and wear of clutch and transmission
parts after each run (and especially after a collision).
After rebuilding the chassis, or in case you become lost with your setup, always return to the last setup you have recorded, or use one of the NT1
setups posted by others.
When setting up your NT1, we strongly recommend using the HUDY All-In-One Set-Up Solution #108255,
