kit includes the following features:  
• A full set of factory parts to assemble your car.  
• Hard plastic storage case to protect and carry your XMODS.  
• A digital proportional radio controller with built-in steering and throttle trims for precision  
driving under varying track conditions.  
• A switchable controller for left- and right-handed drivers.  
• A collapsible radio controller for easy carrying and storage.  
• Redistributable weight so you can optimize driving performance and handling.  
• Low weight balance enables sharp cornering—20-inch cornering diameter.  
• Faster speed—880 feet per minute!  
• Sharper response for acceleration, braking, and steering.

Battery Notes  
When you notice the LED dims or the range of your car decreases, replace the battery.  
Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury batteries.  
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.  
Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or  
rechargeable batteries of different capacities.  
|
If you do not plan to use the vehicle for several days, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak  
chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

Steering Range  
Care  
• Keep your XMODS car and controller dry; if they get wet, wipe them dry immediately.  
• Use and store only in normal temperature environments.  
• Running your XMODS continuously for long periods can generate high heat levels.  
• Handle your XMODS car and controller carefully and do not drop them.  
• Keep away from dust and dirt. You can wipe your car and controller with a damp cloth occasionally to  
keep them looking new.  
• Modifying or tampering with your XMODS’ internal components can cause a malfunction and might  
invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your XMODS is not performing as  
it should, take both the car and the controller to your local XMODS dealer for assistance.  
Set S T RANGE to adapt your car’s steering angle to different track conditions. Set it to MAX  
(right) for sharp turns and to MIN (left) for loose turns.  
Throttle Trim  
Set TH TRIM on top of the controller to control your car’s acceleration. Set it to LO for  
maximum maneuverability on a race track with lots of curves and HI for maximum speed.  
Steering Trim  
If your car does not drive straight when you release the steering wheel, adjust S T TRIM on top of  
the controller. Place the vehicle on a block or turn it over so the tires do not touch the ground. Turn  
the transmitter and vehicle on, and press L or R S T TRIM until the tires point directly forward.  
Additional Notes  
• XMODS Street car bodies and chassis are not compatible with 1st Generation or EVO series. All parts are  
compatible only with XMODS Street products.  
• CB radios and other RC controllers could interfere with your ability to control the car. If this happens,  
increase the distance between the interfering devices until normal control of your vehicle resumes.  
(Note: S T TRIM will revert to the factory setting when the controller is turned off.)  
When You Finish Driving  
• Slide the power switch on the controller to the OFF position.  
• Slide the power switch on the bottom of the car to the OFF (rear) position.  
• You cannot operate your car near devices with controllers that use the same frequency. The frequency

Troubleshooting  
RF Emissions Information  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part  
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference  
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not  
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.  
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does  
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off  
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:  
Vehicle does not move or cannot be steered.  
• Batteries for vehicle and/or controller are week or dead. Replace the batteries (or recharge if  
you are using rechargeable batteries for the vehicle).  
Note: When the power light on the controller blinks, the battery is low. Replace the battery.  
• Static discharge might have caused controller malfunction. Turn the controller off and then  
back on.  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
• Check the wheel mechanisms for lint, thread, hair, or dust.  
• Move closer to the vehicle and try again.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

authority to operate the equipment.  
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This  
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including  
interference that may cause undesired operation.  
Vehicle does not drive straight even when you release the steering wheel.  
• Adjust S T TRIM on the controller. See “Steering Trim” on Page 14.  
Controlling range seems to become shorter.  
• Check the frequency of neighbor driver’s vehicle. The same or adjacent frequency vehicles  
Frequency range: 26.975 – 27.255 MHz. Field strength: 27.125 MHz – 75.3 dBμV/m at 3 m.
