User Guide (For Beginners)

Super GT Series uses the latest H-01 Chassis. By simple tunings, you can experience the power of

your vehicle. Now, let us explore the potential of this high-performance H-01 Chassis.

If you are a first time user or if you are not sure what to do, you may wish to talk to our technical

staff who will guide you through the process.

H-01 Chassis can be tuned by slightly adjusting the Adjustment Screw located under the vehicle.

However, although the process is simple, you may still come across some difficulties in reaching the

best performance. Please take some time to experience the behavior of different adjustments and

enjoy the process.

Necessary Tools

The following tools are required to tune your Slot-Car. You can get them in major DIY shops.

Screw Driver [+] (Small – 2mm diameter)

Screw Driver [+] (Size 1 – 4mm diameter)

Screw Driver [-] (8mm in width)

Maintenance Stage (Selling at major Slot-Car parts shop)

Removing the case

Use a cutter to carefully cut open the Scotch tape that attaches the outer sleeve and the plastic case,

and then remove the sleeve from the case.

After removing the sleeve, make sure:        

Four tires are in contact with the stand.

Front tires and rear tires are leveled.

Both sides are leveled.

Please contact the retailer who you purchased

from if you realize anything is unusual.

4 extra tires and a user guide are attached

underneath the vehicle stand, please confirm that

they are included in your set.

Page 2: User Guide (For Beginners)Place the Slot-Car back to the vehicle stand, press the middle of the vehicle to assure it is in position. Observing from the front, make sure the vehicle

Removing the vehicle from the stand

Remove the transparent plastic cover from Slot-Car stand.

Next remove the screw located under the stand until the vehicle detaches from the stand completely.

Please beware not to lose the screw as you will need it when attaching the vehicle back to the stand.

To prevent damage, please hold both sides of Slot

Car instead of the bottom.

Small parts such as antenna and side mirrors are

made by special materials to prevent damage during

impact.

*Now please make sure both of the front and back axles are balance. Contact the retailer who you

purchased from if they are not.

Follow the procedures below to begin tuning:

Tires Exchange

You may change the original display tires to the racing

tires which are included in the set. Please beware not

to bend the shafts during the tire exchange. The tires

for the front and back wheels are different. The one

which are slightly larger and softer are for the back

wheels.

1. Remove the original display tires from the wheels.

2. Fix the racing tires onto the wheels. The tires are slightly expandable for easy installation.

Adjustment to the front axle

Tools required: Screw Driver [+] (Size 1), Vehicle stand.

Page 3: User Guide (For Beginners)Place the Slot-Car back to the vehicle stand, press the middle of the vehicle to assure it is in position. Observing from the front, make sure the vehicle

M1 Height Adjustment Screw is to adjust the forward and backward position of the front axle, where

the M2 Clearance Adjustment Screw is to adjust

the front axle itself.

Height Adjustment

The Height Adjustment Screw (M1), adjusts the

height of the vehicle and the contact surface

between the vehicle and the course.

The contact surface between the front tires and

the course is determined by the height of the front axle.

1. Unscrew the Clearance Adjustment Screw (M2) from the front axle.

2. Tighten the Height Adjustment Screw (M1), and then slightly unscrew it by unwinding it two

times. Make sure the tires are in contact with the stand.

Movement Adjustment

Use the Clearance Adjustment Screw (M2) to adjust the grip.

1. Tighten the Clearance Adjustment Screw (M2).

2. Slightly unscrew by unwinding 2-3 times. Front wheels will then be loosened. Give the front

wheels 1-2mm movable space; however make sure the wheels are not in contact with the main

body.

Place the Slot-Car back to the vehicle stand, press the middle of the vehicle to assure it is in position.

Observing from the front, make sure the vehicle is balanced and both sides of the chassis are in

contact with the course surface.

Please beware that if the front axle is over tightened, the

suspension may become too weak which will result in

unstable movement on a bumpy surface. Furthermore,

depending on road conditions, force will have to be

shifted to the rear suspension for balancing. Please

explore different adjustments for the best performance.

Adjustments to the Rear Suspension

The rear suspension is installed on the suspension plate located in the bottom of the chassis, linked

with the rear axle where the motor,

rear shaft and tires are installed.

This part controls the entire

movement of Slot-Car. Different

adjustments such as tightening or

loosening it will have impact to the

vehicle’s movement. Let try it!

Caution: Please make sure the screw

driver is straight to the Suspension

Plate Adjustment Screw when applying force to it.

1. Tightened the Suspension Plate Adjustment Screw located in the bottom rear of the chassis.

2. By using a screw driver, slightly unwinding it again by 90 degrees to 180 degrees. 90 degrees is

a normal setting where 180 degrees is a loose setting. However please beware that setting the

screw too loose will result in accidental contact between the tires and the main body during a

corner. It will also cause speed reduction and course-out during the race.

One point about suspension settings

In a High-Speed Course:

Use a tight setting on a course where there are less corners and Slot-Car can be run with high-speed.

In the front axle, tighten the M3 Stroke Adjustment Screw, which gives less movement to the front

tires. The Suspension Plate can be tightened as well for higher speed.

In a course with many corners

When running on a course with many corners, loosen the M3 Stroke Adjustment Screw to give the

front tires more flexibility. Also gives the real axle a larger movement by loosening the Suspension

Plate. However, Slot-Car will tilt during a corner; the body could be in contact with the course

surface accidentally if the setting is too loose.

Magnet Adjustment

A magnet is installed behind the suspension plate on the H-01 Chassis. The height of the magnet can

be adjusted through Magnet Adjustment Screw S1.

1. By winding the S1 Magnet Adjustment Screw to the left, the magnet position will be lowered.

Vice Versa, by winding it to the right, the position will be raised.

2. For standard setting, the bottom of the magnet should be about 1mm apart from the bottom of

the chassis.

*Depending on course design, the magnet should be raised to a position where it is not in contact

with the course surface.

One Point: When the magnet is lowered, the grip will increase which will hold the Slot-Car on the

course, however the speed will be slower. Vice Versa, when the magnet is raised, Slot-Car will be

capable to travel in a higher-speed but the grip to the road surface will be reduced. Please try

different courses and settings to get a good balance!
