Enforcer 7 Direct Drive Manual

Thank you for purchasing the Enforcer 7 Sprint Car! Since its introduction in 1991 the Enforcer has consistently been the
most successful 1/10
th
scale sprint car competing on “high bite” dirt ovals across North America. The continued evolution
of the car over 25 years has led to the exciting new Enforcer 7, building on the strength of prior versions and adding
many new features.
This kit includes most of the parts required for the build. The following additional equipment must be added to complete
the car. (Be sure to check if the track you plan on racing at has any motor, battery or speed control restrictions.)
Surface transmitter and receiver (minimum 2 channel.)

Building tips
Parts are made with tight tolerance and held to the side of a “snug” fit as wear is expected over time. Try as we
may, occasionally a burr may remain in a part and fit more tightly than desired. It is ok to use 400 Grit Sandpaper
or a .125” drill to SLOWLY relieve a part from time to time. Suspension components should always pivot and swivel
freely but without too much slop.
A lite to medium strength (usually the blue variety) thread locking fluid is suggested for all parts where metal screws
thread into other metal parts. This will keep the screws from vibrating loose during operation and still allow the screw to
be removed if needed. Remember it only takes a very small amount of thread-lock to secure the screw.
Do NOT use power screwdrivers to drive screws into parts. The fast rotation speed can melt and strip plastic parts
or cross-thread into the aluminum parts.
Lightly sand the edges of the carbon fiber pieces using a medium grade sandpaper to avoid splinters. A thin bead of
Super Glue can be used to seal the edges of the carbon fiber for more protection against chips and splinters.
