:: Tuning Tips (cont.)

Front Camber Links:

Changing the length of the camber link is considered a bigger step than

adjusting the ball end height on the tower. Shortening the camber link

(or lowering the ball end) will give the front end less roll and quicken steering

response. Lengthening the camber link (or raising the ball end) will give the

front more roll and slower steering response. Longer camber links are

typically used on high grip tracks and shorter links tend to work better on

medium-grip loose tracks.

Caster:

Caster describes the angle of the kingpin as it leans toward the rear of the vehicle. Positive caster means the kingpin

leans rearward at the top. The supplied 30° caster blocks (#7922) are recommended in most cases.

For less corner entry steering and more exit steering, try the optional 25° blocks (#7919).

Rear Camber Link:

Changing the length of the camber link is considered a bigger step than adjusting

the ball end height on the rear chassis brace. Shortening the camber link

(or lowering the ball end) will give the rear end less roll and the car will tend to

accelerate or “square up” better. Lengthening the camber link (or raising the ball

end) will give the rear more roll and more cornering grip. Longer camber links are

typically used on high grip tracks, while shorter links tend to work better on

medium grip loose tracks. The kit setting is the best compromise of cornering grip

and acceleration.

Wheelbase Adjustment:

You have three options for rear hub spacing, Forward, Middle, & Back.

The kit setting provides the most rear traction, and will be used most often.

For improved handling in bumps or rhythm sections, try moving the hubs to the

Middle or Back position. This can also make the car handle better in 180° turns.

Rear Camber:

Camber describes the angle at which the tire and wheel rides when looked at from the back. Negative camber means

that the tire leans inward at the top. A good starting camber setting is -1°. Use the included #1719 camber gauge to

set your camber. Adding a small amount of positive camber, where the top of the tire is leaning out, will tend to improve

straight-line acceleration on loose tracks.

Anti-Roll Bars:

The optional #9635 rear anti-roll bar kit (also called the “swaybar”) allows you to add roll resistance to the rear end with

minimal effect on handling over bumps and jumps. It is an especially helpful tuning item on high-grip tracks

(try the gold bar). The silver and black anti-roll bars are typically used on medium-grip loose tracks.

Ride Height:

Ride height is the distance from the ground to the bottom of the

chassis. The standard front ride height setting is with the inner

and outer hinge pins of the front arms level on the same imaginary

horizontal line, or 30mm as measured from the bottom of the

chassis directly behind the front bumper.

The rear ride height setting you should use most often is with the

outdrive, driveshaft, and axles all on the same imaginary horizontal

line (reffered to as “bones level”) or 28mm.

Check the ride height by lifting up the entire car about 8-12 inches

off the bench and drop it. After the suspension “settles” into place,

measure ride height (Ride Height Gauge #1449). Raise or lower

the shock collars as necessary.

Front Camber:

Camber describes the angle at which the tire and wheel rides when

looked at from the front. Negative camber means that the tire leans

inward at the top. A good starting camber setting is -1°. Use the

included #1719 camber gauge to set your camber. Positive camber,

where the top of the tire is leaning out, is not recommended.
