1/16 E-REVO

TUNING ADJUSTMENTS

A camber gauge (available

at your local hobby shop)

can be a useful tool for

alignment setting.

To achieve a good starting

point for the slipper clutch,

tighten the slipper clutch

adjusting nut clockwise until

the slipper clutch adjusting

spring fully collapses (do not

over tighten), and then turn

the slipper clutch nut counter-

clockwise ¾ to 1 turn.

Static Camber Adjustment

The wheels can be set to have either

positive or negative camber (see

illustration below). The camber angle

changes as the wheel moves up and

down through its range of travel. Static

camber is the camber angle at the

wheel when the vehicle is set at its

normal, stationary ride height.

The suspension pivot balls located in the axle carriers adjust the

static camber. Camber is factory-set at negative 1-degree, with

the pivot balls threaded all the way into the suspension arms. To

adjust static camber, insert the supplied 2mm hex wrench into the

pivot ball (compressing the suspension until the arms are parallel

to the ground will allow for easier hex wrench engagement).

Negative camber can be increased by unthreading the lower pivot

ball. Zero camber or positive camber (not recommended) can be

achieved by unthreading the upper pivot ball. Note that camber

changes will also effect the toe angle of the wheel being adjusted.

Static Camber Base Factory Settings

Front: 1-degree negative camber each side

Rear: 1-degree negative camber each side

TRANSMISSION TUNING

Adjusting the Slipper Clutch

Your model is equipped with an

adjustable Torque Control slipper

clutch which is built into the large

spur gear. The purpose of the slipper

clutch is to prevent over-stressing

of the drivetrain and transmission

gears. It may also be used to regulate

the amount of power sent to the rear

wheels to prevent tire spin. When it

slips, the slipper clutch makes a high-

pitch, whining noise.

To adjust the slipper clutch, first

remove the receiver box cover. Next,

emove the single large hex screw

from the motor plate using the supplied 2.5mm wrench. Then

rotate the motor and mount to the side of the model.

The slipper

clutch is integrated into the main spur gear on the transmission.

The slipper clutch is adjusted using the spring-loaded locknut on

the slipper shaft. Use the supplied universal wrench. To tighten or

loosen the slipper nut, insert the 1.5mm hex wrench into the hole in

the end of the slipper shaft. This locks the shaft for adjustments. Turn

the adjustment nut clockwise to tighten (less slippage) and counter-

clockwise to loosen (more slippage).

Tuning the Sealed Gear Differentials

The 1/16 E-Revo’s front and rear gear differentials allow the left and

right wheels to spin at different speeds while turning so that the tires

do not scuff or skid. This decreases the turning radius and increases

steering performance.

The performance of the differentials can be tuned for different driving

conditions and performance requirements. The differentials are filled

with silicone differential fluid, and are sealed to maintain consistent

long-term performance. Changing the oil in the differential with either

lower or higher viscosity oil will vary the performance characteristics

of the differentials. Changing to a higher viscosity oil in the differential

will reduce the tendency for power to be transferred to the wheel

with the least traction. You may notice this when making sharp turns

on slick surfaces. The unloaded wheels on the inside of the turn have

Positive camber

Negative camber
