ADJUSTING YOUR MODEL

Adjusting the Toe-in

Geometry and alignment specs

play an important roll in your

model’s handling. Take the time

to set them correctly. Set the

steering trim on your transmitter

to neutral. Now, adjust your

servo and tie rods so that both wheels are pointing straight ahead and

are parallel to each other (0° toe-in). This will ensure the same amount of

steering in both directions. For increased stability add 1°-2° of toe-in to

each front wheel. Use the turnbuckles to adjust the alignment.

Adjusting the Camber

The camber angle of both the front

and rear wheels can be adjusted

with the camber rods (upper

turnbuckles). Use a square or right-

angle triangle to set the camber

accurately. The stock camber of

the front wheels is -1° of camber.

In the rear, the stock camber is

-1.5°. These adjustments should be

set with the truck positioned at its

normal ride height with a battery

installed.

Fine Tuning the Shocks

The four shocks on the model

greatly inﬂuence its handling. Whenever you rebuild

your shocks or make any changes to the pistons,

springs, or oil, always make changes to them in

pairs (front or rear). Piston selection depends on the

range of oil viscosities that you have available. For

example, using a two-hole piston with a lightweight

oil will, at one point, give you the same damping as

a three-hole piston with heavier oil. We recommend

using the two-hole pistons with a range of oil

viscosities from 10W to 50W (available from your

hobby shop). The thinner viscosity oils (30W or

less) ﬂow more smoothly and are more consistent,

while thicker oils provide more damping. Use only

100% pure silicone shock oil to prolong seal life. The

model’s ride height can be adjusted by adding or

removing the clip-on, spring preload spacers. Adjust

the ride height so that the suspension arms are slightly above being

parallel to the ground. Observe how the model handles in turns. Proper

setup will add stability and help prevent spin outs. Experiment with

different springs and shock oils to ﬁnd what works best for your current

track conditions.

Shock Mounting Positions

Big bumps and rough terrain require a softer

suspension with the maximum possible

suspension travel and ride height. Racing

on a prepared track or on-road use requires

a lower ride height and ﬁrmer, more

progressive suspension settings. The more

progressive suspension settings help reduce

body roll (increased roll stiffness), dive during

braking, and squat during acceleration.

The suspension of your model has been set

up for off-road performance (position 1 on

the front suspension arms and position 2

on the rear suspension arms). If you plan

on driving on hard surfaces, the following

changes should be made:

1. Move the front shocks to the outermost

position (2) on the suspension arms.

2. Move the rear shocks to the middle position (3) on the suspension arms.

3. Add a 4mm pre-load spacer to the front shock.

Centering Your Servo

If the trim controls on your transmitter seem off, you may need to re-center

your servo. Additionally, whenever your servo has been removed for

service or cleaning, it must be re-centered prior to installation in the model.

1. Disconnect the servo horn from the steering servo.

2. Connect the steering servo to channel 1 on the receiver. Connect the

electronic speed control (ESC) to channel 2. The white wire on the

servo lead is positioned towards the crystal.

3. Place fresh “AA” batteries in the transmitter and turn the transmitter

power switch on.

4. Turn the steering trim adjustment on the transmitter to the center “0”

position.

Disconnect the motor wires

. Connect a fresh battery pack to the speed

control and turn on the ESC (see page 13). The servo will automatically

jump to its center position. The servo horn may now be installed onto

the servo output shaft.

6. Check servo operation by turning the steering wheel back and forth to

ensure that the mechanism has been centered properly and that you

have equal throw in both directions. Repeat 1-6 if necessary.

Do not run your model with the

slipper clutch adjusting spring

fully compressed. The minimum

recommended slipper clutch

setting is 1/2 turn counter-

clockwise from fully compressed.
