Chassis Tuning

The Mini SCT has several adjustments available to you for
tuning the performance for your needs. Although there are
multiple shock positions and camber link locations provided,
we have built the model with the best overall settings. The
following are simple adjustments and easily maintained
settings to assure proper operation and performance. It is
advised when making any adjustment that you do so in small
increments and always check for other parts of the chassis
that are affected.
Slipper Adjustments
The Mini SCT is equipped with a slipper device offering
both traction control and protection for the transmission.
The slipper is primarily used to help absorb sudden impacts
on the drivetrain due to landing big jumps or when using
more powerful aftermarket motors and/or battery packs.
Additionally, it can be used to smooth out the flow of power
to the rear wheels and limit wheel spin when running on
extremely slick surfaces.
Increase
Slip
Adjustment is made by turning the 3mm adjustment nut
clockwise (to the right) to reduce the slip, or counterclockwise
(to the left) to increase the slip.

When adjusted properly, you should be able to hold the rear
tires firmly and barely be able to push the spur gear forward
with your thumb.
To track test, turn the Mini SCT on and place it on the
ground. As you push it backwards allowing it to roll freely,
punch the throttle. The slipper should slip no more than an
inch or two as it accelerates. With the included motor and
battery pack it should slip just a little. Make sure you replace
the gear cover before running.
Your transmitter is equipped with a steering rate control to
the left of the steering wheel. This advanced feature, usually
found only on competition-type radios, allows you to adjust
the amount the front tires move when you turn the steering
wheel. This is really helpful when you are on slick, as well as
high-traction surfaces.
Less Rate
If your Mini SCT turns too sharply and/or spins out easily,
try turning the steering rate down by rotating the knob
counterclockwise (to the left).
