Page 10: Chassis Tuning
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 Sprint on and place it on the ground. As you push it backwards allowing it to roll freely, punch the throttle. - Page 11 Ride Height This is the height the chassis sits and runs at. Spring spacers included with the Mini Sprint, when installed between the shock top and spring, will increase the pre-load on the spring and raise the chassis. You may want to try this when running on extremely rough surfaces.
- Page 12 Changing to a smaller pinion will give you quicker acceleration and possibly a bit longer run time. This would be good for short layouts or when running hotter motors. The pinion on the Mini Sprint offers the best balance of both. To change the pinion, loosen the motor screws, and slide the motor back.
