Determine which of the 3 Spline Adapters fits your particular brand of servo by sliding it over the spline on top of the servo. Now align your Servo Saver over the spline so that the servo will have equal amounts of travel when mounted as shown in Figure #64.
  • Page 16 NOTE: For illustrative purposes the motor has been placed in the car. You will want to mount the motor when you have the clutch bell assembly attached. STEP #8: Now take the other Threaded Rod and thread on the Black Ball Cup roughly half way.
  • Page 17 Bag N Tire and Wheel Installation NOTE: In this step you will be using a fast drying super glue type adhesive to secure the tires and wheels to each other. Be very careful with this process as the glue can tend to run very easilly through the tire and may glue your finger to the tire or wheel before you know it.
  • Page 18 Cage and Body Mounting Step #1: Using the longer threaded side of the #5219 Cage Turnbuckle, thread it all the way into one of the #3235 Main Cage Halfs.

    You have now completed the assembly process of your new Custom Works Enforcer GSX kit. In the next section of this manual you will find some basic setup hints and advice. It is important to remember that all tracks and racing surfaces are different.
  • Page 23 Caster: Angle of the kingpin in relation to a vertical plane as viewed from the side of the car. Increasing the angle will make the car more stable out of the turn and down the straights and increase steering entering a turn. Decreasing the angle will make the car feel more “touchy”...
  • Page 24 Rear Toe-In: Front edge of car tires point toward the chassis as viewed from above the car. Increasing the angle toward the car will increase rear traction while decreasing front traction. Decreasing the angle will do the opposite. Wheelbase (Front End): Wheelbase is the distance between the front and rear axles. Running the entire front end assembly in the forward position makes the wheelbase longer and therefore more stable on long/fast tracks with flowing turns.
