  • Page 38: Checklist Before Your First Run

    BEFORE RUNNING YOUR NEW XXX-4 Graphite Plus Buggy for the first time, you should run down the following checklist — in order — and complete the listed tasks. I'm sure you're anxious to get out and run your new XXX-4 Graphite Plus now that it's built, but following this simple checklist will help to make your first run with your new car much more enjoyable.
  • Page 39 Front End: Shock Location: Leaning the shocks in (mounting them closer to the center of the tower) will give a smoother transition as you enter into turns and improve consistency but will yield less total steering and give a slower reaction. This might be helpful on high bite surfaces.
  • Page 40 Belt Tension: can be run a little looser on long tracks and with stock motors. It is normal for the belt to skip (2 or 3 clicks) under heavy braking without doing harm to the belt. Do not run the belt too loose or it will drag on the chassis and bottom cover resulting in decreased performance.
