:: Tuning Tips Tips for Beginners: Before making any changes to the standard setup, make sure you can get around the track without crashing. Changes to your vehicle will not be beneficial if you can’t stay on the track. Your goal is consistent laps. Once you can get around the track consistently, start tuning your vehicle.
:: Tuning Tips (cont.) Rear Hub Spacing: You have 3 options for rear hub spacing, FORWARD, MIDDLE, & BACK. The kit setting is FORWARD, which provides the most rear traction and will be used most often. For improved handling in bumps or rhythm sections, try moving the hubs to MIDDLE or BACK.
