Front Carrier Camber Location is another adjustment that is almost always run in the standard (outer) location.
This location keeps the car flatter with less roll. The outer location also helps the car stay tighter in turns with a more
precise steering feel. Moving the link to the inner hole will make the steering react slightly slower. The advantage to the
inner hole is that it can increase on-power steering and help the car get through bumps better.
Washers Under the Front Camber Link Ball Stud can be added or removed. This is one of the most
important adjustments on the Triple-X car. You should get a feel for how the number of washers affects the handling.
Adding washers will make the car more stable and keep the front end flatter. Removing washers will make the steering
more aggressive. This can be good in some conditions, but can also make the car difficult to drive in others. The best all-
around adjustment is with one washer — as per the assembly instructions.
Front Camber Link Length is another adjustment that is difficult to make a generic statement for as it can have
slightly different results on various conditions. The following is a summary of how this adjustment will usually impact
the handling of the Triple-X. A longer front camber link will usually make the car feel stiffer. This will help keep the car
flatter with less roll, but can make the car handle worse in bumpy conditions. A shorter front camber link will result in
more front end roll. This will increase high-speed steering and make the car better in bumps. Too short of a front link
may make the car feel twitchy or "wandery" — meaning that it may be difficult to drive straight at high speed.
Front Shock Location can be adjusted easily by simply moving top of the shock to another hole in the shock tower.
The standard location (center hole in the tower) works best on most tracks. Moving the top of the shock out one hole will
result in an increase in steering and the car will react quicker. Moving the top of the shock to the inside hole in the tower
will slow the steering response time and make the car smoother in bumps.
The bottom of the shock can also be moved in or out on the suspension arm. Moving the bottom of the shocks to the
inside hole in the arm will result in more low-speed steering and less high-speed steering. Mounting the shocks in the
inside hole will require limiters in the shocks to limit the travel, and the springs should be changed to stiffer ones.
Moving the bottom of the shocks to the outside hole will reduce overall travel, increase high-speed steering, and reduce
low-speed steering. This position may be good for oval tracks and high-traction surfaces.
Rear Shock Location can be changed just as easily as the front. Again, the standard location is the best place to start
for most tracks. Moving the top of the shock in on the shock tower results in less side-bite (traction in corners) but makes
the car smoother in bumps. Moving the top of the shocks to one of the two outside holes will give the car more forward
traction and side bite as well as keeping the car from bottoming out on big jumps. A softer spring should be used if the
shocks are mounted in one of the two outer holes in the tower.
Moving the bottom of the rear shocks to the outside hole in the arm will improve stability but may not handle bumps
as well. You may also notice that the car is faster in the turns. The downside is that the car will not straighten out — or
"square up" — as well.
Rear Anti-Squat is one of the most commonly used adjustments of the Triple-X. As per assembly instructions, there
is 2 degrees of antisquat. Adding the shims under the front of the block will result in 4 degrees. This will result in less
side-bite, which will cause the car to have more steering from the rear end. It will also give the car more forward traction
and get more air off of large jumps. Adding the shims to the rear of the pivot block will result in 0 degrees of antisquat.
This will have more side bite but will have less forward traction and get less air off of jumps.
Rear Hub Spacing can be adjusted by moving the spacers at the front and rear of the hub carrier. You will probably
find that the middle (standard) location works best on just about every track. Spacing the hub back might help on large,
high-speed, outdoor tracks. Spacing the hub forward might help on tight, indoor tracks.
Battery Location is sometimes overlooked, but can be a useful adjustment. Start by running the battery spaced
forward. Moving the battery back can improve rear traction on slippery tracks. Moving the battery back too far can
cause the rear end to swing though turns on some tracks. This is a result of having the weight too far back.
We are sure that you will find the Triple-X to be the most versatile and easiest car to drive fast with great consistency. We
at Team Losi hope this information helps you to enjoy your Triple-X and racing as much as we do. For the latest in setup
