  • Page 24: Ride Height

    Rear Toe-In: The TC7 allows rear toe adjustments in two positions: inner hinge pin, and outer hinge pin at the rear hub. In general, decreasing rear toe-in will decrease rear traction and increase corner speed.
  • Page 25 The camber link is used to set static camber at ride height, but it is also an effective setting to adjust roll center height and camber gain. The TC7 has three optimized length positions at the front, and six at the rear, for a wide range of camber gain adjustments.
  • Page 26 Note! Charts show left side cam positions from the left side of the car. Match right side cam position to left side cam position. Motor Gearing: The gear charts on the following page show final drive ratio numbers for the TC7. Refer to motor manufacturer’s suggested gear ratio for starting point. You may need to adjust the gearing according to your track size.
