  • Page 19: Basic Principles

    B8RS Setup & Tuning Guide If you follow all the steps on the instruction manual, you should get a B8RS with the basic setup. This is the also the basic setup we suggest you to start from. With the basic setup, the B8RS should work properly on most off-road tracks and proper terrains.
  • Page 20 B8RS B8RS Check what other drivers are doing Please try to find out the current best lap times. These are good benchmarkers. Check the setup from other good drivers who drive the same car as you. You can save some try and error time.
  • Page 21 Setup & Tuning Tires Tires are the most and first choice you should make. If you've got the right tires, you're 90% there. Without suitable tires, the setup job will be very difficult. Always find out the best tires for the track first.

  • Page 22: Shock Mounting Position

    Setup & Tuning Damping Basic Setup: Front #400wt Rear #300wt Having the correct piston and shock oil combination is very important to shock tuning. A shock that has thinner shock oil and a piston with more (or large) holes will compress and rebound faster than a shock with thicker oil and less (smaller) piston holes.

  • Page 23: Front Differential

    Differential Setup There are three differentials on the B8RS: one for the front, one for the center, and one for the rear of the car. The effects that the diffs have in the handling of the car are noticeable; they can alter the way a car handles bumps, exits a corner, and accelerates.
  • Page 24 Setup & Tuning Wheelbase Basic Setup: 2mm The shorter the wheelbase the easier it is for the car to rotate in the corner. Also, when you adjust the wheelbase by moving the rear axles forward, more weight will be put over the rear axle of the car.
  • Page 25 Setup & Tuning Front Camber Basic Setup: Front -1 Camber describes the angle of the wheels as their tops lean to or away from the chassis. Negative camber means the tire leans inward at the top. We don't use positive camber. Front camber is largely affected by the caster angle.
  • Page 26 Setup & Tuning Toe-out Toe-in More steering entering a corner More stable Instant steering response Decrease steering into a corner Instability on bumpy/slippery Better steering out of a turn surfaces Front Roll Center Setup Roll center is determined by the car's suspension geometry. The roll center is a point around which the chassis rolls.
  • Page 27 Setup & Tuning Rear Camber Basic Setup: Rear -3 Camber describes the angle of the wheels as their tops lean to or away from the chassis. Negative camber means the tire leans inward at the top. We don't use positive camber. Normally, we adjust upper arm pivot ball to get the camber angle with the included 6mm flare nut wrench.
  • Page 28 Setup & Tuning Less Rear Toe-in More Rear Toe-in Higher top speed More straight line stability Breaking loose rear end Less top speed More steering More traction Less steering Rear Roll Center Setup Roll center is determined by the car's suspension geometry. The roll center is a point around which the chassis rolls.
  • Page 29 Setup & Tuning Rear Anti-Squat Rear anti-squat design is used to prevent the rear end from squatting down too much under acceleration. It also helps the car to have a quicker initial acceleration. The harder you brake or accelerate, the bigger the effect of anti-squat is. More Anti-Squat Less Anti-Squat A little more powering out of...
  • Page 30 Setup & Tuning More Droop Less Droop Better handling on bumpy tracks Change direction and cornering Consistent traction faster Land better after jumps Good for smooth surfaces Ride Height Basic Setup: Front 27mm Rear 29mm Ride height describes the distance of the car from the bottom of the chassis to the ground. To setup the ride height, you will need to have the car fully equipped.
  • Page 31 Setup & Tuning Lower Ride Height Higher Ride Height Quicker steering response Slower steering response Front Less chance of traction roll More traction More chance to traction roll Jump higher and farther More traction Rear More traction under braking Jump higher and farther Less chance of traction roll Rear Wing A bigger wing or at more of an angle can add rear downforce and generate more rear traction.
