Spring position, rear Use the middle hole in the rear rocker for most conditions. Occasionally the bottom hole
can be used with thick rear shock oil (60wt) for very rutted tracks.
Upright pick up point, rear This is where the rear wishbone and toe link connect to the rear upright. Use the
upper hole for medium to high grip. This gives a higher roll centre and gives incredible power on stability
through fast corners. Use the lower hole for medium to low grip. This lowers the rear roll centre and causes
more pivoting action mid corner, and therefore useful extra steering for lower grip.
Caster, front This is adjusted by moving the upper front wishbone backwards or forwards using M3 washers.
For 95% of tracks use in the maximum (right back) position. Reduce the caster for very high grip tracks, to give
more predictable mid corner front end grip.
Anti Roll Bar (Sway Bar), front The stiffness of the roll bars can be adjusted by moving the pick up points in
the lower wishbones. The shorter positions create a stiffer roll bar and the longer positions a softer one. Use the
front roll bar only for exceptionally high grip tracks such as Astroturf in mid summer,
or flat track carpet.
Anti Roll Bar (Sway Bar), rear The stiffness of the roll bars can be adjusted by moving the pick up points in
the lower wishbones. The shorter positions create a stiffer roll bar and the longer positions a softer one. Use the
rear roll bar set in the softer (longer) position 90% of the time. The stiffer position is useful particularly for
rutted loose surfaces. It creates more consistent grip at the back, by preventing the rear wheels dropping into
holes in the track surface and gives extra mid corner steering.
Wing, front The front wing makes a useful difference, even at fairly low speeds. To increase front end grip,
particularly in high speed corners, you can adjust the front wing angle, by placing a spacer between the gear-
box top and the front wing. Use spacing of between 0 - 2.0mm. More than this is counter productive because it
would cause air to be tipped over the top of the rear wing and will bring the front wing close to its stalling angle.
Your front wing has been carefully developed to create downforce mainly from its outer edges. The central air
stream is only minimally effected and is allowed to pass cleanly onto the rear wing.
Wing, rear The rear wing's effect can also be subtly adjusted by moving it backwards or forwards. Use the stan-
dard marked position for most tracks and conditions. For very high grip tracks, the rear wing may be moved
backwards. This places the rear wing into cleaner air at high speed, and moves the centre of effort backwards
which gives great high speed stability and progressive steering. Move the rear wing back 6 - 8mm by making
two new holes in the wing.
SUMMARY
Very high grip - Reduced front caster, lots of negative camber, stiffer front oil & springs, use upper holes on
rear upright, minimal rear toe in, rear wing back.
Medium grip - Maximum caster, less negative camber, medium shock oil with 6.0t black front springs
medium rear toe in.
Low grip - Maximum Caster, soft front oil and springs, no neg camber, slight front toe out, use lower holes on
rear upright, increased rear toe in, 6.5t front springs, increased front wing angle.
