SHIM 3x6x1 An optional 1-hole rear upright is available for fine tuning. This optional upright may be used on high-traction tracks or tracks with long sweepers, since the position of the center hole will allow faster driving through those corners because of better cornering speed.

SHOCK LENGTH ADJUSTMENT: #308031-O ALU XRAY SHOCK SPRING RETAINING COLLAR - ORANGE (4) It is VERY IMPORTANT that all shocks are equal length. Fully extend the shock absorber and measure the end-to-end length; we recommend using digital calipers to give an accurate measurement. If a shock absorber is shorter or longer than others, adjust the shock length by tightening or loosening the ball joint on the shock rod.

OPTION FLOATING FORWARD MOUNT SERVO HOLDER Optional floating forward mount servo holder set allows mounting of the 303129 servo holder to the chassis more forward which leads to increased steering SHIM 3x6x1 and steering response. Recommended for conditions where better steering response is needed. Makes the car more reactive but less stable.
