You have now completed the assembly process of your new CustomWorks Rocket. In the next section of this manual you will find some basic setup hints and advice. It is important to remember that all tracks and racing surfaces are different. Therefore the suggestions we give you are general in nature and should by no means be treated as the only options. - Page 11 SETUP GUIDELINES: When looking for the “perfect set-up” it is important to remember 2 things... 1) Keeping things simple is best. 2) As you are making your set-up change, the track is changing too! Ask a local racer what the track usually does from begining to end, especially day to night.

Wheelbase (Front End): Wheelbase is the distance between the front and rear axles.
