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 BODY STOP SYSTEM The X4F features an adjustable front body upstop system incorporated into the new upper arm to prevent the body shell from bottoming out and hitting the ground during cornering. When the system is set correctly, it allows the body to be run lower without dragging on the ground to improve aerodynamic efficiency.
