TRACK SETTINGS RIDE HEIGHT Use the spring adjusters on the shock absorbers to adjust the front and rear ride heights. With the car level, we recommend setting the ride height between 16-18mm on astro, 20-21mm on dirt and 12-14mm on carpet.

REAR SHOCK MOUNT See Page 10 Bag C - Step 24 The second hole on the shock mount (2) gives best all round results. Moving the shock to the inboard position increases on power steering and reduces initial steering. Moving the shock to the outer holes will stiffen the suspension, increasing initial steering and forward drive but could cause the rear wheel lifting.

FRONT CAMBER LINKS See Page 11 Bag C - Step 25 The kit settings for the front camber link position (2) and length are used by the team for most tracks. A shorter front link will make the car roll less and speed up the cars initial steering response. This is a better choice for bumpy, low grip tracks.

BELT SETTINGS See Page 17 Bag D - Step 39 It is important to run the front belt tighter than the rear. It is also important not to overtighten the rear belt as it will promote a rear braking action and on lower grip surfaces you will find the back of the car unstable when off power. A tiny amount of belt skip on the upslope of the jump when the chassis is flexing is ok, if you overtighten the rear belt you will suffer failures.
Page 33
FRONT YOKE AND HUB HEIGHT See Page 12 Bag C - Step 29 By changing these settings, axle height will be adjusted. the yoke holes move the axle height 3.5mm and the hub height adjusts the axle height based on the washers used. Changing the height of the yoke also changes the front link angle which can be compensated for using washers.
