CHASSIS ADJUSTABILITY
Adjustable Body Mounts
The 4-Tec 2.0 chassis features adjustable body mounts to
accommodate many popular 200mm touring car body styles. To
adjust the mounts forward or backward, simply remove the fixed
screws and install them in the sliding channels. If you need to
adjust for width, remove all four screws and pull the body posts out
sideways. Reinsert the body posts in the opposite direction so that
the screw will pass through the channel. Once you are satisfied with
the positioning, tighten down the screws to secure the mounts. An
optional set of fixed body mounts is also included with your model.
Adjustable Wheelbase
The 4-Tec 2.0 chassis allows you to lengthen or shorten the
wheelbase by up to 3mm for the perfect body fit. Remove the rear
suspension arms from the vehicle and trim material from the front
or rear of the arms. Save the material you remove and add it to the
opposite side of the arms to act as a spacer, or use washers to shim
the arms. Note: The front suspension arms are not adjustable and
should not be modified or trimmed.
ADJUSTING YOUR MODEL
High-Angle Steering
The steering blocks on the 4-Tec 2.0 chassis feature a high-angle
option when extra steering angle is desired (for example, when
power drifting around a turn). First trim the plastic bump stop
to allow greater range of motion from the steering blocks (see
illustration). Next, drill out the inner hole on the steering block
and move the steering link to the inner hole. When making this
modification, we also recommend that you upgrade to constant-
velocity driveshafts (sold separately) to avoid driveshaft chatter.
