  • Page 33 :: Wheels, Tires, and Body Install Tires: Tires: When gluing tires to wheels, use a Build four fast-curing Tire glue (CA) 89255 (AE Pt#1597).

    :: Building Tips Tires: The tires need to be glued to the wheels using any fast-curing FT Tire glue (CA) (AE Pt#1597). This is available at your local hobby shop. Make sure to clean the mounting surface of the tire with alchohol for best adhesion. Receiver Pack: Your RC8.2 does not come with a receiver pack.
  • Page 35 :: Front End Tips (cont.) Front Camber Link-Outer: The standard short location will work the best for most tracks. Going to the long front link will give you more steering, but can make the car less predictable in bumps and exiting turns. Front Camber Angle: A good starting camber setting is –2 degrees.

    :: Droop Settings (Buggy shown but applicable for all vehicles) Note: Rear hub spacing is not recommended with RTR dog bones. For more adjustability, use CVA’s in place of dog bones. Step 1: With only the bottom of the shocks attatched, the droop screws raised all the way, and the chassis above your working surface so the arms are at full extension, you should be able to easily slide the top of your shock over the standoff screw, while leaving the shock at full extension.
