    If the change you made works adversely or doesn't address your need, return to the stock position and try something else. Team Losi's development team has put hundreds of hours on the XXX-4 Graphite Plus to arrive at the set-up we put in the instruction manual.
  • Page 39 Front End: Shock Location: Leaning the shocks in (mounting them closer to the center of the tower) will give a smoother transition as you enter into turns and improve consistency but will yield less total steering and give a slower reaction. This might be helpful on high bite surfaces.
  • Page 40 We are sure that you will find the XXX-4 G+ Buggy to be the most versatile and easiest car to drive fast with great consistency. We at Team Losi hope this information helps you to enjoy your XXX-4 G+ Buggy and racing as much as we do.
