  • Page 35 :: Chassis Tips Gearing: Follow your motor manufacturer’s recommendations for gearing options. Gear Mesh: To correctly set your gear mesh, follow the steps below: 1. Loosen the set screw on the motor’s pinion gear. The set screw can be accessed through the slot on the side of the motor mount slide, opposite the spur gear.
  • Page 36 :: Front End Tips (cont.) Front Camber Angle: A good starting camber setting is –2 degrees. Positive camber, where the top of the tire is leaning out, is typically not recommended. Front Toe-In: Zero degree toe-in (tires pointing straight forward) is a good starting setting. You can increase turn in by adding 1-2 degrees of toe-out (front of tires point slightly out).

    :: 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.
