  • Page 33 :: 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 34 :: 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).
