Thank you for purchasing your Suspension and Steering Kit from Radioshack. Please read this user’s guide before installing, setting up, and using your
new product.

When you need to adapt your car’s handling for different driving conditions, the steering and suspension upgrade will enhance your competitive edge.
This upgrade consists of three kinds of tie rods and damper springs. Change the tie rods to adjust and improve steering. Change the dampers and
springs to improve handling on different driving surfaces. Before installing, turn off your vehicle and controller and detach the car body.

and two screws from the tie rod.

2. Take out the current tie rod.

3. Insert the new tie rod and tighten the
screws.

Tuning Tips

• You do not always need to upgrade the tie
rods, dampers, and springs at the same
time. There may be driving conditions where
you only want to modify one at a time.

• Different combinations of tie rods and
springs will give you optimal driving
performance. The higher the degree, the
tighter the turning radius of the car.

• When upgrading your car, it is best to work
on a large, level workbench or table.

Changing the Dampers and
Springs

1. Remove the two screws connecting the
damper to the front or rear arm.

2. Assemble the desired spring color with the
damper. Insert the damper back in the hole
and screw the damper back into the front or
rear arm.

Damper

• To adjust for oversteering, use softer springs

in the front and stiffer springs in the rear.
To adjust for understeering, use stiffer
springs in the front and softer springs in the

rear.
