FINAL ADJUSTMENTS
Make these adjustments before you drive the truck
RADIO ADJUSTMENTS
Use the following steps to make the final ad­justments on your car.
1. Turn the transmitter on.
2. Make sure the motor is disconnected.
3. Connect your battery pack and turn the
power switch on.
4. Move the steering control on the transmitter to the right and left. Do the wheels move in the correct direction? If not, you must reverse the steering servo direction on your transmitter (see radio manual.)
5. Adjust your steering trim (see radio manual) until the #9659 steering rack is centered un­der the top plate. Then, using the two steering
turnbuckles, adjust the front wheels so they are pointing straight ahead.
6. Adjust the ESC (electronic speed control) according to the speed control manufacturer’s instructions. Some manufacturers have the
motor connected during adjustment and some do not. Now turn the power switch off.
7. Connect the motor. Place your car on a block or car stand so that all four wheels are elevated. Turn the power switch on again. Check the ESC and steering settings you have made and then turn the power switch back off.
8. Remember this! The transmitter is always the FIRST TO BE TURNED ON and THE
LAST TURNED OFF.
ASSEMBLE BATTERY PACK
If you are not using a stick battery pack, here is how to assemble your battery pack. Solder in­dividual cell connections as shown.
Team racers prefer battery bars for stur­dier connections. Insulated wire will not allow the pack to fit in the battery slot. Solder connections with battery bars

MOTOR GEARING
To get the most from your motor, proper gear­ing is important. The gear ratios listed in the chart are recommended starting gear ratios. Ratios can vary from track to track, but you should not change the pinion size more than one tooth from the recommended ratio.
MAINTENANCE
CHECK FOR FIT
You should periodically check all the moving parts: front and rear end, suspension arms, steering blocks, steering linkage, shocks, and so on. If any of these should get dirty or bind then your car’s performance will suffer.
MOTOR MAINTENANCE
Between runs, inspect the brushes to ensure they are moving freely in the brush holder. This is done by carefully removing the spring and sliding the brush in and out of the holder. If there is any resistance or rough spots, remove the
CAUTION! Increasing the
pinion size by more than one tooth can damage your motor from ex­cess heat.

brush and carefully wipe the brush clean. This will clean off any buildup so the brush slides smoothly in the brush holder.
After every 3 to 5 runs, remove the brushes from the holders and inspect the tips for wear and/or burning. If there is a noticeable amount of wear, replace the brush with a new pair. If the tip is a burnt blue color, then the lubricant in the brush has been burned away and new brushes should be installed.
After every other battery charge you should carefully clean the motor. One recommended

method is to spray motor cleaner directly on the brush and commutator area. Run the mo­tor for approximately 15 seconds. Disconnect the motor and spray it again, making sure the runoff is clear and clean. If the runoff is still dirty, repeat the spraying action until clean. After com­pleting the cleaning, apply a small amount of lightweight oil to each bushing or bearing for lubrication. Be careful not to apply too much oil, for this will pick up dirt and contaminate the commutator and brushes.
FINAL
DIFFERENTIAL
Adjust the differential (“diff”) as noted on page
6. Adjusting the diff is not meant to be a tuning option. If you can hear the diff making a “bark­ing” or “chirping” sound on jump landings, ei­ther your diff is set too loose or your slipper clutch is set too tight. First check your slipper setting, then re-set the diff according to the in­structions on step C-9.

SLIPPER CLUTCH
The assembly instructions give you a base setting for your clutch. Turn the nut on the shaft so that the end of the top shaft is even with the outside of the nut. Tighten the nut 3 more turns. At the track, tighten or loosen the nut in 1/8 turn increments until you hear a
faint slipping sound for 1-2 feet on takeoffs.
Another popular way to set the clutch is to hold both rear tires firmly in place and apply short bursts of throttle. If the clutch is properly set, the front tires should lift slightly up off the surface.

TUNING & SETUP TIPS
These steps prepare your buggy for maximum performance
FRONT CAMBER LINKS
Changing the length of the camber link is considered a bigger step than adjusting the ball end height on the tower. Shortening the camber link (or lowering the ball end) will give the front end less roll and quicken steering response. Lengthening the camber link (or raising the ball end) will give the front more roll and slower steering response.
Longer camber links are typically used on high grip tracks and shorter links tend to work better on medium-grip loose tracks.
CASTER
Caster describes the angle of the kingpin as it leans toward the rear of the vehicle. Positive caster means the kingpin learns rearward at the top.
The supplied 25° caster blocks (#9580) are recommended in most cases. For more corner entry steering and less exit steering, try the optional 30° blocks (#9593).
The optional 20° blocks (#9592) will give you more exit steering and less entry steering.
Raise or lower the ball end by adding or subtract­ing washers here
CAMBER
Camber describes the angle at which the tire and wheel rides when looked at from the front. Negative camber means that the tire leans in­ward at the top.
A good starting camber setting is –1°. Use the included #1719 camber gauge to set your camber as shown. Positive camber, where the top of the tire is leaning out, is not recom­mended.
STEERING BLOCKS
The included trailing steering blocks (#9581) should be used in most cases. The Team es­pecially recommends the trailing blocks on high­grip or “blue-groove”.
Changing to the optional inline steering blocks (#9577) and axles (#7459) will give the car an overall aggressive feeling. Steering en­tering and exiting the corners is increased, but straight line stability is reduced.
Testing camber with the camber gauge
FRONT TOE-IN
Toe-in describes the angle of the front tires when viewed from the top. With toe-in, the front of the tires point inward.
Zero degree toe-in (tires pointing straight forward) is the setting that should be used in almost all track conditions. Occasionally you can increase turn in by adding a little toe-out (front of tires point slightly out). Front toe-in is not a typical tuning adjustment used by the Team.
ANTI-SQUAT
Anti-squat denotes the angle of the rear arms relative to the ground. Zero anti-squat means that the rear arms are flat, parallel with the ground. The kit setting is 2°, and can be ad­justed by installing or removing the included
REAR CAMBER LINK
Changing the length of the camber link is con­sidered a bigger step than adjusting the ball end height on the rear chassis brace. Shorten­ing the camber link (or lowering the ball end) will give the rear end less roll and the car will tend to accelerate or “square up” better. Length­ening the camber link (or raising the ball end) will give the rear more roll and more cornering grip. Longer camber links are typically used on high grip tracks, while shorter links tend to work better on med-grip loose tracks. The kit setting is the best compromise of cornering grip and acceleration.
FRONT RIDE HEIGHT
Ride height is the distance from the ground to the bottom of the chassis.
The standard front ride height setting is with the front arms level (referred to as “arms level”). Check the ride height by lifting up the entire car about 8-12 inches off the bench and drop it. After the suspension “settles” into place, add or remove pre-load clips so that the left & right arms appear to be flat as seen in the fol­lowing picture.
shims underneath the arm mount.
The shim with 2 tabs is for 2° and the shim with 1 tab is for 1°. You can use any combina­tion of shims to get 0, 1, 2, or 3° anti-squat. Adding anti-squat tends to make the car “ro­tate” more in corners, but doesn’t handle as well through the bumps.
Raise or lower the ball end by adding or subtracting washers here
Front arms should be in a straight line when ride height is set as “arms level”
Upper shim (with one tab), Lower shim (with two tabs),
REAR CAMBER
Camber describes the angle at which the tire and wheel rides when looked at from the back. Negative camber means that the tire leans in­ward at the top.
A good starting camber setting is –1°. Use the included #1719 camber gauge to set your camber (shown above). Adding a small amount of positive camber, where the top of the tire is leaning out, will tend to improve straight-line acceleration on loose tracks.

WHEELBASE ADJUSTMENT
You have three options for rear hub spacing, Forward, Middle, & Back. The kit setting pro­vides the most rear traction, and will be used most often. For improved handling in bumps or rhythm sections, try moving the hubs to the Middle or Back position. This can also make the car handle better in 180° turns.
Spacers to the rear will place hubs forward, shortening the wheelbase
ANTI-ROLL BAR
The optional #9635 B4/T4 rear anti-roll bar kit (also called the “swaybar”) allows you to add roll resistance to the rear end with minimal ef­fect on handling over bumps and jumps. It is an especially helpful tuning item on high-grip tracks (try the gold bar). The silver and black anti-roll bars are typically used on medium-grip loose tracks.
BATTERY PLACEMENT
This is one of the best adjustments on the car, and it can have the biggest effect on handling. Most of the time, moving the battery pack back will yield more rear traction and decrease steer­ing. Conversely, moving the battery pack for­ward will yield less rear traction and increase steering. But in some cases on extremely high grip or extremely low grip tracks, moving the pack forward will make the car feel more bal­anced and actually improve rear grip.
REAR RIDE HEIGHT
Ride height is the distance from the ground to the bottom of the chassis.
The rear ride height setting you should use most often is with the outdrive, driveshaft, and axles all on the same imaginary horizontal line (referred to as “bones level”). Check the ride height by lifting up the entire car about 8-12 inches off the bench and dropping it. After the suspension “settles” into place, add or remove pre-load clips so that the left & right driveshafts appear to be flat as seen in the following pic­ture.
