Note: Step C-2 To properly shim the di, you will start by test tting the di with no shims and check for

side to side play. If no (or very little) play is present, then continue on to the next step. If you feel

excessive side to side play, then start by adding one shim on the gear side of the di assembly. This

will move the mesh tighter and remove any play. If the mesh is too tight at this point, move the shim

to the other side. In some rare cases, two shims may be necessary.

Note: The front and rear of

the car use dierent inner

bulkheads.

The front is angled

whereas the rear is

only slightly angled.

Changes to the wheelbase have a dramatic eect on handling,

since it shifts the disribution of weight over the rear wheels.

This adjusts traction. By shortening the wheelbase at the rear, you

are placing more weight over the rear wheels.

Changes to the wheelbase also change the amount of sweep the
rear driveshaft will have. More driveshaft sweep creates an eect

similar to anti-squat, where the rear end gets pushed upwards on

throttle. This helps reduce chassis slap when landing jumps on throttle.

Note: Below the TKR1601 set screws are meant to keep the outer hinge pins from moving. After installing the outer

hinge pins, install TKR1601 in the locations indicated. Very slowly tighten the set screws until you feel some

resistance from contacting the hinge pin. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Also be sure to loosen

TKR1601 before removing the hinge pin or you may damage some parts.
