FINAL ADJUSTMENTS

RADIO ADJUSTMENTS

Use the following steps to make the final ad-

justments 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 #9576 steering rack is centered un-

der 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 el-

evated. 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.

Make these adjustments before you drive the buggy

MOTOR GEARING

To get the most from your motor, proper gear-

ing 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

Follow these steps to keep your buggy in shape for racing

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 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 mo-

tor 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. Af-

ter 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 con-

taminate the commutator and brushes.

ASSEMBLE BATTERY PACK

If you are not using a stick battery pack, here is

how to assemble your battery pack. Solder in-

dividual cell connections as shown.

Team racers prefer battery bars for stur-

dier connections. Insulated wire will not allow

the pack to fit in the battery slot. Solder connections with battery bars

(#651)

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 “bark-

ing” or “chirping” sound on jump landings, ei-

ther 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 in-

structions 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 4

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.

Aim negative lead toward the front

CAUTION! Increasing the

pinion size by more than one

tooth can damage your motor

from excess heat.

STEERING BLOCKS

The included trailing steering blocks (# 9581)

should be used in most cases. The Team es-

pecially recommends the trailing blocks on

high-grip or “blue-groove”.

Changing to the optional inline steering

blocks (#9577) will give the car an overall ag-

gressive feeling. Steering entering and exiting

the corners is increased, but straight line sta-

bility is slightly reduced.

TUNING & SETUP TIPS

These steps prepare your buggy for maximum performance

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.

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 med-grip loose tracks.

Raise or lower the ball

end by adding or sub-

tracting 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 recom-

mended.

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.

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.

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 3°, and can be ad-

justed by installing or removing the included

REAR CAMBER LINK

Changing the length of the camber link is con-

sidered a bigger step than adjusting the ball

end height on the rear chassis brace. Short-

ening 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. Length-

ening 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.

Upper shim (with one tab), 1°

Lower shim (with two tabs), 2°

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.

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 in-

ward 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.

Front arms should be in a

straight line when ride height

is set as “arms level”
