INTRODUCTION
Top-competition off-road cars/truggies are precision racing machines that feature multiple
adjustments that allow you to set up for any track condition. Most modern off-road cars/
truggies include innovative set-up features that allow you to change adjustments quickly
to achieve a full range of adjustment.
The HUDY Off-road Set-up Book describes how to adjust your off-road car/truggy to suit
your driving style. For each individual set-up area, we describe the effects of changing
the adjustment and how to make the adjustment.
When setting up the car/truggy it is very important that the car sits on an ultra-fl at surface.
We strongly recommend using high-quality HUDY professional set-up tools – including
an ultra-fl at set-up board and marking decal – for every set-up adjustment.
The Basic Set-Up Sheet for your vehicle is always a very good overall starting point. After
rebuilding the chassis, or in case you become lost with your set-up, always return to the
basic starting set-up. If you choose to experiment with set-up, make small adjustments
one at a time, and see if you fi nd any improvement with each adjustment. We strongly
advise you to record and keep track of your set-up changes, record which set-ups work
best at different racetracks under various conditions.
If you own an XRAY model racing car then you can use blank XRAY Set-Up Sheets to
record your data and set-ups or use the unique Virtual Online Database set-up sheets at
www.teamxray.com where you can upload and share your set-up sheets or search for
other set-up sheets posted by factory team drivers or search particular set-up for your
track. The XRAY Virtual Online Database features thousands of set-up sheets and is the
world’s most unique set-up sheet source for your reference.
IMPORTANT!
The adjustment possibilities and methods of adjustment shown in this HUDY Off-road
Set-up Book are particular to the XRAY XB808 1/8 off-road nitro buggy. The general
theory behind the adjustments applies to all off-road vehicles, though the manner in
which the measurements and adjustments are made may differ on other vehicles. Some
of the off-road cars may not have possibility for some adjustments or may require use of
some other optional parts to be able to perform some of the set-up adjustments. Always
refer to the original manufacturer’s documentation for explicit instructions on how to
make set-up adjustments.
