RAISING AND ADJUSTING THE BODY
Your model has a realistic tilt-up body and does not require body clips. To raise the
body for chassis access, reach beneath the front bumper and pull the latch toward the
front of the car and gently lift the body. The rear body pivot has detents and will hold
the body in place. The tightness of the pivots may be adjusted by tightening the pivot
screw using a 2.5mm hex driver.
Note:
Over-tightening the pivot
screws will result in premature wear
of the body mount detents.
Front body height can be adjusted by
raising the mount in its holder. To access
the body mount, first remove the 4x10 countersunk screws that secure the body mount to
the body. Then, you may remove the 3mm screws that secure the mount, move the mount
to the position you wish to use, and reinstall the screws. Refer to the exploded views in
your Service and Support Guide for more information.
