RIDE HEIGHT

This describes the height of the chassis in relation to the surface it is sitting
on. This adjustment must be made with the chassis ready-to-run but with no
body. The shock preload collars are used for raising and lowering the ride
height.

Perform these initial steps:
1. Prepare the car ready-to-run, without body.
2.  Place  the  car  on  Hudy  Set-up  Board  and  use  #10  7715  Ride  Height
Gauge to measure the ride height in front and rear.

Use the shock preload collars to
raise or lower the ride height.

Initial settings: 
Front ride height: 5mm
Rear ride height: 6mm

Try using a slightly lower ride height
for high traction conditions, such as
carpet racing.

Anti-roll bars are used to stabilize the car from excessive chassis roll (which
occurs when the car leans through the turns by centrifugal force).
Anti-roll bars are generally used on smooth, high traction track conditions. If
the conditions are very bumpy, then anti-roll bars are probably not necessary.

NOTE: Anti-roll bars adjustment is performed with disconnected shocks.

Using  the  #10  7712  measuring
gauge, measure the distance from the
reference surface to the bottoms of the
steering  blocks.  Positive  numbers
indicate the distance (in mm) ABOVE
the  level  of  the  support  blocks  (or,
above  the  bottom  of  the  chassis).
Negative  numbers  indicate  the
distance (in mm) BELOW the level of
the  support  blocks  (or,  below  the
bottom of the chassis).

Adjust the front downstop screws so
that  the  bottoms  of  the  steering
blocks  are  at  the  recommended
setting on the gauge.

Initial setting: 2 mm on gauge.
(Actual measurement = 2 mm above
the level of support blocks).

The  downstops  depends  on  the
diameter of tires and track condition.
The above setting was for smaller tires
(approx. 63 mm) and a smooth track.

Adjust the rear downstop screws so
that the bottoms of the rear uprights
are  at  the  recommended  setting  on
the gauge. Note that the REAR pivot
ball  hole  should  be  used  for
downstop measuring.

Initial setting: 6mm on gauge.
(Actual measurement = 6mm above
the level of support blocks). 

The  downstops  depends  on  the
diameter of tires and track condition.
The  above  setting  was  for  smaller
tires (approx. 63 mm) and a smooth
track.
Also, if you have too much steering
while coming into corner off throttle
or while braking, try adding 1mm to
the  rear  downstop  setting.  This  will
cut  down  on  the  amount  of  weight
that is transferred away from the rear
tires when off the throttle.
