Car setup can be a difficult and controversial step in getting your car to its

maximum performance. Even if you have extensive knowledge of your car

and  know  all  the  theories  on  handling  dynamics,  this  knowledge  is  still

tedious to use in practice because of the inherent complexity in the set-up

process itself.

Your new T1 EVO2 touring car with fully independent suspension features the

highest number of adjustments possible to get the most performance out of

any track condition. Setting the car is necessary to make the car perform well.

We  have  developed  these  straight-forward  procedures  to  help  you  set  up

your T1 EVO2 properly and easily. Always follow these procedures step-by-

step,  in  the  order  presented,  and  always  make  sure  that  you  make  equal

adjustments on both left and right sides of the car.

The set-up described here is a good starting point, but you may adjust the

settings to better suit different track conditions. Only change one thing at a

time,  in  order  to  get  a  better  understanding  of  what  consequence  each

change  has  on  the  handling  of  the  car.  Remember  to  document  all  the

changes you make, and the effect they have on your car and lap times.

XRAY publishes new set-up information, hot tuning tips, and the latest hop-

ups for your T1 EVO2 on the www.teamxray.com website. XRAY, as a member

of www.myTSN.com, publishes all news at the myTSN.com RC portal. As a

proud owner of a T1 EVO2, you can register your car at myTSN.com and you

may post your own set-ups to the website, either as public or private data,

and even link the set-ups directly to a particular track or event (providing that

those are present on myTSN.com).

In the following pages we have used the tools and accessories listed below

for perfect and optimal adjustment:

#10 8201 HUDY Set-up Board for 1/10

#10 8211 HUDY Set-up Board Decal for 1/10

#10 9300 HUDY Universal Set-up for All 1/10 Touring Cars

#10 7702 HUDY Chassis Droop Gauge Support Blocks

#10 7712 HUDY Chassis Droop Gauge -3 to 10 mm

#10 7715 HUDY Ride Height Gauge
