#33:: Harder

damping - less grip but lower
chassis roll. Stability is decreased,
but high-speed cornering, traction
permitting, is increased.

#22:: Optimum

position for most tracks.

•

• IInnnneerr ppoossiittiioonn #

#11:: Softer damping -

higher stability. Traction is
increased, but so is chassis roll; not
good for fast corners.

Initial setting:
Rear shocks: middle position (#2), both rear arms.

There are three lower shock mounting positions to choose from on the
front lower arms.

•

• O

Ouuttssiiddee ppoossiittiioonn #

#33: More stable, less steering. With the front suspension

stiffer, there is more stability.

•

• M

Miiddddllee ppoossiittiioonn #

#22: Optimum position for most tracks.

•

• IInnnneerr ppoossiittiioonn #

#11: softer damping, better steering. As the front suspension

gets softer, more traction is taken away from the rear, causing the car to
lose stability.

Final Adjustments

•• SSttiiffffeerr rreeaarr sspprriinnggss:: Rear traction is reduced. The car will have more steering

in the middle and exit of the corner. This is especially apparent in long,
high-speed corners.

•

• SSoofftteerr rreeaarr sspprriinnggss:: Rear traction is increased in corners as well as through

bumpy sections and while accelerating.

Adjust  the  spring  collar  on  the  shocks  so  that  the  springs  are  only  slightly
compressed  when  the  car  is  fully  equipped,  ready-to-run.  Spring  preload
should only be used to alter ride height. It is advised to change to a softer or
harder  spring  to  change  the
characteristic  of  the  springs,  rather
than fully loosening or tightening the
standard included ones.

Hint: File a small notch on the top of
each spring collar so you can tell
when you have adjusted it one full
rotation.

n::

The upper and lower shock mounting points determine how much leverage
the lower suspension arm has on the shock when compressing it, and the
progressiveness of the suspension. The different settings change how the
shock reacts to compression.

•

• SShhoocckkss m

moorree iinncclliinneedd:: More progressive, smoother feel and more lateral

grip. Having all shocks inclined makes the car very easy to drive, and it
feels like the car has more grip, but it's not always fastest.

•

• SShhoocckkss m

moorree vveerrttiiccaall:: More direct feel, but less lateral grip (side-bite).

•

• FFrroonntt sshhoocckkss m

moorree iinncclliinneedd tthhaann rreeaarr sshhoocckkss:: Steering will feel very smooth

and there will be a little more mid-corner steering. Mounting the rear
shocks very upright can result in the rear feeling unpredictable and more
nervous in turns.

•

• RReeaarr sshhoocckkss m

moorree iinncclliinneedd tthhaann ffrroonntt sshhoocckkss:: The car will feel aggressive

turning in, but most of the time the car have a little less steering. The car
will have a lot of side traction in the rear, and turning radius won't be very
tight.
