RECOMMENDED INITIAL CAMBER SETTINGS:
●
For driving on smooth surfaces set both the front and back wheels at 0 degrees.
●
For driving on rough surfaces set the front wheels at -1 degree and the back wheels at -2 degrees.
☞
Camber settings should be measured with the vehicle at its normal ride height.

For more precise camber adjustments, use the R.P.M. Precision Camber Gauge part # 708099.
Negative Camber
Positive Camber
Camber changes the amount of the tire's surface that contacts the ground. Tires that are exactly perpendicular to ground have 0
degrees of camber. If the top of the tires lean toward each other, the tires have negative camber. If the top of the tires lean out away from
each other, the tires have positive camber.
●
Adjust the camber angle of the front and/or rear wheels by turning the upper turnbuckles using an adjustable wrench.
Step 2: Adjusting the Camber Angle
RECOMMENDED INITIAL SETTINGS:
●
We recommend initially leaving the adjustment rings in the factory locations.
☞
When adjusting the spring tension, make sure to adjust the right and left sides equally.
By adjusting the spring tension of the shocks, you can increase steering sensitivity and increase the ride-height of your vehicle. How you
drive your vehicle will dictate what settings you should be using. As an example, if you're using your vehicle off-road and going over lots
of jumps, you may want to increase the spring tension of the front shocks to help prevent the front of the vehicle from bottoming out.
●
Increase or decrease spring tension by threading the adjustment ring up or down the shock shaft. Threading the ring down increases
spring tension, threading the ring up decreases spring tension.
Step 3: Adjusting Shock Spring Tension
Changing the shock oil (the oil inside the shocks) will change the dampening characteristics of the shocks. Typically, if you are running
on smooth surfaces, use a heavier weight oil. If you are running on rough surfaces, use a lighter weight oil.

We recommend using only 100% Silicone Shock Oil. Do not use motor oil. The shock oil in the X-Cellerator Nitro
Stadium Racer's shocks is good for most off-road applications.
Moving the upper mounting position of the rear shocks to a hole in the shock tower that results in the shock assembly being more upright
will result in more "bite" in the rear of the vehicle.
