c) Setting the Shock Absorbers
The spring-pre-tension at the upper end of the shock absorber can be adjusted by inserting plastics clips (A).
Theshockabsorbersatthevehicle‘sfrontandrearvehicleaxlescanbemountedindifferentpositionslowertrans-
verse link (C) and at the top of the damper bridge (B). The manufacturer has, however, already chosen the best
position;therefore,onlyprofessionaldriversshouldchangethese.

shock absorbers. Installation of aluminium shock absorbers that can be adjusted with a knurled wheel is possible as
well.
Just as with a „real“ car, the shock absorbers (or the rubber seals in them) on the model car are a wearing part. If oil
is running from the shock absorbers (e.g. transverse link strongly oiled, dripping traces), the seals or shock absorbers
must be replaced.
