ssic TM Cla TRACK SETTINGS RIDE HEIGHT Use the spring adjusters on the shock absorbers to adjust the front and rear ride heights. With the car level, we recommend setting the ride height to around 19mm on astro, 23mm on dirt and 14-16mm on carpet. (16mm if there are large jumps in the track). This is measured between the bottom of the chassis and the ground with the car in running trim.
ssic TM Cla FRONT CAMBER LINKS The kit settings for the front camber link position (2) and length are used by the team for most tracks. A shorter front link will make the car roll less and speed up the cars initial steering response. This is a better choice for bumpy, low grip tracks. A longer front link (Hole 1) makes the front of the car roll more and offers less steering reaction at high speed. We would recommend this on fairly smooth high grip tracks.
