:: Tires and Body Build - Step 5 :: Tuning Tips Tips for Beginners: Before making any changes to the standard setup, make sure you can get around the track without crashing. Changes to your vehicle will not be beneficial if you can’t stay on the track. Your goal is consistent laps. Once you can get around the track consistently, start tuning your vehicle. Make only ONE adjustment at a time, testing it before making another change.
PAGE 24
:: Tuning Tips (cont.) Slipper Clutch: The assembly instructions give you a base setting for your clutch. Turn the nut on the shaft so that the end of the top shaft is flush with the nut. At the track, tighten or loosen the nut in 1/8 turn increments until you hear a faint slipping sound for 1-2 feet on takeoffs. Another popular way to set the clutch is to hold both rear tires firmly in place and apply short bursts of throttle.
