Congratulations! The assembly process is nearly complete. Install wheels and tires of your choice using the included wheel nuts and bearings. Install the 1/8” spacers on the OUTSIDE of the front wheels and the black flat washers on the OUTSIDE of the rear wheels before tightening the nuts. Do not overtighten the nuts. Body Mounting – When mounting your late model body to the chassis – chose a neutral position (not too far forward or too far back.
2. Shocks If tires are 50% of handling, shocks are probably the next 30%. Now that you’ve done all the work to make a great set of tires, it’s the shock’s job to keep them on the track as much as possible. We’ve found the 9lb rear and 8lb front springs to be the best combination for this car and honestly we don’t change them too often. Stiffer or softer springs can be used to achieve different results.
height and not allow the suspension to work properly. A set of scales is required to measure cross-weight and should be measured on a level surface with the car “ready to race”. 8. Droop Droop is the distance the tires can drop before they lose contact with the track when the chassis is lifted. Droop can be limited by the use of droop screws or spacers inside the shocks. Limiting the droop in the front suspension will give the car more steering and limiting rear droop can provide more rear side bite.
