d) Setting the Shock Absorbers

Front axle Rear axle

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 at the lower

transverse 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.

Always set the shock absorbers for one axle evenly (at the left and right wheels of the front or rear axle). Otherwise,

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.
