:: Wiring Diagrams Receiver Box Gasket Maintenance: 1. Apply a small amount of “hobby grade” glue (not included) to the top edge of the receiver box in order to hold the receiver box gasket in place. Do the same for the receiver box lid. Make sure not to get glue on the side of the gaskets that will make contact with each other! Wait untill the glue has completely dried before moving on to the next step! 2.
:: Gear Mesh Gear Mesh: To correctly set your gear mesh, follow the steps below: 1. Remove the Chassis Brace. Loosen the set screw on the motor’s pinion gear. Slide the pinion on the motor shaft until the gear face of the pinion is entirely aligned with the gear face of the spur gear (see diagram). Tighten the set screw while ensuring it is aligned with the flat face on the motor shaft. Pinion Spur Gear 2. Loosen the motor clamp screw until the motor is able to move freely.
:: Camber / Toe Front Camber Angle: A good starting camber setting is –2 degrees (where the top of the tires lean inwards). Positive camber, where the top of the tire is leaning out, is typically not recommended. Front Toe-In: Zero degree toe-in (tires pointing straight forward) is a good starting setting. You can increase steering into corners by adding 1-2 degrees of toe-out (front of tires point slightly outward). Front toe - in is not a typical tuning adjustment used.
:: Bumper Adjustments Bumper Adjustments: On-Road To run your vehicle in off-road conditions (big jumps), it is recommended that you switch your front and rear bumpers to their off-road positions. This allows for greater ground clearance. The body should be trimmed level with the bottom edge of the bumper. Front Bumper Adjustments: Off-Road :: Bumper Adjustments - (cont.) Rear Bumper Adjustment: On-Road ! Remove and flip brace over.

:: Shock Maintenance - (cont.) Bladder Installation 3 Sho 5wt ck f lui d Stock Shock Fluid Setting: Front: 35wt Rear: 35wt A B C As you install the shock cap with the bladder, it will force out any extra fluid. If you install the cap with the shaft fully extended, you are running FULL REBOUND.This means the shaft will fully rebound when compressed. To run less rebound, unthread the cap 1-2 turns and compress the shaft to the desired position and re-tighten the cap with the shaft compressed.
:: Motor Manual 550-SL BRUSHLESS MOTOR Introduction Caution Congratulations on your purchase of the Reedy 550-SL Brushless Motor. The latest brushless motor technology along with the design and engineering experience that is responsible for 29 World Championship titles has been incorporated into its design. When switching to a higher voltage battery from a lower one (11.1V to 7.4V, for example), a change in gear ratio or a lower kV motor might be necessary.
