:: 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 car 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 car. Make only ONE adjustment at a time, testing it before making another change.
:: Tuning Tips Caster: Caster describes the angle of the kingpin from vertical while looking from the side of the car. Positive caster means the top of the kingpin leans rearward. Negative caster means the kingpin is leaning towards the front of the car. Since caster is measured at the wheel, it is affected by running any inclination in your inner arm mount. Kick-up adds (+) caster, and anti-dive adds (-) caster.
:: Tuning Tips Anti-Dive (front): Anti-dive is a front arm angle where the rear mount is higher than the front mount. Adding anti-dive reduces weight transfer to the front on deceleration entering corners. It also reduces caster at the wheel. Kick-Up (front): Kick-up describes the angle of the front suspension arm, where the front mount is higher than the rear mount. Increasing kick-up will give more entry steering, as well as increasing caster at the wheel.
:: Gear Chart 48 Pitch ! Blank spaces in the gear charts designates a gear ratio that will not fit in the vehicle. Gear fitment will also depend on the motor brand.
