ANTI-ROLL BAR
The optional #9635 B4 rear anti-roll bar kit
(also called the “swaybar”) allows you to add
roll resistance to the rear end with minimal
effect on handling over bumps and jumps. It is
an especially helpful tuning item on high-grip
tracks (try the gold bar). The silver and black
anti-roll bars are typically used on medium-
grip loose tracks.
REAR RIDE HEIGHT
Ride height is the distance from the ground to
the bottom of the chassis.
The rear ride height setting you should
use most often is with the outdrive, driveshaft,
and axles all on the same imaginary horizon-
tal line (referred to as “bones level”). Check
the ride height by lifting up the entire car about
8-12 inches off the bench and dropping it. After
the suspension “settles” into place, add or re-
move pre-load clips so that the left & right
driveshafts appear to be flat as seen in the
following picture.
BATTERY PLACEMENT
This is one of the best adjustments on the car,
and it can have the biggest effect on handling.
Most of the time, moving the battery pack back
will yield more rear traction and decrease steer-
ing. Conversely, moving the battery pack for-
ward will yield less rear traction and increase
steering. But in some cases on extremely high
grip or extremely low grip tracks, moving the
pack forward will make the buggy feel more
balanced and actually improve rear grip.
SETUP SHEETS
The best way to get your car handling right is to
go to our website, www.rc10.com, and click on
the links for setup sheets. Our Team Drivers
help develop these setups at National events.
Also, most drivers have a “base” setup
that they use as a starting point for every event.
Try running some of these base setups or look
for track conditions and tires that are similar to
your local track and mimic that setup.

WHEELBASE ADJUSTMENT
You have three options for rear hub spacing,
Forward, Middle, & Back. The kit setting pro-
vides the most rear traction, and will be used
most often. For improved handling in bumps
or rhythm sections, try moving the hubs to the
Middle or Back position. This can also make
the car handle better in 180° turns.
Spacers to the rear will place hubs
forward, shortening the wheelbase
Spacer to the front will place
batteries to the rear
