Tips for Beginners:
Before making any changes to the standard setup, make sure you can get around the track without crashing.
Changes to your vehicle 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 vehicle. Make only ONE adjustment at a time, testing
it before making another change. If the result of your adjustment is a faster lap, mark the change on the included setup
sheet (make adddtional copies of the sheet before writing on it). If your adjustment results in a slower lap, revert back
to the previous setup and try another change.
When you are satisfied with your vehicle, fill in the setup sheet thoroughly and file it away. Use this as a guide for future
track days or conditions. Peridicaly check all moving suspension parts. Suspension components must be kept clean
and move freely without binding to prevent poor and/or inconsistent handling.
Your B6 Team Kit comes with a clear polycarbonate body. You will need to prep the body before you can paint it.
Wash the INSIDE thoroughly with warm water and liquid detergent (do not use any detergents with scents or added
hand lotion ingredients!). Dry the body using a clean, soft, lint-free cloth. Use the supplied window masks to cover the
windows from the INSIDE of the body (RC cars get painted from the inside). Using high quality masking tape, apply tape
to the inside of the body to create a design. Spray (use either rattle can or airbrush) the paint on the inside of the body
(prefferably dark colors first, lighter colors last).
NOTE: ONLY use paint that is recommended for use with (polycarbonate) plastics. If you do not, you can destroy the
plastic body!!!!.
After the paint has completely dried (usually after 24 hours), cut the body along the trim lines. Make sure to drill or use
a body reamer to make the holes for the antenna if needed! Use hook and loop tape to secure the body to the side rails
of the vehicle.
Motor Gearing:
Proper motor gearing will result in maximum performance and run time while reducing the chance of overheating and
premature motor failure. The gear ratio chart lists recommended
starting gear ratios
for the most widely used
motor types. Gear ratios will vary depending upon motor brand, wind, and electronic speed control. Consult your
motor and electronic speed control manufacturers for more information.
Team Associated is not responsible for motor damage due to improper gearing.
Set The Gear Mesh:
You should be able to rock the spur gear back and forth in the teeth of the pinion gear without making the pinion gear
move. If the spur gear mesh is tight, then loosen the #31532 screws and move the motor away, then try again.
A gear mesh that is too tight or too loose will reduce power and damage the gear teeth.
