ANTI-ROLL BAR
The optional #9635 B4/T4 rear anti-roll bar kit
(also called the “swaybar”) allows you to add
roll resistance to the rear end with minimal ef-
fect 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 horizontal 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 remove
pre-load clips so that the left & right driveshafts
appear to be flat as seen in the following pic-
ture.
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 car feel more bal-
anced 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

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.
