:: 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. If the result of your adjustment is a faster lap, mark the change on the included setup sheet (make additional

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 car, fill in the setup sheet thoroughly and file itaway. Use this as a guide for future track days or

conditions.

Ride Height:

The standard starting point for ride height is 5.0mm (keep in mind that your local track may have minimum ride height

requirements). You can slightly raise the rear relative to the front to give the car more steering. Raise the car slightly for tracks

with large bumps.

Battery Placement:

For most cases, run the battery in the standard forward position. Typically this will be the most stable and easiest to drive. Try

moving the battery back if you encounter a low traction surface.

Ackermann & Steering Rate:

Ackermann refers to the relative angle difference between the front wheels as they are

turned to steer the car. The outside wheel will turn less than the inside wheel in most

conditions. Settings with more Ackermann will have a bigger difference in wheel angle,

causing the outside wheel to turn less. Likewise, settings with less Ackermann will cause

the outside wheel to turn more.

Increasing the Ackermann will smooth out the steering and is used most often on high

traction surfaces such as carpet. This is a result of the reduced outside wheel angle.

Settings with reduced Ackermann will help to increase corner entry steering, and are

typically used when running a spool in the front.

The steering rate is also adjusted when changing the length

of the steering bellcrank. There are three rate options. The

shortest position (position C) produces a slower speed than the

longest position (position A). Slower steering rates will make

the car less aggressive, making it easier to drive. These

settings are good for high traction conditions such as carpet.

The chart to the right lists the different Ackermann options along

with their associated steering rates.

Wheelbase:

Lengthening the front will reduce steering, shortening the front will increase steering. Shortening the rear will

increase rear grip, lengthening the rear will decrease rear traction.

Rear Toe-In:

Decreasing toe-in will decrease rear traction and increase corner speed. Use numbered toe shims for adjustment.
