Now mount your choice of tires and wheels and body on the car and you are ready to go.
Congratulations!!
You have now completed the assembly process of your new Custom Works
Aggressor kit. In the next section of this manual you will find some basic setup hints and
advice. It is important to remember that all tracks and racing surfaces are different.
Therefore the suggestions we give you are general in nature and should by no means
be treated as the only options.
TUNING TIPS:
These are some general guidelines for optimizing handling
performance. None of these “tips” are EVER set in stone. On any given day this manual
or any chassis engineering book or guru can be proved wrong by the almighty stop
watch. A good way to approach chassis set-up is to try one change, practice it, think how
the car felt different from before, and compare lap times from the stop watch…..this will
never fail.

Car is Erratic:

Chunked Tire: Check side wall to see if rubber is still glued to wheel.
Bent Axle: Tire “wobbles” while spinning.
Loose Screws: Especially Chassis Screws, add Blue Loctite to prevent.
Bound Ball Joint: Steering link and shocks should spin free on balls.
Shocks: Either Bound Up, Bent Shaft, or Out of Oil.
Bearings: Broken or completely seized.
Foreign Objects: Unlucky Dirt/Stones preventing suspension movement especially in front pivot
balls.
Bottoming Out: Look on bottom side of chassis for buffed or scratched areas.
Tire Rub: Look on inside of body for extreme black marks from tires.
