Adjusting and Tuning Your Vehicle
The Conquest 10MT XB has been engineered with some available tuning
options listed here for reference. The default configuration has been chosen
to provide what we feel is the most enjoyable experience for most operating
conditions. However we do encourage experimentation and testing as that’s
where the real fun begins!
Ride Height Adjustment
It is ideal to have the drive shafts above level but still allow the shocks to
extend when you lift the vehicle while the vehicle is sitting on a flat surface
with the body installed. Use the threaded adjustment collars to achieve the
desired ride height.
• Lowering the collar will raise the ride height of the vehicle and if done
excessively may decrease stability.
• Raising the collar will lower the ride height and may cause the chassis to
drag on the ground.
Upper Shock Position
There are multiple shock installation locations for the top mounting location
of the shock towers. The default positions have been chosen as a good
starting point. Moving the shock mounting location inward will result in a
slightly less responsive feel on the front or rear of the vehicle but it will be a
little more stable. Moving the shock mounting location outward will make the
truck more responsive but less stable in some conditions.
Lower Shock Position
There are multiple shock installation locations for the lower mounting
location of the shocks in the suspension arm. The default location is ideal for
the included shock length. However you can play a little.
• Moving the shocks to the inside location will result in a slightly more
responsive feel on the front or rear of the vehicle but become a little less
stable. This change will also increase the vehicle’s articulation and you
will notice more body roll. Always check and adjust, if necessary, the ride
height of your vehicle after moving the shock mounting locations.
Battery Mounting
Your vehicle comes equipped with a default mount setting for a 6-Cell NiMH
battery. It is also possible to fit a 2S LiPo battery (we highly recommend hard
cased batteries that resist wear). Ensure the pack is firmly secured with the
hook and loop tape to keep it from changing position in the battery tray.
