ting is optimum for general on and off road running, but
the spring pressure and ride height is fully adjustable for
different tracks and conditions.
Setup Step 3
- Steering Trim
Although the Tempest Gladiator is factory assembled and
set up, it is important to finely adjust the steering trim
before operation. Turn on the transmitter, then the re-
ceiver, but do not start the engine. Position the steering
trim knob in the neutral (center) position.
On a smooth, level, paved surface roll the truck forward a
few feet at a time, and verify that the truck rolls straight,
not turning towards one side or another. Also check the
steering function. If the truck does not roll straight, adjust
the steering trim knob until the truck rolls straight on its
own. (In the event of damage or excessive wear, you can
also adjust the steering arms on the truck using a small
open end wrench or adjustable wrench on the hex shaped
portion of the metal rod. Adjusting the steering arms this
way also requires that you adjust
both
of the steering arms
to maintain the correct toe-in setting at the same time.)
