c) Adjusting the shock absorbers
Front axle
Rear axle
At the upper end of the shock absorber (A), the spring tension can be
adjusted by inserting plastic clips (included with the product, see right-
hand image).
Always ensure that the shock absorbers on each axle are level (i.e. on the
left and right wheel of the front or rear axle), otherwise the vehicle may
not respond correctly.
The shock absorbers on the front and rear axle can be mounted in different positions above the shock absorber
bridge (B) and on the bottom suspension arm (C). The manufacturer has preconfigured an optimal position, therefore
changes should only be made by professional drivers.
Professional drivers can also use springs with a different hardness grade or fill the shock absorbers with a shock
absorber oil of a different viscosity. It is also possible to install aluminium shock absorbers that can be adjusted with
a knurling wheel.
As is the case with full-size vehicles, the shock absorbers (and the rubber seals in the shock absorbers) are wear-
able parts. If oil leaks from the shock absorbers (e.g. the suspension arm is coated in oil, or there is dripping oil), the
gaskets or shock absorbers must be replaced.
