Vehicle Set up on the Track
After you have tweaked the Scalpel correctly, you can move on to setting up your kit on the track.
Steering adjustment
Limit the right/left balance of steering so that the vehicle drives with full steering angle equally left and right.
A good value for cornering is a turning radius of approx. 50cm.
Spring pressure on the front suspension arms
Adjust the pressure of the front springs to that the suspension rebound movement set-screw reaches the chassis
if the suspension arm is released.
Spring pressure on the middle absorber
Adjust the knurled nut from the absorber so, that the chassis does not sag when viewed from the side.
Friction disk absorption system
Apply some differential grease under both friction disks, in order to ensure free movement of the friction disk system.
On a fast track with higher grip give more pressure on the springs for the friction disks. On lower traction tracks you
can try it without grease and less pressure.
Tires
Always use tire traction sauce, if this is permitted on your racing course. Always use it on the rear tires. The front tires
should be lubricated depending on mixture and grip of the track, but only up to the half (internal half of the tire).
Apply the tire traction sauce and let sit at least 10-20 minutes. Dry the tires before you start driving on the track.
If your Scalpel is too aggressive to drive it is advisable to apply super glue (CA) to the outside of the front tires. This
reduces the front axle grip and makes the vehicle easier to drive on difficult tracks (carpet condition).
If the front tires wear in a conical pattern after a while, you should adjust the camber. The front axle is optimally adjusted,
if the front tires wear evenly across the tire.
