The Eclipse 3 has four LiPo positions. A more

forward LiPo will make the car easier to 

drive. A more rearward LiPo will make the

car more aggressive and provide more 

steering.

The side LiPo stops allow for fine tuning

battery clearance by loosening the screws

and gently pushing them inward.

This spring is used to set the pod angle. Adjust the spring tension so that the pod

is horizontal when the car is on a flat surface. This gives the kit setting with zero

anti-squat or pro-squat.

A harder bump spring can give more initial steering. A softer bump spring will give

more aggressive mid corner steering and improve the cars bump handling ability.  

If the bump spring is screwed down further, the pod will no longer be horizontal. Angled down at the rear is Anti-squat. If the spring is unscrewed

from horizontal, the pod will be angled forwards. This is Pro-squat.

Anti-squat resists the weight transfer to the rear under power. This will increase 

on power steering. Typically anti-squat may be used but pro-squat is rarely useful.  

Setting Anti-Squat can be done by setting this dimension using digital calipers.  

4.3mm = 0° Anti-squat.  A smaller dimension = More Anti-Squat.

Rear droop adjusts the balance of the cars handling. Less droop makes the car more

aggressive, squaring up the turns. More droop gives less corner rotation but an easier

to drive car. More droop also improves the cars bump handling.

Start with 1mm of droop.

To set this, start with the droop screw backed out and screw in to reduce droop.

Measure this by measuring the cars rear ride height, then take all the weight off the

car by lifting from the rear of the centre damper tube (the wheels must still just be 

touching the floor). Measure the chassis from the floor in this position and subtract

the ride height to calculate the droop.

Generally in high traction track conditions, thinner bump damping oil is

better. Low traction tracks may require thicker damping. 

Thicker bump damping oil slows the weight transfer of the rear and

makes the car easier to drive when coming off power. Thicker oil can

help if the track surface is bumpy and there are issues with bumps when

the car is moving in a straight line.

A good range is between 15,000cSt and 50,000cSt

4.3mm = 0°
