TUNING TIPS:

These are some general guidelines for optimizing handling performance.

None of these “tips” are EVER set in stone. On any given day this manual or any chassis
engineering book or guru can be proved wrong by the stop watch. A good way to approach
chassis set-up is to try one change, practice it, think how the car felt different from before, and
compare lap times from the stop watch…..this will never fail.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

You have now completed the assembly process of your

new Custom Works Nitro Outlaw. In the next section of this manual you will find some basic
setup hints and advice. It is important to remember that all tracks and racing surfaces are
different. Therefore the suggestions we give you are general in nature and should by no
means be treated as the only options.

- Bent Suspension Pins: Remove shocks to check
free movement.
- Bound Ball Joint: Should spin free on balls
while mounted to the car.
- Bent or Loose Camber Links
- Wore out Bearings or Completely Seized
Bearings
- Chunked Tire: Check to see if Foam or Rubber
Tire is still glued to wheel.
- Loose Screws: Especially Chassis Screws, add
Blue Loctite to prevent.
- Shocks: Either Bound-up or Out of Oil. Must
swivel freely on mounts.
- Foreign Objects: Unlucky Dirt/Stones
preventing Suspension or Steering Movement.
- Blown Differential
- Radio Problem: Bad Servo, Weak Servo Saver
Spring, Transmitter Pot blown.

MAINTENANCE:

Occasionally dirt will get into the moving and pivoting locations in your car. It is best to
periodically clean your car to keep all the suspension components moving freely. Read the tips
below to keep your car running at its best!

- Begin by removing the majority of the dirt using a small brush, toothbrush, or compressed air.
- Compressed air is ok to use, be mindful to not FORCE the dirt into the radio gear, transmission,
bearings, or air filter. Typically these items only have dirt on them, hitting the dirt with the
compressed air puts dirt

IN these parts!

- Tires, either foam or rubber are best cleaned using water or cleaners like Simple Green (TM). Simple
Green also does a great job cleaning car parts as well. Lightly spraying car parts (NOT radio
components, transmission, air filter, or bearings) with Simple Green and blowing off with compressed
air or wiping the parts using the paint brush is a great way to clean in a hurry.
- Another R/C friendly cleaner is WD-40 (TM). After the car is clean, very lightly spray the car
components and bearings (NOT radio components, transmission, or air filter). Use your brush or
compressed air to remove the extra WD-40. This will lube your bearings and leave a protective
coating on the parts making it easier to remove dirt later.
- Differential Maintenance is needed when the action of the diff feels “notchy”. Usually cleaning the
diff parts, re-sand the thrust and diff plates with 400 paper, and lube appropriately will be all that is
needed to bring back to new. Ignoring your differential will lead to handling woes and increase
transmission temps, which will cause part failure.
