When adjusted properly, you should be able
to hold the rear tires firmly and barely be able
to push the spur gear forward with your thumb.
To track test, turn the Mini-T on and place it on
the ground. As you push it backwards allowing
it to roll freely, punch the throttle. The slipper
should slip no more than an inch or two as it
accelerates. With a stock motor and 4 cell battery
it will probably not slip at all. With a 5 or 6 cell
battery pack it should slip just a little. Make sure
you replace the gear cover before running.
"Less Rate"
"Full Rate"
Steering Rate
Your transmitter is equipped with a steering rate control at the top right. This advanced feature, usually found
only on competition type radios, allows you to adjust the amount the front tires move when you turn the steering
wheel. This is really helpful when you are on slick as well as high traction surfaces. If your Mini-T turns too sharply
and/or spins out easily, try turning the steering rate down by rotating the knob counter-clockwise (to the left). For
sharper or additional steering try turning the knob clockwise (to the right).
Normal
More Camber
Camber
Camber is the angle of the tires to the racing surface
when viewed from the front or rear of the truck. You
want to keep both the front and rear tires straight up
and down or leaning in at the top very slightly. If you
are running on carpet or similar high traction surfaces
you may find leaning them in a bit more helps. This
adjustment is made with the threaded links that extend
from the front or rear bulkhead to the spindle carrier or
rear hub. Making these shorter increases the camber
and lean-in of the tire while making them longer
decreases the camber.
Toe-In
This is the relationship of the left and right side tire
to one another. Ideally you want the front of the tires
to be pointed inward toward each other just slightly
when viewed from above. This makes the model track
straight and stable. This is controlled with the threaded
steering rods on either side. As you make them longer
you will increase the toe-in and vice versa.
Normal
More Toe-In
Ride Height
This is the height the chassis sits and runs at. There are spring spacers included with the Mini-T that, when
installed between the shock top and spring, will increase the pre-load on the spring and raise the chassis. You
may want to try this when running on extremely rough surfaces.
