INTRODUCTION
Setting up a racecar with fully independent suspension, like your Serpent
720, is necessary to make the car perform well. We have developed these
straightforward procedures to help you set up your car properly and easily.
Always follow these procedures step-by-step, in the order presented, and
always make sure that you make equal adjustments on both left and right
sides of the car.
These setup guidelines are divided into two major sections.
• Section A: Basic Setup - describes default settings for your Serpent 720.
• Section B: Advanced Setup - describes the effects of setup changes.
Setup Order
We have determined that you should set up your Serpent 720 in the order
indicated in the table below. The order of the settings has been determined
as the most logical to set up your Serpent 720 properly and easily. Also,
certain settings must be made before others, as changing one setting will
impact another setting.
The table below gives you a breakdown of what components need to be
attached on the car, and what you will need to measure the settings.
For example, to set the downstops:
• Detach the shocks.
• Detach the anti-roll bars.
• Remove the wheels.
• Use a setup system (downstop blocks & gauge)
• Use a flat board.
