Slipper Adjustments
Steering Rate
Chassis Tuning
The Mini Sprint has several adjustments available to you for tuning the performance for your needs. Although there
are multiple shock positions and camber link locations provided, we have built the model with the best overall settings.
The following are simple adjustments and easily maintained settings to assure proper operation and performance.
It is advised when making any adjustment that you do so in small increments and always check for other parts of the
chassis that are affected.
Your transmitter is equipped with a steering rate control to the left of the steering wheel. 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 Sprint turns
too sharply and/or spins out easily, try turning the steering rate down by rotating the knob counterclockwise (to the left).
For sharper or additional steering, try turning the knob clockwise (to the right).

Slip
The Mini Sprint is equipped with a slipper device offering both traction control and protection for the transmission.
The slipper is primarily used to help absorb sudden impacts on the drivetrain due to landing big jumps or when
using more powerful aftermarket motors and/or battery packs. Additionally, it can be used to smooth out the flow of
power to the rear wheels and limit wheel spin when running on extremely slick surfaces. Adjustment is made by
turning the 3mm adjustment nut clockwise (to the right) to reduce the slip, or counterclockwise (to the left) to
increase the slip. 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 Sprint 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 the included motor and battery pack it should slip just a little.
