RIDE HEIGHT
ADJUSTING REAR TRACK-WIDTH
Adjust rear track-width using the two (2) lower
pivotballs in the rear hubs, and also the rear
upper camber link:
•
INCREASE rear track-width (wider):
Turn OUT (CCW) both lower pivotballs
equally, and lengthen the rear upper
camber link.
• DECREASE rear track-width (narrower):
Turn IN (CW) both lower pivotballs equally,
and shorten the rear upper camber link.
RIDE HEIGHT
Ride height is the height of the chassis in relation to the
surface it is sitting on, with the car ready to run. Ride
height affects the car’s traction since it alters the car’s
center of gravity and roll center. Because of changes in
suspension geometry and ground clearance, there are
negative consequences to altering ride height too much.
Ride height is measured with the wheels on the car, and
the car ready-to-run. Measure and adjust ride height with
the car ready-to-run but without the body. Use the shock
preload collars to raise and lower the ride height.
EFFECTS OF RIDE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Decreasing ride height
(lowering the car)
• Increases overall grip.
• Better on smooth tracks.
Increasing ride height
(raising the car)
• Decreases overall grip.
• Better on bumpy tracks (prevents bottoming).
RIDE HEIGHT AND TIRES
The car’s ride height decreases as the foam tires wear down to smaller diameters. The foam tires may wear at different rates front-to-back, and
left-to-right, which may eventually result in an uneven ride height at all four corners and an incorrect overdrive ratio. You should try to select tire
hardness to achieve even tire wear for longer races. For more information, see the tips for using foam tires.
RIDE HEIGHT AND SUSPENSION SETTINGS
Suspension settings are unaffected by the wheels/tires you put on the car, only the ride height is affected. When you use a set-up system (such as
the HUDY All-In-One Set-Up Solution) to set your suspension settings, the suspension settings do not change when you put different wheels on the
car. With the car sitting on the ground, it may appear that certain settings are different, but this may be due to uneven tires, or tires with different
diameters. However, the settings you set using a set-up system are the true suspension settings.
MEASURING RIDE HEIGHT
INITIAL STEPS SET-UP COMPONENTS
Prepare the car as follows: Use the following set-up components:
• Shocks: Attach the shocks
• Wheels: Attach the wheels. Tire diameters should be: 59mm front / 60mm rear.
• Ride Height Gauge
RIDE HEIGHT FRONT RIDE HEIGHT REAR
1. Place the car on the set-up board.
2. Push down and release the front and rear of the car so that the suspension
settles.
