INCORRECT
USE ONLY separate ball-joints (part
#308316). DO NOT USE ball joints on
nylon parts frame.
CORRECT
HINT: Pre-thread the ball joint using an M3 screw.
WARNING! Be careful not to pre-thread too far, since the
ball joint may split or the plastic threads may strip out
SHOCK FILLING
SHOCK
OIL
Fully extend the piston rod so the piston is at the bottom of the shock body.
Hold the shock upright and slightly overfill the shock body with shock oil.
Let the oil settle and allow air bubbles to rise to the top. Slowly move the piston up and down until
no more air bubbles appear. Add shock oil as necessary.
Pull the piston rod most of the way out of the shock body. Let the shock rest for 5 minutes to allow
the air bubbles to escape.
CUTAWAY VIEW
After the shock is assembled, the shock rod will push itself
out of the shock body fairly quickly.
Follow the next procedure to adjust the rebound.

After the shock is assembled you have to set the Shock Rebound.
1. To set the Shock Rebound, release the shock composite lower cap.
3. After you have set the Rebound Adjustment, re-install the shock lower composite cap.
2. VERY SLOWLY do the following: Fully pull out the shock rod, push it back in fully, and then fully pull
it out once more. Repeat this procedure the following number of times to achieve the desired Shock
Rebound setting:
10 times - approximately 75% rebound (high rebound - suggested for very low traction track)
15 times - approximately 50% rebound (medium rebound - suggested for standard track)
20 times - approximately 25% rebound (low rebound - suggested for very high traction track)
During the Rebound Adjustment procedure shock oil will leak out of the shock body through the O-ring
on the shock rod... this is normal. During the Rebound Adjustment procedure DO NOT open the upper
shock cap.
4. Check the Shock Rebound setting by pushing the shock rod fully into the shock body, releasing it, and
observing how far the shock rod extends by itself:
* 25% out of the shock body (low rebound)
* 50% out of the shock body (medium rebound)
* 75% out of the shock body (high rebound).
If the shock rod rebounds too much, return to Step 1 and repeat the procedure.
If the shock rod does not rebound enough, you will have to refill the shock with shock oil, and then repeat
the bleeding and Shock Rebound procedure.

Turn on transmitter and receiver and set the throttle servo trim to the neutral
position.
Adjust the idle adjustment screw on the carburetor to open approx. 0.5-1mm.
Adjust both collars on the carb and brake linkages accordingly. The carb
linkage must have approximately 0.5mm of preload on the spring at neutral.
DO NOT ADJUST while the engine is running.
Approx. 0.5-1mm
Engine idling
FULL THROTTLE
With the engine NOT RUNNING but the receiver turned ON, apply full throttle at
the transmitter.
Adjust the transmitters throttle servo high-end point so that the servo horn fully
opens the carburetor when the transmitters throttle control (e.g., throttle trigger)
is at 95% of full throttle. The servo should not have excessive strain when at full
throttle, or throttle/carb damage will result.
If the transmitter does not have throttle high-end point adjustment, adjust the
throttle linkage pivot position on the servo horn until full throttle is obtained.
BRAKE
BRAKE ADJUSTING
COLLAR
Adjust the composite collar on the brake linkage so the brakes work smoothly.
If the brakes apply too much or not enough, adjust the collar accordingly. If your
transmitter has throttle servo low-end point adjustment (or brake adjustment), use
that to set the appropriate amount of throttle servo horn throw.
