Duratrax Evader ST - Tuning Guide; Caster; Camber

When tuning the Evader ST make sure that you have equal
length shocks on both sides (left and right), camber rods and
steering rods. Also, make sure to have the shock pre-load
adjusters at the same setting from left to right. They do not
have to be the same front to rear.
CASTER
Caster refers to the angle at which the kingpin is at in relation
to the surface when viewed from the side. 0 degrees of caster
means that the kingpin is straight up and down. The Evader
comes stock with 30 degrees of caster and is not adjustable.
CAMBER
Camber refers to the angle at which the tire and wheel ride in
relation to the ground when viewed from the front or rear.
Negative camber is when the tire and wheel lean inward and
positive camber is when the tire and wheel lean outward.
Typically you want 0 to 2 degrees of negative camber. Never
put in positive camber. Make sure that both sides have equal
amounts of camber by keeping the camber turnbuckles equal
in length.

1. Fill to the top
with oil. Let all air
bubbles rise to
the top before
assembly.
2. Slowly screw the cap
down about half way.
Push the piston part
way down to slowly
bleed off excess oil.
3. Tighten the cap a little
more and push the piston
down the rest of the way.
4. Finally, tighten the cap
all the way.
With a properly filled shock, the piston can be pushed in completely
and will then rebound about 3/8".
Exercise the shock a few times and listen for air bubbles. If you hear
any squishing, rebuild the shock.
