Engine: Zenoah engine 23CC/26CC by Komatsu or CY engine by Cyang Yung
These parts are all a direct fit to the Cleon MMX off-road buggy.
11 Cleon set-up
The Cleon off-road buggy is a top competition racing machine. It therefor features multiple points for adjusting and
mounting the parts. These points have been choosen carefully allowing you to quickly change and set-up the car
during a race.
Setting up a car is personal. Below are given some general guidelines to get you started.
We advise you not to make more than 1 adjustment per time unless you are very experienced and skilled. By
adjusting just 1 part in your set-up, you will be able to determine much better if it did improve the handeling of
your car or not.
We advise to make adjustments always equal on both s
ides of the car !
