INTRODUCTION
Setting up a racecar with fully independent suspension, like your
Serpent 710, is necessary to make the car perform well. We have
developed these straightforward procedures to help you set up your
car properly and easily. Always follow these procedures step-by-step,
in the order presented, and always make sure that you make equal
adjustments on both left and right sides of the car.
These setup guidelines are divided into two major sections.
• Section A: Basic Setup - describes default settings for your 710.
• Section B: Advanced Setup - describes the effects of setup
changes.
Setup Order
We have determined that you should set up your 710 in the order
indicated in the table below. The order of the settings has been
determined as the most logical to set up your 710 properly and easily.
Also, certain settings must be made before others, as changing one
setting will impact another setting.
The table below gives you a breakdown of what components need to be
attached on the car, and what you will need to measure the setting.
For example, to set the car’s camber:
• attach the shocks
• detach the anti-roll bars
• attach the wheels
• use a at board
