SECTION A - BASIC SETUP
This section describes the default settings for the 710. We strongly
recommend you thoroughly read this section so you understand how the
settings are adjusted.
The setup described here is a good starting point. After rebuilding the
chassis, or in case you become lost with your setup, always return to
the setup described here.
If you choose to adjust the settings to better suit different track
conditions, see “Section B: Advanced Setup.” Make small adjustments,
one at a time, and see if you nd any improvement in handling with
each adjustment. We advise you to keep track of your setup changes,
and record which setups work best at different racetracks under various
conditions.
A1. DOWNSTOPS
Downstops limit how far the wishbones travel downward (which
determines how far upwards the chassis travels). Make sure you adjust
downstops so they are equal on both left and right sides.
Initial steps
A Shocks: It is not necessary to remove the shocks, however you must
be sure that they are long enough not to limit the suspension travel. Be
sure the suspension is reaching the downstop limits before the shocks
are fully extended.
B Front anti-roll bar: Loosen the setscrew from the front anti-roll bar
mounts and push the blades apart so that they are not touching.
C Rear anti-roll bar: Disconnect one ball-joint from the rear anti-roll bar.
D Wheels: Remove the wheels from the car.
Set-up apparatus
Check downstops with the chassis elevated above a reference surface. A
special, at reference board is available from HUDY (#108200 Flat Set-
up Board). We also advise you to use the downstop measuring set from
HUDY.
Measuring downstops
Using the measuring gauge, measure the
distance from the reference surface to the
bottoms of the front steering blocks / rear
uprights. Positive numbers indicate the
distance (in mm) ABOVE the level of the
elevating blocks (or, above the bottom of
the chassis). Negative numbers indicate
the distance (in mm) BELOW the level of
the elevating blocks (or, below the bottom
of the chassis).
