To increase rear track-width, turn OUT the
rear upper pivotball AND both rear lower
pivotballs. To decrease rear track-width,
turn IN the rear upper pivotball AND both
rear lower pivotballs; do this equally for
both right and left sides.
A4. RIDE HEIGHT
Ride height is the distance between the bottom of the chassis and the
reference surface on which the car is sitting. Adjust ride height with the
car ready-to-run but without the body.
Initial steps
A Shocks: Connect front and rear shocks.
B Anti-roll bars: Disconnect front and rear anti-roll bars.
C Wheels: Mount a set of wheels/tires with diameters of 62mm front /
62mm rear.
Set-up apparatus
Measure ride height with the car sitting on
a at reference surface (such as a HUDY
setup board).
Measuring ride height
Measure the ride height using a HUDY ride
height gauge or calipers from the very end
points at the front and rear of the car.
A4.1 Setting front ride height
Front ride height setting = 6mm
Set the front ride height to 6mm.
Increase the front ride height by tightening
the shock preload collars on the front
shocks. This moves the collars DOWN the
shock body.
Decrease the front ride height by loosening
the shock preload collars on the front
shocks. This moves the collars UP the
shock body.
Make sure you change the shock preload on both front shocks equally.
A4.2 Setting rear ride height
Rear ride height setting = 6mm
Set the rear ride height to 6mm.
Increase the rear ride height by tightening the shock preload collars on
the rear shocks. This moves the collars DOWN the shock body.
