Default RE: TRF801X Build Thread

Tamiya applied threadlock to the axles already, so all we need to do is tighten the wheel nut. With the wheels on, we can set the ride height.

Lift the front end up again and let car drop on the board. The ride height is adjusted by the collars on the shock. Use the gauge to measure both front and rear ride height. (Had to two gauge it again here... grr) Make sure you measure the flat part on the front, not the angled portion of the chassis.

We are now done the basic setups you need on the car. I've left out other things like anti-roll/tweak etc. Some of the other setups are already done when we built the car. While others are non adjustable on this car and/or optional adjustments to make after test runs. I suggest you learn about them, and adjust as you need to. A good resource is the Hudy setup book, downloadable online. These basic steps should at least get you a car that doesn't handle out of spec.
