Tips for Beginners:

Before making any changes to the standard setup, make sure you can get around the track without crashing.
Changes to your vehicle will not be beneficial if you can't stay on the track. Your goal is consistent laps.
Once you can get around the track consistently, start tuning your vehicle. Make only ONE adjustment at a time, testing
it before making another change. If the result of your adjustment is a faster lap, mark the change on the included setup
sheet (make adddtional copies of the sheet before writing on it). If your adjustment results in a slower lap, revert back
to the previous setup and try another change.
Peridicaly check all moving suspension parts. Suspension components must be kept clean and move freely without
binding to prevent poor and/or inconsistent handling.

Motor Gearing:

Proper motor gearing will result in maximum performance and run time while reducing the chance of overheating and
premature motor failure. The gear ratio chart lists recommended suggested starting gear ratios for the most
widely used motor types. Gear ratios will vary depending upon motor brand, wind, and electronic speed control.
Consult your motor and electronic speed control manufacturers for more information.
Team Associated is not responsible for motor damage due to improper gearing.

* Optional spur gear / pinion used
Set The Gear Mesh:
You should be able to rock the spur gear back and forth in the teeth of the pinion gear without making the pinion gear
move. If the spur gear mesh is tight, then loosen the #31532 screws and move the motor away, then try again.
A gear mesh that is too tight or too loose will reduce power and damage the gear teeth.
