Chassis Tuning

The Mini SCT has several adjustments available to you for

tuning the performance for your needs. Although there are

multiple shock positions and camber link locations provided,

we have built the model with the best overall settings. The

following are simple adjustments and easily maintained

settings to assure proper operation and performance. It is

advised when making any adjustment that you do so in small

increments and always check for other parts of the chassis

that are affected.

Slipper Adjustments

The Mini SCT is equipped with a slipper device offering

both traction control and protection for the transmission.

The slipper is primarily used to help absorb sudden impacts

on the drivetrain due to landing big jumps or when using

more powerful aftermarket motors and/or battery packs.

Additionally, it can be used to smooth out the flow of power

to the rear wheels and limit wheel spin when running on

extremely slick surfaces.

Increase

Slip

Reduce

Slip

Adjustment is made by turning the 3mm adjustment nut

clockwise (to the right) to reduce the slip, or counterclockwise

(to the left) to increase the slip.

When adjusted properly, you should be able to hold the rear

tires firmly and barely be able to push the spur gear forward

with your thumb.
To track test, turn the Mini SCT on and place it on the

ground. As you push it backwards allowing it to roll freely,

punch the throttle. The slipper should slip no more than an

inch or two as it accelerates. With the included motor and

battery pack it should slip just a little. Make sure you replace

the gear cover before running.

Steering Rate

Your transmitter is equipped with a steering rate control to

the left of the steering wheel. This advanced feature, usually

found only on competition-type radios, allows you to adjust

the amount the front tires move when you turn the steering

wheel. This is really helpful when you are on slick, as well as

high-traction surfaces.

If your Mini SCT turns too sharply and/or spins out easily,

try turning the steering rate down by rotating the knob

counterclockwise (to the left).
