For sharper or additional steering, try turning the knob

clockwise (to the right).

Camber

Camber is the angle of the tires to the racing surface when

viewed from the front or rear of the truck.

You want to keep both the front and rear tires straight up and

down or leaning in at the top very slightly.
If you are running on carpet or similar high traction surfaces,

you may find leaning the tires in a bit more helps. This

adjustment is made with the threaded links extending from

the front or rear bulkhead to the spindle carrier or rear hub.

Making the camber rods shorter increases the camber and

lean-in of the tire, while making the camber rods longer

decreases the camber.

Toe-In

This is the relationship of the left and right side tire to one

another.

Ideally, you want the front of the tires to be pointed inward

toward each other just slightly when viewed from above. This

makes the model track straight and stable. This is controlled

with the threaded steering rods on either side. As you make

them longer you will increase the toe-in and vice versa.

Ride Height

This is the height the chassis sits and runs at. Spring spacers

included with the Mini SCT, when installed between the

shock top and spring, will increase the pre-load on the spring

and raise the chassis. You may want to try this when running

on extremely rough surfaces.

Service/Repair

Radio/Speed Control & Motor

If you have any problems other than those covered in

the troubleshooting section, please call the appropriate

electronics service department. They will be able to give your

specific problem additional attention and instruct you as to

what needs to be done.

Maintenance

If you have any questions other than those covered in the

troubleshooting or maintenance sections, please call the

appropriate Horizon product support department.

Cleaning

Performance can be hindered if dirt gets in any of the moving

suspension parts. Use compressed air, a soft paintbrush, or

toothbrush to remove dust or dirt. Avoid using solvents or

chemicals as they can actually wash dirt into the bearings or

moving parts as well as cause damage to the electronics.
