Camber
Camber is the angle of the tires to the racing surface when viewed from the
front or rear of the vehicle. 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/Toe-Out
This is the relationship of the left and right side
tires to one another. Ideally you want the front of
the tires to be pointed inward to 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. By shortening the links, you
will gain toe-out, which will give the model more
off-power steering and make it wander on the
straightaway.
Ride Height
This is the height the chassis sits and runs at. Spring spacers included with the Mini-Late Model, 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.
Battery Location
The Mini-Late Model has multiple battery locations. The stock configuration is with the battery in the center of the vehicle in
the back location. You are also able to run the battery in the forward location by putting the battery foam in the rear of the
battery tray and moving the battery forward. Running the battery in the forward location will yield less off-power steering
but more on-power steering. The battery also can be used on the left side of the chassis for improved corner speed. Please be
aware some setup change may be needed when offsetting the battery onto the left side of the vehicle.
Tires
The Mini-Late Model comes with hard compound front tires and standard (soft) compound rear tires.
Service/Repair

needs to be done.

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.
Receiver/Speed Control (ESC) Installation/Removal
Unplug the power lead, motor leads and steering servo. Do not attempt to open the receiver or electronic speed control (ESC)
as only a factory technician has the proper tools and parts to make any repairs necessary. The receiver and ESC are mounted
with double-sided foam tape. Use your thumb and index finger at the bottom of the front corners to pull them from the
mount. If this is difficult, ask for help. If necessary, carefully use a large flat blade screwdriver between the unit and the mount
to pry it loose. Make sure you remove any leftover foam or adhesive before remounting with common servo tape or hobby-
type foam tape.
