Gear Mesh:
To correctly set your gear mesh, follow the steps below:
1. Loosen the set screw on the motor’s pinion gear. Slide the pinion on the motor shaft until the gear face of the pinion
is entirely aligned with the gear face of the spur gear (see diagram). Tighten the set screw while ensuring it is aligned
with the flat face on the motor shaft.
2. Loosen the motor screws until the motor is able to move freely.
Slidethe motor as far as it can go towards the spur gear, ensuring that
the teeth of the pinion and the spur gear are interlocking. Slide the motor
back (approximately 0.5 mm), and tighten the motor screws.
Proper gear mesh has been achieved when the teeth are meshing closely,
but the gears still have a small amount of clearance between them. If you hold
one gear, you should be able to rock the other gear back and forth a small
amount. If there is no clearance, your gear mesh is too tight and you should
readjust the motor again.

Adjusting Ride Height:
The truck’s ride height can be increased by adding pre-load clips to the shocks.
Removing pre-load clips will decrease the ride height. Compress the spring and
insert the pre-load clips between the spring collar and the shock body flange.
Adding or removing ride height clips does not increase or decrease spring rate.
