SHOCK DAMPENING
of the shocks. Typically, if you are running on smooth surfaces, use a heavier weight
oil. If you are running on rough surfaces, use a lighter weight oil.
●
30Wt shock oil is stock. This is good for all-around use. For racing, you may
want to consider using 35Wt - 40Wt shock oil.
IMPORTANT Do not use motor oil. We recommend using only 100% Silicone
Shock Oil.
If your XT2's steering seems sluggish or slow to react, the servo saver spring could be
too loose. To increase steering response, thread the servo saver adjustment ring up
to tighten the servo saver spring.
WARNING Tightening the servo saver spring increases the chance of damaging
the steering servo during a crash. Adjust only as necessary.
The front upper hinge pins can be moved up and down to adjust bump steer. Generally, if you move the hinge pins into a lower
position, this will increase bump steer, which can be helpful on tight tracks. For a larger track, you may want to move the hinge pins
to a higher position to decrease bump steer.
●
We recommend initially leaving the front upper hinge pins in the factory locations.
❑ Adjust bump steer by removing the upper hinge pins and reinstalling them, along
with the upper suspension arms, in a hole either further up or lower down.
RECOMMENDED INITIAL SETTINGS
IMPORTANT When tightening the hex nut on the back of the hinge pins, be careful
not to overtighten them or the hinge pins may not pivot freely. When adjusting the
hinge pin positions, make sure to adjust the right and left sides equally.
The XT2 shock towers feature a number of different mounting positions for the shocks.
By changing the location of the upper shock mounts you can make the shock feel stiffer
or softer as the XT2 rolls. In general, moving the shocks toward the outside will make
the shock stiffer and moving the shock toward the inside will make the shock softer.
track and driving style. A good start is to adjust the rear shocks. Moving the rear shocks
how you drive, you might want to move the shock toward the middle. This will give a
more "plush" suspension.
Droop is the distance each wheel drops from normal ride height when the chassis is lifted off the ground. Droop is adjusted on each
wheel be turning the grub screw in each lower suspension arm up or down. Generally, more droop equals more roll equals more
traction. Less droop equals less roll equals less traction. Droop also changes weight transfer. Experimentation will be necessary to
achieve the desired response, dependant on your track conditions and driving style.
