:: Tuning Tips
Tips for Beginners:
Before making any changes to the standard setup, make sure you can get around the track without crashing.
Changes to your vehicle will not be beneficial if you can’t stay on the track. Your goal is consistent laps.
Once you can get around the track consistently, start tuning your vehicle. Make only ONE adjustment at a time, testing
it before making another change. If the result of your adjustment is a faster lap, mark the change on the included setup
sheet (make adddtional copies of the sheet before writing on it). If your adjustment results in a slower lap, revert back
to the previous setup and try another change.
When you are satisfied with your vehicle, fill in the setup sheet thoroughly and file it away. Use this as a guide for future
track days or conditions. Periodically check all moving suspension parts. Suspension components must be kept clean
and move freely without binding to prevent poor and/or inconsistent handling.

:: Painting Tips
Your B6 Team Kit comes with a clear polycarbonate body. You will need to prep the body before you can paint it.
Wash the INSIDE thoroughly with warm water and liquid detergent (do not use any detergents with scents or added
hand lotion ingredients!). Dry the body using a clean, soft, lint-free cloth. Use the supplied window masks to cover the
windows from the INSIDE of the body (RC cars get painted on the inside). Using high quality masking tape, apply tape
to the inside of the body to create a design. Spray (use either rattle can or airbrush) the paint on the inside of the body
(preferably dark colors first, lighter colors last).
NOTE: ONLY use paint that is recommended for use with (polycarbonate) plastics. If you do not, you can destroy the
plastic body!
After the paint has completely dried (usually after 24 hours), cut the body along the trim lines. Make sure to drill or use
a body reamer to make the holes for the antenna if needed! Use hook and loop tape to secure the body to the side rails
of the vehicle.
Gear Box Type:
Selecting the correct gear box is dependent on the type of track it will be used on. The optional 4 gear stand-up gear
box is for the lowest grip conditions. This gear box moves the weight towards the rear of the car and also uses the
rotation of the motor to transfer weight to the rear while on-power. The 3 gear stand-up gear box also moves the
weight towards the rear of the car, but in this configuration, the motor’s rotation helps with on-power steering.
The lay-down gear box is used on high grip conditions when on-power steering and stability are most important.
This gear box will change directions the quickest and generate the most steering.
