You will need to prep the body before you can paint it. Wash the inside thoroughly with warm water and liquid detergent. Dry the body using a clean, soft, lint-free cloth.
:: 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.
:: Tuning Tips (cont.) Rear Arm Hole: The inner hole in the arm tends to work the best over the bumps and jump sections. Changing to the outer hole in the rear arm will tend to make the rear end feel more “locked in” and less responsive. Making this change to the outer hole requires you to remove the downtravel limiters from the rear shocks. Rear Ride Height: The rear ride height setting you should use most often is 20 mm (the rear arms appear level when looking from the rear).
