ETTING THE DAMPING
The four spring elements of the all-wheel suspension of the chassis consist each of a
coil spring in whose center and oil dampened suspension is located.
The four oil dampened suspensions are fastened to the lower transverse links and to the
"damper plates" on the differential housing.
The coil springs rest, at the top, against a spacer ring on the outer tube of the shock
absorber and a plate at the lower end of the piston rod.
With spacer rings of different thickness, the spring preload can be selected higher or
lower. Combining several spacer rings allows for the fine tuning of the spring preload
according to surface and manner of driving.
The setting of the suspension influences not only the ability of the model to "even out"
road unevenness, but also the behavior in bends.
This driving behavior is called to "oversteer" or to "understeer".
Exploded view
Understeering driving behavior:
The model is difficult to steer around the bend, "pushes" the front wheels outwards (too much traction of the
rear axle or too little traction of the steered front axle.
As a counter measure the suspension should be set harder at the rear (or softer at the front).
Over-steering driving behavior
The model "pulls" in the bend, the rear tends to swerve (too little traction on the rear axle or too much traction
at the steered front axle).
As a counter measure the suspension should be set softer at the rear (or harder at the front).
As a basic setting, the front axle should be set approximately 5 mm lower than the rear axle!
Over-steering or under-steering driving behavior can be the result of uneven cornering powers of front and
rear axle due to incorrect setting of the camber.
Setting the spring preload
- Increasing spring preload
Replacing the spacer ring with a
higher spacer ring from the accessories set
increases the spring preload,
the suspension will be "harder".
- Decreasing spring preload
Replacing the spacer ring with a
flatter one unloads the suspension,
the suspension will be "softer".

Tuning

By selecting the right shock absorber oil, you can influence the shock absorbing characteristics. The oil normally used in
the shock absorbers is perfectly suited for most applications.
On generally even ground, we recommend using a more viscous oil (high viscosity), on rough terrain, however, you should
use a low-viscosity oil.
Do not use any engine oil. We generally recommend using pure silicon shock absorber oil only.
To further optimize the damper characteristics, we offer, in our accessories, silicon oil for the shock absor-
bers in different viscosities!
