Adjusting The Shock Absorbers - Reely Deathwatcher XL Bedienungsanleitung

16.3 Adjusting the shock absorbers

Figure 15: Front axle
At the upper end of the shock absorber, the spring tension can be adjusted by turning the knurled wheel (A).
The shock absorbers can be mounted in different positions on the shock absorber bridge (B) and the lower suspen-
sion arm (C). The manufacturer has preconfigured an optimal position, therefore changes should only be made by
professional drivers.
Always ensure that the shock absorbers on each axle are level (i.e. on the left and right wheel of the front or rear axle),
otherwise the vehicle may not respond correctly.
Professional drivers can also use springs with a different hardness grade or fill the shock absorbers with a shock
absorber oil of a different viscosity.
Just as with a "real" car, the model vehicle shock absorbers (or the rubber seals in them) are a wear part.
If oil leaks from the shock absorbers (e.g. the suspension arm is coated in oil, or there is dripping oil), the
gaskets or shock absorbers must be replaced.
