With both the transmitter and the receiver turned on, and the throttle trim and the servo arm centred, the XST 4WD Truggy RTR should
roll forward smoothly when pushed (i.e., the brakes should be disengaged). If the brakes are dragging when the throttle trigger is at
neutral, the brake discs will wear out very quickly. To ensure that the brakes are disengaged, always make sure that there is a 1mm /
1/16" wide gap between the two rear collars and the two brake levers. Both collars should be adjusted so that they are equal distance
behind each of the two brake levers. This will ensure that both brake levers engage equally during braking.
Since the front and rear brakes can be adjusted independently of each other, you may not want both front and rear brakes to engage at
the same time. If you want the rear brakes to engage just before the front brakes, move the collar at the front brake lever just a fraction
further back from neutral. This will result in the rear brakes engaging just before the front brakes. If you want the front brakes to engage
just before the rear brakes, move the collar at the rear brake lever just a fraction further back from neutral. This will result in the front
brakes engaging just before the rear brakes. Experimentation will be necessary to achieve the desired braking response, dependant
on your track conditions and driving style.

We suggest initially leaving the brake linkage collars in the factory positions, then
readjust them after driving your XST 4WD Truggy RTR a couple of times.
RECOMMENDED INITIAL SETTINGS
q T
o make adjustments to the brake linkage, simply loosen the grub screw in the collars
behind the brake levers and reposition them, then retighten the grub screws.
Moving the collars forward, toward the brake levers, will result in the brakes
coming on sooner and more forcefully.
By adjusting the spring tension of the shocks, you can increase steering sensitivity, adjust the ride-height of the XST 4WD Truggy RTR and
ne-tune the damping quality of the suspension system. How you drive your XST 4WD Truggy RTR will dictate what settings you should
be using. As an example, if you're driving your XST 4WD Truggy RTR off-road and going over lots of jumps, you may want to increase the
spring tension of the front shocks to help prevent the front of the XST 4WD Truggy RTR from bottoming out. If you're racing your XST 4WD
Truggy RTR, local track conditions will dictate the settings to use.
l
We recommend initially leaving all of the adjustment rings at their factory settings.
q I
ncrease or decrease spring tension by threading the adjustment ring up or down the
shock body. Threading the ring down increases spring tension and the chassis's ride
height, and will stiffen the overall damping characteristics of the suspension. Threading
the ring up decreases spring tension and makes the damping characteristics of the
suspension softer.

When adjusting the spring tension, make sure to adjust the right and left shocks equally.
RECOMMENDED INITIAL SETTINGS
Shock springs are easy to change and can make a difference in the way your XST 4WD Truggy RTR handles relative to the type of
terrain you're driving on. If you drive your XST 4WD Truggy RTR off-road, in a smooth, high-traction area, use stiffer springs to reduce
body roll and weight shift. If the area where you drive your XST 4WD Truggy RTR is very bumpy, you might consider using softer springs
to help absorb the bumps. If the area is bumpy and you use harder springs, the XST 4WD Truggy RTR will have a tendency to jump and
hop around. The shock springs included with the XST 4WD Truggy RTR are suitable for most general off-road applications.
