Ride Height is the distance measured from the bottom of the chassis to the ground. This adjustment should always be made with the car in race ready condition, meaning all electronics installed, including the motor and battery. In the rear, Ride Height should be set to where the dogbones (or CVD’s) are set to level. In the front, set the Ride Height to where the dogbones are level or slightly above.
For high bite tracks, use a slightly lower Ride Height. For low traction, raise the truck up slightly. Raising the Ride Height will cause the car to roll more…good for low traction. This will also help the truck through rough and bumpy areas of the track.
