Default What is the proper way to use a tweak station

Help !
what is the proper way to adjust your car on a MIP Tweak Station.
when i put the car on the tweak station, i put the front of the car on the end that has the bubble for balance.
Do you adjust the rear shocks or do you adjust the front shocks to balance the car.
Do you adjust only the front or rear or both.
i tried to adjust both ends. lol i made the car worst. lol
Help !!!
thanks

Well, first I make sure I have everything in the can that it is going to run with, battery, electronics, ect. Then I set the ride high, then the droop, then off to the tweak station we go!!!!!!!! Start with one end. make small adjustments to the shocks, all of them if you have to get the end you are working on to balance. Then do the other end the same way. Then check the other end to see what the other end went to and fix it. Recheck your ride height, make sure it is were you want it still and after that your ready to hit the track. Some cars are easy, JRXS, some are not so easy, TC3 rtr with shocks with shims. You get the picture. I hope this helps.

Be sure and level the tweek station first. The car should be placed on the tweek station as if it was ready to go on the track. All shock lengths should be the same, droop is set, and you should even make sure that the shock collars are equal, left to right on the front and rear. Place the car with the front wheels on the bubble bar. Adjust the rear shock collars to balance the bubble, now reverse the car with the rear wheels on the bubble bar and adjust the front collars to balance the bubble. Now reset your ride height and you should be ready to go. You can also do this with a flat level surface using the same method as what Shookie posted.

SWEEEET, I got my tweak station in the mail yesterday. Good input from all. Greatly appreciated, now that I understand how to use it.....

Tooo funny, googled for the thread, posted, then re-read and seen it is 6 years old. Still good info though.
