At the Track

The Chassis Setup Guide is great to have in your toolbox. Even experienced racers get flustered by a car not doing exactly what they want it to do. Checking the Chassis Setup Guide before making a change on the car is not a bad idea. You can choose to go in-depth on a topic by reading the full explanation, or flip to the back of the guide to view the Quick Summary Guide. The Quick Summary Guide provides a table of situations, such as the car being "Loose Off Power" with a table of changes for each common adjustment on the cars. Both the full explanation and the Quick Summary guide proved to be helpful at the track.


The Verdict

The XXX Main Chassis Setup Guide can help to shorten the learning curve for any new racer, and has proven to be a good setup guide for any established racer. Be sure to read page four, which explains how the book is organized, and how each adjustment and fine-tuning are explained. Highly recommended!
