They had Japanese cartoon characters and Japanese writing. You just went by the pictures and there was nothing close to a 1:1 part legend or tuning guide.
No numbered bags that correspond to the page your on, just a box of mixed up parts.
Maybe other manufacturers do a better job with the manuals, but I saw my friends scte manual and it was about worthless.
My DF03ra manual from last year was just as difficult to follow as my Astute manual from 20 years ago.
Funny...we're bashing on japanese manuals to a guy with "Tamiya" in his handle.
Ok, back on topic....ran my 4x4 with white front springs on the rear...blue up front with blue sways, front and back. Running on a fairly flowing high speed indoor dirt track (Motodome near Staples MN). It was like night and day compared to trying ANYTHING with the stock back springs....and I lucked out...with the rear shock collar down all the way, my ride height was just about perfect. No extra spacers needed.
