rclab is different!
Hi People Who loves the labrats,
First and foremost :
The Golden Rules of Set-up!
Always, always, always! Run your car in the exact kit set-up to start with.
This is a proven set-up, that will work on all surfaces with all tyres in all conditions. It will not be the fastest, but it will work and the car will be easy to drive. If you run this configuration and you car is not totally balanced and without vices then there is something wrong with your build!
You need to check your shocks are correctly set-up, and have the exact same lengths side to side. That your ride height it set-up correctly with at least 0.5mm higher at the rear. That your droop screws are correctly adjusted. And finally that all your suspension and steering parts turn and move freely under their own weight.
If not, then correct them and you will find that the car handles perfectly (and better than most if not all) in this kit_ mode.
After a couple of runs to get used to the car you can then start dialling in the car to your personal driving requirements, the track, the tyres and the surface. Only make one change at a time as this car will respond to adjustments and you will notice the difference. If you get lost in your adjustments - go back to kit as the proven starting point. ~ by rclab UK
From the experienced labrat runners:
- be prepared not to let the knowledge of your former 4WD Rear Motor Mount Car interfere with your new rclab
- many drivers have to relearn the whole 4WD chassis because of rclab Mid Mount Motor Design
- Open your minds and accept new technology
- rclab dares to lead and doesn't follow the trends
- there are a reason why it's Mid Mount Motor
