Camber: Camber is the angle of the tops of the tires

when viewed from the front. Negative camber is when

the tops of the tires are angled towards the center of

the truck. Positive camber is where the tops of the tires

are angled away from the center of the truck. Positive

camber is very rarely used, if ever. A small amount of

rear negative camber is helpful to increase traction in

the rear. Negative camber at the front will increase

stability. Camber adjustments can be made on the

Nitro Demon by turning the "camber rods," which are

the upper links on the suspension. Lengthening the

camber rod will add positive camber and shortening

the camber rod will add negative camber.

Shocks: Changes in shock oils, springs, and pre-load

on the springs can dramatically change the way the

car handles. A thicker shock oil will make the truck turn

faster but reduces overall traction and handling over

bumpy surfaces. Thinner oil will increase traction at

the expense of steering response and the car will tend

to roll more. In general, shock oils between 20 and 40

weight will be best for your stadium truck. You should

experiment some to see what oils work best for your

track and driving style. Shock springs affect the rate

that the suspension rebounds from a bump. We have

supplied soft springs that work under most conditions.

Pre-load on the springs means that the springs are

already compressed some so that the suspension will

rebound faster. Sometimes you will want to pre-load

one side when the track has turns all or mostly in one

direction, for instance an oval track. It will also

increase the ride height.

Before Each Run

• Check for loosened screws on the truck. Engine

vibration will loosen some of the screws, particularly

in the engine mount area. Use thread lock on screws

that thread into metal parts or use a metal nut.

• Inspect the air cleaner for a torn or damaged

element. Also look for dirt in the air cleaner element

and wash it if necessary.

• Check the suspension and drive train for binding.

• Inspect all of the wires for damage. Also check the

connectors to make sure all of them are tight and in

the proper place.

• Check the fuel tank and fuel lines for leaks.

• Before starting the engine, turn on the radio and

make sure the servos move easily and in the right

direction.

• Before running always check the condition of your

radio system batteries and replace/recharge if

necessary.

After Each Run

• Drain the fuel tank of any leftover fuel. DO NOT

return it to your fuel jug.

• Put some after-run oil in the carb and turn the

flywheel several times to work the oil into the

engine. This will protect the engine from rusting,

especially when stored for a long period of time.

• Check again for loosened screws.

• CLEAN the truck. Wipe off any oils that have

collected on the chassis, engine end exhaust. Oils

will attract dirt on the next run.
