Some residual shock
uid may appear from
your rst few runs
around the shock cap
as a result of bleeding.
Leave a gap when
installing the shock cap.
Compress shock shaft half way.
Let shock uid bleed from cap, then
tighten cap.
For less rebound, compress shock
shaft farther before tightening the
shock cap.
For more rebound, do not
compress shock shaft as far
before tightening the shock cap.

Set The Gear Mesh:
To set the gear mesh, push the teeth of the motor
mount cam #21531 into the corresponding tooth
pattern of the motor mount insert. Once the teeth
are seated, you should be able to rock the spur gear
back and forth without making the pinion gear move.
Exessive amounts of spur gear movement (loose
gear mesh) will cause premature gear failure. If the
spur gear mesh is tight, there will be no movement
between the spur and pinion gears. A gear mesh that
is too tight or too loose will reduce power and
damage the gear teeth.
