Use the proper bushing, to achieve requested front track-width.
The X10’14 Link has adjustable track-width of the front suspension. There are 3 different bushings 0mm
centric (in the kit), 0.5mm eccentric (optional), and 1mm eccentric bushing (optional). Use the same
bushing in front and rear and also use the same orientation of the bushing on both right and left side.

OIL
Add oil in each slot of the Derlin™ side shock tubes.
NOTE: Add oil only in the slots, not on the whole tube.
After assembling the side tubes, check for smooth
operation.
NOTE: It is very important to re-oil the side tubes, as
least once per race day.
NOTE: You may use different oil thicknesses depending
on track conditions.
The angle of the side tubes has a fine effect on car performance.
The higher the angle, the stiffer it feels and the less it rolls. The less
(flatter) the angle, the softer it feels and the more it rolls.
