To get the most from your RC vehicle, you should know afew things about vehicle tuning. Most RC vehicles have aTON of tuning adjustments available on them, but it’s whateach adjustment does that is the big mystery. If you canmaster the tuning, you can make your car work at anytrack and on any surface.

CompetitionX has compiled a list of the tuning options onmost RC cars. While the process of adjusting the tuningfeature might differ slightly from vehicle to vehicle, theactual tuning function will still be the same.

PLEASE NOTE: It is a good idea to write down the setupthat comes with the car. If you decide to get adventurousand start making changes, you could end up with an ill-handling vehicle. Having the original setup willprovide you a ‘back-up’ point. If you need one, you can head on over to the CompetitionX Blank SetupSheet section and download a copy.
