Standard/Baseline settings.

[WannaBrcDad]

Coming down to the nitty gritty on my 410sl. I'm keeping much of the recommended setting stock to have a good baseline to build off of. Only thing I'm struggling to find is toe/camber of the wheels and shock collar height. I get there's going to be a lot of factors that can effect why one way or another. But what's a good rule of thumb everyone sticks with? -1 camber front, -3 camber back? Toe even up front or slightly out? No clue what to go with on shock adjustment. I don't wanna bottom out bad on the first jump and blow my shock towr out, but I also don't wanna hit and bounce back in the air. Any help or a videonto watch would be appreciated.

The back of the manual has the box stock setup sheet which shows all the baseline settings. Put your battery and body on while adjusting ride height, toe, and camber.

I will normally setup my RCs using the box stock setup in the manuals if I'm building a new kit without any insight as to how it handles things.

One thing that I always ignore is the ride height... I'll do that visually. I run my RCs on rougher track and will always start ride heights out at bones level with maybe a slightly/just a hair lower than bones level on the rear. I want equal up/down travel of the shocks and drive shafts as much as possible.

I have found that the springs will break-in, and you will need to readjust the shock spring collars afterwards. How long that break-in process takes? I don't know. Just keep an eye on the ride heights for awhile.
