FTX PHANTOM 12th??
 
Hi Guys
Could anyone help with a set up for this car. I haven't run the car yet!
The kit came with green tyres all round. I will change to purple front/grey rear. Not sure how to change the front ride height?

Remove the 2 screws in each lower arm and insert a spacer that should have come with the car. This will lower the front end. You should aim for no less than 3mm front & rear. £1 coin is a good guide.

spacers will look similar the ones in this pic

I use to get them cut and sell them, they were better than the ones by Fibre-Lyte, although they cut mine. Much easier to use. Action Model Centre now own the pattern I had. I'll see if I can find a picture.

Thats all really useful info thanks
Had my first outing with the FTX this week! Its awesome fun! Think I could get addicted to 12th?? though I did break a wishbone. It now has a complete L4 front end and body posts! The associated parts look my stronger!

Check out associated L4 setups as its virtually the same car but not carbon.
