In order to make sure you do not damage or melt your brake or clutch assembly, follow these instructions carefully. They are already noted in your kit manual, but it is worth checking before your run your truck.

REAR SCREW SHAFTS
Some owners of the first batch of Nitro Rush kits may experience one of the screw shafts on the inside rear of the suspension arms coming loose. If this happens, you can use a thick plastic-based glue like Shoe Goo on the threads to help hold the screw shaft in place. You can also replace the screws shaft with our #6282 3 x 42mm stainless steel hinge pins. You will need four #Z242 2mm e-clips if you use the stainless steel hinge pins.

DOING DONUTS
It is very important to note doing "donuts" (holding full throttle while turning all the way in one direction) for an extended length of time (a full tank) is extremely stressful to the differentials, and is NOT recommended.

SLIPPER CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
Note that the slipper clutch nut (see page 19) should not be set too loose. Too loose of a setting can melt the slipper pad. It's better to be too tight than too loose with the slipper clutch on the Nitro Rush.

Raising the Rear End
Move the top of the shocks one hole in on the rear suspension arm or use the 2mm shock clip from the #6817 shock parts set. You can also purchase our blue springs (#6798) for the rear end of the Rush to make the rear end sit higher. A selection of springs is also useful to tune the truck to track conditions. The #6817 parts tree is a very useful option part for all of our kits, it contains three pairs of different thickness shock clips and rebuild parts.

If you are an experienced Nitro 2WD truck driver we suggest our new white front springs (#6783) and purple rear springs (#6799), this will help give the Rush more steering and raise the rear ride height. 

Dogbones
The Nitro Rush kits include our 3rd generation MT dogbones, and should have no problems with breakage or stress.

Suspension Arms
Note that you do NOT need to boil the suspension arms that come with the Nitro Rush kits.
