Troubleshooting
Damper attachment is loose.
Ensure all screws and nuts are tightened securely. Check if the correct size hardware is being used for the chosen mounting holes.
Suspension feels too stiff or too soft.
Experiment with different damper mounting hole positions on the carbon stay. Consult your chassis manual or online RC forums for setup guidance related to damper angle.
Carbon fiber stay appears cracked.
Immediately cease use and inspect for damage. While carbon fiber is strong, it can be brittle. Replace the stay if any cracks are visible, especially around mounting holes, to prevent failure.
Difficulty installing small attachment parts.
Use appropriate tools such as needle-nose pliers or tweezers. Ensure you are working in a well-lit area to avoid losing small components.
