slot-it motor pod adjustment - Charlie - 9th-Apr-23

I have read about the adjustment of slot-it motor pods, using the 4 screws underneath the chassis, is this something that can help ? if so, do the screws slacken to lower it ?   or should I just leave it alone cos I don`t know what I`m doing !!!

I don't know what I'm doing either but if it's currently done up tight so the pod doesn't move separately from the chassis then you have a reference point you can return to if you don't notice or like any changes in driveability after playing around with the screws.

If that's the case play around with backing off the screws. What I'd be aiming for - bearing in mind I don't know what I'm doing either - is a little float (free movement) of the pod within the chassis.

Those who know what they're doing will be along shortly to give more detail on the process and what to expect, I'm sure.

A motor pod sits on top of the chassis so you can't 'lower it' unless you remove material from the pod or chassis.

By backing the screws off you're allowing the body and chassis to move without affecting the pod and rear tyres, in effect the chassis drops slightly as the screws are backed off.  This will also lower the bodyshell so watch the tyre clearance in the wheel arches.

These are dead simple cars, don't overthink something that's blindingly obvious.
