Good to know

Which book do I need?: Start with the book for your chassis. Add Gyro & Electronics if the car shakes on the straight, spins on throttle or runs hot: those are set in the electronics, whatever the chassis.
Where do the numbers come from?: From the makers' own manuals, setup sheets and product pages, and from setups published by known teams and shops. Each book is compiled by YAW's editorial desk, which works with AI assistance, and every figure says where it came from, with the sources listed at the back.
Is it an official guide?: Setup Books are independent guides by YAW. They are not affiliated with or endorsed by any maker. A maker's name says which car a book is for.
What language are they in?: The books are written in English.
What will I see on my card statement?: LINK.COM* YAWZINE.COM. Checkout is run by Link, Stripe's payment service, which sells the book on YAW's behalf, sends your receipt and takes care of any sales tax or VAT, all included in the price you see.
Can I get a refund?: Yes. If a book is not what you needed, write to support@yawzine.com within 14 days of buying it and we will refund you.
Can I share it?: A book is for the person who bought it. Print it, mark it up, take it to the track. Please don't pass the file on or post it.
What if I lose my download?: The links in your email from YAW keep working. If you can't find it, write to support@yawzine.com from the address you paid with.
