b) Setting the Alignment

Wheel alignment (toe-in = figure „a", toe-out = figure „b") describes the
relation of the wheel level to the driving direction.
The tyres are pushed apart in the front by rolling friction when driving.
Therefore, they are no longer precisely parallel to the driving direction.
To compensate, the tyres of the stationary vehicle can be adjusted so
that they point slightly inwards. This toe-in improves lateral cornering of
the tyres and leads to a more direct response to steering.
If a milder response to steering is desired, this can be achieved
accordingly by adjusting a toe-out, i.e. the wheels of the stationary
vehicle point outward. An alignment angle of 0° on the front axle ensures
the best driveability on almost any ground.
An alignment angle of more than 3° toe-in (a) or toe-out (b) will lead to handling problems and decreased
speed. It will also increase tyre wear.
The figure above shows a strongly over-emphasised setting. It is only used for showing the difference
between toe-in and toe-out. If such a setting is used for the vehicle, it will be very difficult to control!
Setting the alignment:
A
For the front axle, alignment can be set by turning the adjustment screw (A). Because the adjustment screw has a left
and right hand thread at either end, it does not need to be dismantled to be adjusted.
Turn both adjustment screws (A) evenly (left and right front wheel). Otherwise, you need to adjust the trim
of the transmitter or even correct the steering servo control (e.g. adjust servo rods or attach servo arm to
the servo differently).
