Vehicle Settings

a) Setting the Camber

The camber is the inclination of the wheel level as compared to the vertical.
Negative inclination
(Top wheel edge points inwards)
The setting of the wheel is exaggerated in the two figures in order to make the difference between negative
and positive cambers more obvious. The setting on the model vehicle should of course not be as extreme
as shown!
• A negative inclination of the front wheels increases the lateral cornering powers of the wheel when driving through
bends, the steering reacts more directly and steering forces are reduced. At the same time, the wheel is pushed onto
the axle leg in the direction of the axle. This balances out axial bearing clearance, the driving behaviour is calmer.
• A negative inclination of the rear wheels reduces the tendency of the rear of the vehicle to swerve in bends.
• Setting a positive camber on the other hand reduces the cornering force of the wheels and should not be used.
Setting Front and Rear Axle Camber:
For setting the camber, turn the screw (A) of the upper trans-
verse link.
Because this screw has a left and right hand thread at either
end, the transverse link does not need to be dismantled for
the camber to be adjusted.
Furthermore, the rear axle spur (B) and the two dampener
bridges (C) have several different suspension points for the
upper transverse link.
If the transverse link was attached in a different location, this
changes the camber when the wheel deflects and extends.
The manufacturer has already selected the best setting for
the vehicle. Therefore, you should not change the attach-
ment point (B and C).
