Adjusting The Toe Angle; Adjusting The Camber Angle; Recommended Initial Settings - XTM Racing X-Terminator 2 Operating Instructions Manual

The toe angle is the angle of both front tyres (or rear tyres) to each other, when viewed from above. Toe-in is when the front of both
tyres point toward each other and toe-out is when the front of both tyres point away from each other.
For the front tyres, toe-in will make your xT2 track (run) straighter, but the steering will be more sensitive. Toe-out will desensitise
●
the steering, making the XT2 a little more driver-friendly.
For the rear tyres, if you're running on a smooth surface, we suggest no toe-in. If you are running on a rough surface, we suggest
●
about 1 - 2 degrees of toe-in. This will give the rear end a little more "bite" (traction).

❑ To adjust the toe-angle of the front tyres, turn the tie-rods (steel rods connecting each wheel to the steering arm) in or out with the
adjustable wrench provided.
❑ To adjust the toe-in on the rear tyres, use one of the different composite suspension plate holders provided to set the desired toe angle, as
described in the procedures below. For convenience, the degree of toe angle is moulded into the back of each suspension plate holder.
Camber is referred to as the amount of the tyre's surface that contacts the ground. Tyres that are exactly perpendicular to the ground
have 0 degrees of camber. If the top of the tyre leans in toward the chassis, the tyre has negative camber. If the top of the tyre leans
out away from the chassis, the tyre has positive camber.

reCommenDeD initiaL settings

For driving on smooth surfaces set both the front and back tyres at 0 degrees.
●
For driving on rough surfaces set the front tyres at -1 degree and the back tyres at -2 degrees.
●
❑ Adjust the camber angle of the tyres by turning the upper turnbuckles in or out using the adjustable wrench provided.

0 degrees toe-in on the front and 2 degrees on the rear for overall best 4WD
●
driveability on most surfaces. 2 degrees toe-in on the rear is stock.
+
Adding more than 3 degrees of toe-in or toe-out on the front will result in excessive
loss of speed and erratic handling. Toe adjustments should be measured with the XT2
at its normal ride height.
PRO TIP For more precise toe angle adjustments, use a dedicated toe angle
adjustment gauge, available at most hobby retailers.
❑ Remove the two screws from the bottom of the chassis that hold the suspension
holder support in place, the remove the suspension holder support from the chassis.
❑ Remove the two screws that hold the suspension plate holder in place, then carefully
pull out the suspension plate holder, being careful not to pull out the hinge pins.
❑ Install the desired suspension plate holder. Installation is the reverse of the
disassembly procedure.
