b) Setting the Alignment

Wheelalignment(toe-in=gure„A“,toe-out=gure„B“)describesthe

relation of the wheel level to the driving direction.

While driving, the tyres are pushed apart in the front because of the rol-

ling friction. This is why 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 accordin-

gly by adjusting a toe-out, i.e. the wheels of the stationary vehicle point

outward.

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.

Setting front axle alignment:

For the front axle, alignment can be set by turning the track

rod (1). Because the track rod has a left and right hand

thread at either end, it does not need to be dismantled to

be adjusted.

Turn both track rods of the left and right front wheels even-

ly. Otherwise, you need to adjust the trim of the transmitter

or even correct the steering servo control (e.g. adjust ser-

vo rod or attach servo arm to the servo differently).

Setting rear axle alignment:

The track of the rear axle in this vehicle is set and cannot be changed.
