j) Stopping the Vehicle
To stop driving, proceed as follows:
• Letgoofthethrottle/brakeleveronthetransmittersothatitgoesintoneutralposition,andletthevehiclerunout.
• Whenthevehiclehasstopped,switchoffthespeedcontroller.Nevertouchthewheelsorthedrivemechanism,and
make sure you do not move the throttle/brake lever at the transmitter!
Attention!
The motor, the speed controller and the drive battery get hot during operation! Do not touch these parts
immediately after operation. Danger of burns!
• Disconnectthedrivebatteryfromthespeedcontroller.Disconnecttheplug-inconnectioncompletely.
• Nowyoumayturnoffthetransmitter.
10. Adjustment Possibilities for the Model Car
a) Setting the Camber
The camber is the inclination of the wheel level as viewed from the front (vertical).
Negative inclination Positive inclination
(Top wheel edge points inwards) (Top wheel edge points outwards)
 Thesettingofthewheelisexaggeratedinthetwoguresinordertomakethedifferencebetweennegative
and positive cambers more obvious. The setting on the model vehicle of course must not be as extreme as
shown!
 Alsoobservethatthemanufacturerhasalreadychosenthebestsettingforwheelcamber.Forthisreason,
changes to the wheel camber are only sensible for professional operators.

bends, the steering reacts more directly and steering forces are reduced. At the same time, the wheel is pushed onto
the axle spur in the direction of the axle. This stops axial bearing clearance, the driving behaviour is calmer.
