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 camber Positive camber

(top wheel edges point inward) (top wheel edges point outward)

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 balances out axial bearing clearance, the driving behaviour is calmer.

Setting Front Axle Camber:

The camber is set by twisting the upper transverse link (A).

Because the upper transverse link has a left and right

hand thread each, the transverse link does not need to be

dismantled for the camber to be adjusted.

There are several more suspension points (B) for the up-

per transverse link at the damper bridge. When the wheel

rebounds, the camber changes depending on the instal-

lation position (e.g. stronger camber when the wheel is

pushed in).

The manufacturer already selected the best setting for the

vehicle. Therefore, you should not change the attachment

point (B).
