Adjustment Possibilities For The Model Car; Setting The Camber - Reely NEW2 Bedienungsanleitung

11. 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
(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 of course must 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 stub in the direction of the axle. This reduces axial bearing clearance, the driving behaviour is calmer.
• A negative inclination on 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 Axle Camber:
The "pivot ball" suspension at the front axis comprises of
a specially shaped axle stub, two ball-head screws (A and
B) and two outer plastic grub screws (C).
To set the wheel camber, the ball-head screws (A) and (B)
are twisted via a small 2.5 mm hexagon wrench (D) that is
pushed through the hole of the grub screw (C).
The plastic grub screws (C) can be tightened or loosened
with a larger 5 mm hexagon wrench (E). However, they
only serve to fasten the axle stub to the ball-head screws
(A) and (B).
Never tighten the grub screws (C) by force. Otherwise, the
wheel suspension cannot move freely. The grub screws
(C) also must not be turned in too loosely, or the axle stub
will wobble.
Positive inclination
(Top wheel edge points outwards)
