Setting The Alignment - Reely 23 72 14 Bedienungsanleitung

b) Setting the Alignment
Wheel alignment (toe-in = figure "a", toe-out = figure "b") describes the
relation of the wheel level to the driving direction.
When driving, the tyres are pushed apart at the front because of the
rolling friction and are therefore no longer exactly parallel to the driving
direction. To balance this, the tyres of the stationary vehicle can be
adjusted so that they point slightly inwards. This toe-in improves the
lateral cornering of the tyres and thus a more direct response to the
steering.
If a softer steering response is desired, the toe-out can be adjusted
accordingly, i.e. the wheels of the vehicle point outward (when it is not
moving). An alignment angle of 0° on the front axle ensures the best
driveability on almost any ground.
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.
The figure above shows a strongly over-emphasised setting that is only used for showing the difference
between toe-in and toe-out. If such a setting is used for the vehicle, it will be very difficult to control!
Set alignment for the front wheels:
For the front axle, alignment can be set by turn-
ing the adjustment screw (A).
Because the adjustment screw has a left and
right hand thread at either end, it does not need
to be dismantled to be adjusted
The so-called Ackermann angle can be set
using the mounting points (B) at the steering
plate (the wheel on the inside of a bend must
be turned furhter than the one on the outside
of a bend). This setting was already made in
the factory and should not be changed.
Turn both adjustment screws evenly (left and right front wheel). Otherwise, you need to adjust the trim of
the transmitter or even correct the steering servo control (e.g. adjust servo rod or attach servo arm to the
servo differently).
