8. Setting the undercarriage

Once it has been constructed the undercarriage needs to be adjusted/set.
The explanations of the correlation between chassis set-up settings and driving behaviour are, however, very complex
and would go beyond the scope of these instructions. For this reason, we can only show the setting options provided.
For further information we have to refer you to appropriate specialist magazines as well as comprehensive reference
books on this subject.

a) Setting the camber

The camber is the inclination of the wheel level as viewed from the front (vertical).
Negative camber
(wheel upper edges point inwards)
The setting of the wheels in the two figures is shown in an exaggerated in order to show you the difference
between negative and positive camber. Such an extreme setting should not be made on the model vehicle!
A negative camber (wheel upper edges point inward) on the front wheels increases the cornering force of the wheel
when driving in bends, the steering reacts more directly, the steering force required is reduced. At the same time the
wheel is pushed onto the axle leg in the direction of the axle. This disables axial bearing clearance, the overall handling
is improved.
A negative camber on the rear wheels reduces the tendency of the rear of the vehicle to swerve/slide out on bends.
A positive camber, on the other hand, reduces the cornering forces on the tyres and should not be used.
Positive camber
(wheel upper edges point outwards)
