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).

(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 should of course 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 spur in the direction of the axle. This balances out 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:
For setting the camber, turn the screws (1) and (2) of the upper
and lower transverse link opposite to each other.
If the upper screw is turned half a turn clockwise to the right, turn
the lower screw counter-clockwise half a turn to the left.
Do not turn the screws in the same direction (and do not
turn only one of the screws), since this would change
the track setting.
Also observe that the screws are not turned out too far,
since the axle stub may come loose from the transver-
se link otherwise.
