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 spur 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 axis leg, 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) (see
next page).
The plastic grub screws (C) can be tightened or loosened
with a slightly larger 5 mm hexagon wrench (E). However,
they only serve to fasten the axis stub to the ball-head
screws (A) and (B).
Never tighten the plastic grub screws (C) by force. Other-
wise, the wheel suspension cannot move freely. The plas-
tic grub screws (C) also must not be turned in too loosely,
or the axis stub will wobble.
