Full-floating axle transverse to the direction of motion, connects the wheel suspension (spindle, axle leg and steering knuckle pin) with the chassis:

Stabiliser bar

U-shaped curved spring steel wire which is connected at both ends with a lower control arm each via ball-shaped heads. In the centre, the wire bracket is

fastened rotatable on the differential housing. The deflection of a wheel results in the deflection of the other wheel via the bracket. This reduces the roll angle

of the vehicle in curves. The stabiliser bar supports the effect of the oil-pressure shock absorbers especially when the wheel rebounds. The restoring force of

the wire bracket supports the rebounce of the shock absorber (against the friction in the piston). This ensures steady road contact of the wheel.

RC model

"Radio controlled" or more precisely: "Remote controlled" model vehicle.

Resonance exhaust silencer

The resonance exhaust silencer provides sound insulation and supports optimal performance of the engine.

Rotor starter

Electrically operated starter device for model combustion engines. The shaft of the rotor starter engages an adapter at the crankcase to turn the crankshaft via

an actuator until the engine starts.

Slide carburettor

Air supply to the engine is regulated by moving the carburettor slide. At the same time, the tapered needle of a needle valve (idle jet needle) is moved, which

changes the amount of fuel flowing through the carburettor.

Servo

Servo motor, the shaft of which moves in a limited angle in both directions and mechanically carries out a control function via a lever.

Servo lever (servo arm)

Lever, disc or cross with 4 control levers which transmit the rotational movement of the servo motor via linkage levers.

Servo reverse

You can reverse the rotational direction of the servo on the remote control.

Servo saver

Cushioned additional link between steering servo and steering link. Sudden, hard blows to the steered wheels are cushioned via this link and are not directed

straight into the servo.

Steering link

The steering link generally consists of three flexible interconnected levers. The outer steering links can be adjusted in length and connect the steering knuckle

arm at the axle leg pivotal with the middle steering link section which is tilted right/left by the steering servo lever.

Track

Position of the wheel level to the driving direction:

a = toe-in, wheels point inwards

b = toe-out, wheels point outwards

Steering knuckle arm

Lever on the axle leg (steering lever). Moving the steering link via this lever towards the right or left causes the wheels to turn.

Bumper

The bumper (fender) made of impact-resistant plastic is elevated and is additionally supported by the front control arm mount.

Camber

Inclination of the wheels to the perpendicular:

a = positive camber

b = negative camber

Fuel tank

The fuel tank with quick release fastener has an integrated fuel filter. The tank is connected to the resonance exhaust silencer via a tube at the connector

nipple in the cap. During operation, the exhaust fumes generate overpressure in the tank. This overpressure enhances fuel supply to the carburettor.

Trim lever

To fine-tune the neutral position of the servo. The trimming is superimposed on the deflections of the remote control lever. Thus, neutral position of the servo

can be moved to one direction or the other.

Toe-in block

Rear support of the bottom control arm axles. Depending on the hole spacing, the control arm axles are arranged at an angle (toe-in) or parallel to the centre

line of the vehicle.
