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 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 leg 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 and Rear Axle Camber:
For setting the camber, turn the screw (A) of the upper
transverse link.
Because this screw has a left and right hand thread at either
end, the transverse link does not need to be dismantled for
the camber to be adjusted.
There are several different suspension points (B) for the upper
transverse link at the steering knuckle of the rear axle.
If the transverse link was attached in a different location, this
changes the camber when the wheel deflects and extends.
The manufacturer already selected the best setting for the
vehicle. Therefore, you should not change the attachment
point (B).
