Setting The Alignment - Reely DT5 BL RtR Bedienungsanleitung

b) Setting the Alignment
Wheel alignment (toe-in = figure „A", toe-out = figure „B") describes the
relation of the wheel level to the driving direction.
While driving, the tyres are pushed apart in the front because of the
rolling friction. This is why they are no longer precisely parallel to the
driving direction. To compensate, the tyres of the stationary vehicle can
be adjusted so that they point slightly inwards. This toe-in improves
lateral cornering of the tyres and leads to a more direct response to
steering.
If a milder response to steering is desired, this can be achieved
accordingly by adjusting a toe-out, i.e. the wheels of the stationary
vehicle point outward. An alignment angle of 0° on the front axle ensures
the best driveability on almost any ground.
An alignment angle of more than 3° toe-in (a) or toe-out (b) will lead to handling problems and decreased
speed. It will also increase tyre wear.
The figure above shows a strongly over-emphasised setting. It is only used for showing the difference between
toe-in and toe-out. If such a setting is used for the vehicle, it will be very difficult to control!
For the front axle, alignment can be set by turning the steering knuckle arm (A). Because it has a left and right hand
thread at either end, it does not need to be dismantled to be adjusted.
Turn both track rod levers evenly (left and right front wheel). Otherwise, you need to adjust the trim of the
transmitter (or even change the steering servo control by adjusting the servo rod).
The axle leg has several attachment points (B) for the steering
knuckle arm, which are used for changing the turning angle
of the front wheel (Ackermann angle).
The manufacturer already selected the best setting.
Therefore, you should not change it.
The alignment of the rear axle wheels is firmly pre-set and
cannot be changed (this would have very little effect on driving
behaviour of the vehicle).
