Vehicle Settings

a) Setting the Alignment
Wheel alignment (toe-in = figure "a", toe-out = figure "b") describes the
relation of the wheel level to the driving direction.
The tyres are pushed apart in the front by rolling friction when driving.
Therefore, 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 accord-
ingly 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!
Set alignment for the front wheels:
To adjust the toe-in/toe-out at the front axis, the steer-
ing lever must be detached. Do not use any force for
this!
Then the two plastic eyelets can be twisted against
each other.
Always twist both adjustment screws equally (left and right front wheel); otherwise, you will misadjust the
trim at the transmitter.
The alignment of the rear wheels is permanently pre-set and cannot be changed.
