Configuring The Wheel Alignment - Reely Stagger Bedienungsanleitung

e) Configuring the wheel alignment
The wheel alignment (toe-in = figure A, toe-out = figure B) describes
the alignment of the wheel plane relative to the direction of travel.
When the vehicle moves, the tyres are pushed apart due to rolling
resistance. As a result, they are not parallel to the direction of travel.
To compensate for this, the tyres of the stationary vehicle can be ad-
justed in a way so that they point slightly inwards. This toe-in improves
the lateral cornering of the tyre and therefore results in a more direct
response to steering commands.
To decrease the steering response, use toe-out (the wheels of the
stationary vehicle will point outwards).
A toe angle of more than 3° toe-in (A) or toe-out (B) may
cause steering difficulties and reduces the speed. It also
increases tyre wear.
The figure above shows a heavily over-emphasised setting. It is only used to show the difference between
toe-in and toe-out. If a similar setting is used for the vehicle, it will be very difficult to control!
Setting the front axle toe:
Turn the steering arm (A) to adjust the toe-in/toe-out for
the front axle. The steering arm has a left and right-hand-
ed thread, therefore you do not need to remove it when
making adjustments.
Turn both steering knuckle arms the same amount (left
and right front wheel). Otherwise, the trim on the trans-
mitter has to be adjusted (or possibly the steering servo
control by adjusting the servo rod).
There are several holes in the steering knuckle (B) to se-
cure the steering arm; these are designed to change the
steering lock angle for the front wheel (Ackermann angle).
Setting the rear axle toe:
The rear axle toe is preset and cannot be changed.
