Adjustment Possibilities For The Model Car; Setting The Camber - Reely Bulldog Notice D'emploi

11. 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 of course must 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 stub in the direction of the axle. This reduces 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 Axle Camber:
For setting the camber, turn the screw (A) of the upper
transverse link.
A suitable open-faced spanner can be used for turning
(not enclosed).
Because this screw has a left and right hand thread at
either end, the transverse link does not need to be dis-
mantled for the camber to be adjusted.
Setting Rear Axle Camber:
The vehicle has a stiff axle at the rear. The camber is not adjustable.
Positive inclination
(Top wheel edge points outwards)
