Adjustment Possibilities For The Model Car; Setting The Camber - Reely Supersonic 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 upper transverse link (A).
Because the upper transverse link has a left and right
hand thread each, the transverse link does not need to be
dismantled for the camber to be adjusted.
There are several more suspension points (B) for the up-
per transverse link at the damper bridge. When the wheel
rebounds, the camber changes depending on the instal-
lation position (e.g. stronger camber when the wheel is
pushed in).
The manufacturer already selected the best setting for the
vehicle. Therefore, you should not change the attachment
point (B).
