Adjusting The Shock Absorbers - Conrad REELY NEW1 Notice D'emploi

The toe-in/out on the front axle can be adjusted by turn-
ing the tie rods (1). Because the tie rods have left and
right-hand threads, there is no need to remove them for
adjustment. Always turn both tie rods (left and right front
wheels) evenly; otherwise, the previously adjusted steer-
ing configuration will no longer fit.
The steering knuckle has another attachment point for the
tie rod. It serves to adjust the turning angle of the front
wheel (Ackermann angle) since the inside wheel requires
a larger steering angle.
The rear axle toe is preset and cannot be changed.
c) Adjusting the shock absorbers
There are different mounting points for the shock absorb-
ers at the top of the shock absorber bridges (1) and on the
lower suspension arms (2). The ground clearance and the
damping behaviour can thus be adjusted depending on
the installation.
The final settings always depend on the preferable route
of the model. If necessary, you can try different settings
and thus gain hands-on experience of the driving behav-
iour of the model.
Experienced model vehicle operators can also use this
opportunity to customise the shock absorbers. For this
purpose, hard damping springs and shock absorber oils
with different viscosity are commercially available.
