Setting The Alignment - Reely Dart 2.0 Notice D'emploi

b) Setting the Alignment
Wheel alignment (toe-in = figure „A", toe-out = figure „B") describes
the relation of the wheel level to the driving direction.
While driving, the tyres are pushed apart in the front because of the
rolling friction. This is why 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
accordingly by adjusting a toe-out, i.e. the wheels of the stationary
vehicle point outward.
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!
Setting front axle alignment:
For the front axle, alignment can be set by turning the
track rod (A). Because the track rod has a left and right
hand thread at either end, it does not need to be dis-
mantled to be adjusted.
Turn both track rods of the left and right front wheels even-
ly. Otherwise, you need to adjust the trim of the transmitter
or even correct the steering servo control (e.g. adjust ser-
vo rod or attach servo arm to the servo differently).
Setting rear axle alignment:
The track of the rear axle in this vehicle is set and cannot
be changed.
