Setting The Camber - Reely Generation X Notice D'emploi

b) 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 spur 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 threaded rod (A) of
the upper transverse link.
For this, turn out screw (B) from the front. Then the
cross-linkage can be adjusted.
There are several different suspension points for the
upper transverse link at the damper bridge; see circle
(C) in the figure on the right.
If the transverse link was attached in a different loca-
tion, this would change the camber when the wheel
deflects and extends.
The manufacturer has already selected the best set-
ting for the vehicle. Therefore, no changes should be
made by you.
