9. Adjustment Possibilities for the Vehicle

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 nega-
tive and positive cambers more obvious.
The setting on the model vehicle should of course not be as extreme as shown! This not only causes
uncontrollable driving behaviour, but also very fast wear of the inner or outer tyre edges!
• 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 leg in the direction of the axle. This stops 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:
First remove the front wheel (the figure shows the wheel
nut (C) and the wheel driver (D)). When putting on the
wheel driver again, make sure that the driving pin (E)
is exactly in the slot of the wheel driver (D)!
Twist the metal ball screw (B) on the inside to set the
camber.
Do not, however, twist the large outer plastic grub screw
(A). It holds the ball screw (B) in the axle spur.
The camber is set by twisting the two screws in oppo-
site directions (e.g. upper screw (B) one half turn clock-
wise, bottom screw (B) one half turn anti-clockwise).
If the screws are turned in the same direction, this will
alter the alignment and not the camber!
