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 camber
(top wheel edges point inward)
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 should of course 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 balances out axial bearing clearance, the driving behaviour is calmer.
• A negative inclination of 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:
The camber is set by twisting 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).
