Setting The Track; Advanced Tuning - Reely ROAD 1:8 GP Truggy Overheater 4WD Notice D'emploi

d) Setting the track
The track designates the position of the wheel level to the driving direction.
When driving, the tyres are pushed apart at the front because of the
rolling friction and are therefore no longer exactly parallel to the driving
direction. To compensate this, the tyres can be adjusted (when the vehicle
is not moving) so that they point slightly inwards. This toe-in improves
the cornering of the tyre and thus results in a more direct control of the
steering.
If a softer steering response is desired, the toe-out can be adjusted
accordingly, i.e. the wheels of the vehicle point outward (when it is not
moving).
For a rough adjustment of the track, the outer steering links can be
screwed to two additional attachment points on the steering plate. This
also changes the Ackermann steer angle. Straining screws for separate
alignment of the front wheels are located in the right and left steering link
between the steering lever and the steering plate.
The toe-in of the front wheels must not exceed 4°!
Toe-in (a):
Turning the straining screws forward lengthens the outer steering link; the wheel is pushed outwards via the
steering knuckle arm at the back. With this setting, the wheels wear off a lot faster on the inside.
Toe-out (b):
Turning the straining screws backward shortens the outer steering link; the wheel is pulled inwards via the steering
knuckle arm at the back. With this setting, the wheels wear out a lot faster on the outside.
e) Advanced tuning
Adjusting the differentials
The model's differentials are filled with grease. The viscosity of the grease blocks the differential, which is suitable for most terrains and conditions.
By exchanging the grease with high-viscosity silicone differential oil, the blocking effect can be modified. The higher the viscosity, the higher is the blocking
effect.
• If the model swerves in curves under load, you can loosen the rear differential or lock the front differential.
• If the model understeers under load, lock the rear differential or loosen the front differential.
You can select between silicone oil with a viscosity of 1000 (small blocking effect) to 50000 (high blocking effect).
Caution! Only experienced model pilots who know their models and have adequate technical skills for demounting and disassembling the differentials
should exchange the transmission grease.
Setting the toe-in of the rear wheels
To set the toe-in of the rear wheels, the toe-in block has to be exchanged.
Pull the E rings from the axles of the lower control arms. If you exchange
the toe-in block with another one with a greater hole spacing, the control
arms are no longer parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle but at an
angle.
The toe angle of the rear wheels changes accordingly.
