ETTING THE CAMBER INCLINATION
The camber is the inclination of the wheel level as viewed from the front (vertical).
Negative camber (wheel top edges point inward) on the front wheels increases the cornering power
of the wheels when
driving in bends; the steering reacts more directly, the steering forces are reduced. At the same time,
the wheel is pushed onto the axle leg in the direction of the axis.
Negative camber
This stops an axial bearing clearance, the driving behavior is calmer.
A negative inclination on the rear wheels reduces the tendency of the rear of the vehicle to swerve in
bends.
�������������
By setting a negative inclination, the wear on the inside of the tires increases. However, this effect
can be compensated by setting a toe-in.
Positive camber
Adjusting the inclination in positive direction until a positive inclination (wheel top edges point out-
ward) reduces the cornering power of the wheels.
���������������
Adjusting the inclination at the front and rear wheels
The camber can be modified by adjusting the upper transverse
control arms respectively in two (front) and five attachment points
(rear transverse control arm) at the shock absorber brackets.
���������������
Furthermore, right/ left threaded rods with spanner flat (5mm) to
fine tune the inclination of the camber are located respectively in
the upper transverse control arms.
Fine tuning of inclination on front and rear wheels
-
Twist clamping screw in the upper transverse link
clockwise:
The upper edge of the wheel is pulled inward in direction
"negative inclination".
-
Twist clamping screw in the upper transverse link
anticlockwise:
The upper edge of the wheel is pulled outward in direction
"positive inclination".
Ensure a balanced tuning of the cornering power of front and rear axles as differences can result in an
over-steering or an under-steering driving behavior.

ETTING THE DAMPING
The four spring elements of the all-wheel suspension of the chassis consist each of a coil spring in whose center and oil
dampened suspension is located.
The four oil dampened suspensions are fastened to the lower transverse links and to the "damper plates" on the differential
housing.
The coil springs rest, at the top, against a spacer ring on the outer tube of the shock absorber and a plate at the lower end
of the piston rod.
With spacer rings of different thickness, the spring preload can be selected higher or lower. Combining several spacer
rings allows for the fine tuning of the spring preload according to surface and manner of driving.
The setting of the suspension influences not only the ability of the model to "even out" road unevenness, but also the beha-
vior in bends.
This driving behavior is called to "oversteer" or to "understeer".
