The toe angle is the angle of both front tires (or rear tires) to
each other, when viewed from above. Toe-in is when the front of
both tires point toward each other and toe-out is when the front
of both tires point away from each other.
For the front tires,
toe-in will make your Buggy track
straighter, but the steering will be more sensitive. Toe-out will
desensitize the steering, making the Buggy a little more driver-
friendly.
For the rear tires,
if you‘re running on a smooth
surface, we suggest no toe-in. lf you are running on a rough
surface, we suggest about 1 - 2 degrees of toe-in. This will give
the rear end a little more „bite.“
Adding more than 3 degrees of toe-in or toe-out will result in
excessive loss of speed and erratic handling.
To adjust the toe-angle of the front tires, turn the tie-rods (steel
rods connecting each wheel to the steering arm) in or out with
an adjustable wrench. To adjust the toe angle of the rear tires,
you need to replace the toe angle block, described below:
To adjust the toe-in on the rear tires, use one of the different
composite toe angle blocks provided in your kit to set the
• To change the rear toe angle block, first remove the two
screws from the bottom of the chassis that hold the toe
angle block screw guard in place, remove the screw guard
from the chassis.
• Next, remove the two screws that hold the toe angle block
in place, then carefully pull out the toe angle block, being
careful not to pull out the hinge pins.
• Install the desired toe angle block. Installation is the reverse
of the disassembly procedure.

desired toe angle. For convenience, the degree of toe angle in
each block is molded into the back of the blocks. The stock
toe-angle block is 2°.
