Backlash of teeth:
The backlash of teeth should be set in the way that the Toe gear can only be turned about a maximum of 0,5 mm.
If the backlash is to small or to big, loosen the motor-screws and refi x it. Wrong backlash-adjustments lead into
overheating in electronics and damages in the drive-train.
Maintenance:
All moving parts must be inspected on a regular basis. Suspension-parts must move freely without bending or they
will affect the performance of the model and cause damages to it. Always ceep moving parts cleean and moving!
Setup-Tips:
Caster:
Caster describes the angle of the kingpin from vertical while looking from the side of the car. Positive caster means
the top of the kingpin leans rearward. Negative caster means the kingpin is leaning towards the front of the car.
Since caster is measured at the wheel, it is affected by running any inclination in your inboard arm mount. Kick-up
adds (+) caster, and anti-dive adds (-) caster.
Camber:
A good starting camber setting is –1 degrees (top of the tire leaning in). Positive camber, where the top of the tire is
leaning out, is typically not recommended. Trick: Set your car on a fl at surface, and set a soda can next to your tire
as a reference for vertical, or zero camber. Both sides should be equal in setting.
Front width:
A narrow front axle makes the steering more aggressive and a wide one makes the handling easier.
Ridehight:
The ridehight describes the distance from the chassis to the ground. The minimum rideheight of the PC10H3 is
4 mm.
Wheelbase:
Wheelbase describes the distance from the center of the front-wheels to the center of the rear wheels. It can be
varied up to 6 mm on the PC10H3.
Toe-Out:
Toe-Out stabilizes the car on the straight but reduces steering on the entrance of the corner.
