i) Stopping the Vehicle
To stop driving, proceed as follows:
• Let go of the throttle/brake lever on the transmitter so that it goes into neutral position, and let the vehicle run out.
• When the vehicle has stopped, take off the body and turn off the speed controller (switch position „OFF“). Never
touch the wheels or the drive mechanism, and make sure you do not move the throttle/brake lever at the transmit-
ter!
Attention!
The motor, the speed controller and the drive battery get hot during operation! Do not touch these parts
immediately after operation. Danger of burns!
• Disconnect the drive battery from the speed controller. Disconnect the plug-in connection completely.
• Now you may turn off the transmitter.
10. 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 inclination
Positive inclination
(Top wheel edge points inwards)
(Top wheel edge points outwards)
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 of course must not be as extreme as
shown!
Also observe that the manufacturer has already chosen the best setting for wheel camber. For this reason,
changes to the wheel camber are only sensible for professional operators.
• 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 leg in the direction of the axle. This stops axial bearing clearance, the driving behaviour is calmer.
• A negative inclination on 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.
