Inboard Camber Location

: The 1/10 Slider has three different 

inner locations with vertical adjustment for the front camber 
tie rod. In general, the lower or further out the inside position 
is, relative to the outside, the more camber gain (total camber 
change through the total throw of the suspension) is present. 
This is an adjustment that is difficult to make a generic 
statement for as it can have slightly different results on various 
conditions. The following is a summary of how this adjustment 
will usually impact the handling of the 1/10 Slider. A longer 
front camber link will usually make the 1/10 Slider feel stiffer. 
This will help keep the 1/10 Slider flatter with less roll, but can 
make the 1/10 Slider handle worse in bumpy conditions, it also 
will make the 1/10 Slider easier to drive. A shorter front camber 
link will result in more front end roll, which will provide more 
steering on tighter turns with the loss of some stability. You 
will also lose some high-speed steering but might gain some 
more steering response. Too short of a front link may make the 
1/10 Slider feel “twitchy” or “wandery” meaning that it may be 
difficult to drive straight at high speed.

Inboard Camber Vertical Adjustment

: Washers are often 

used under the inner ball stud mounting location; this is one 
of the most important adjustments on the 1/10 Slider. You 
should get a feel for how the number of washers affects the 
handling. Adding washers will make the 1/10 Slider more 
stable and keep the front end flatter. This works well on higher 
traction surfaces. Removing washers will make the steering 
more aggressive, which works well on lower traction surfaces. 
This can be good in some conditions, but can also make 
the 1/10 Slider difficult to drive in others. The washers that 
are used are included in an assortment package of washers 
(LOSA6350).

Outboard Camber Location

: In addition to the inboard 

camber location, the 1/10 Slider also provides two outboard 
mounting options. The outer location helps the 1/10 Slider stay 
tighter in turns with a more precise steering feel. Moving the 
link to the inner hole will make the steering react slightly slower 
and steer smoother. The advantage to the inner hole is that it 
can increase on-power steering and help the 1/10 Slider get 
through bumps better.

Toe-In/Out

: This is the parallel relationship of the front tires to 

one another. Toe-in/out adjustments are made by changing the 
overall length of the steering tie rods. Toe-in (the front of the 
tires point inward, to a point in front of the front axle) will make 
the 1/10 Slider react a little slower, but have more steering from 
the middle of the turn, out. The opposite is true with toe-out 
(the front of the tires point outward, coming to a point behind 
the front axle), the 1/10 Slider will turn into the corner better 
but with a decrease in steering from the middle of the turn, out. 
Toe-in will help the 1/10 Slider to track better on long, straight, 
high-speed runs, where toe-out has a tendency to make the 
1/10 Slider wander. We recommend to run between 0-degree of 
toe-in/out to 1 degree of toe-in.

Bump-In/Out

: Bump-out (front of the front tires toe-outward 

under suspension compression) will result in more off-power 
steering and less consistent handling if you have too much 
bump-out. This effect is obtained by adding washers under 
the steering spindle ball stud. Bump-in (front of the front tires 
toe-inward under suspension compression) will result in less 
off-power steering. Too much bump-in can make the steering 
feel very inconsistent. This effect is obtained by installing a ball 
stud washer on the bottom of the spindle. Testing has shown 
that running a little bit of bump-in (kit setup) in the 1/10 Slider 
offers the best overall setup.

Caster

: This is the angle of the kingpin from vertical when 

viewed from the side of the 1/10 Slider. The 1/10 Slider comes 
equipped with a 30-degree kick-up angle. Total caster is 
determined by adding the amount of kick-up (1/10 Slider has 
30 degrees) and the kingpin angle of the front spindle carriers. 
Increasing total caster will provide more steering entering 
a turn but less on exit. Decreasing total caster will cause the 
steering to react faster and increase on-power steering.
