CHASSIS TUNING TIPS
GT14B Model Car has several adjustments available to match your driving need. Although there are multiple shock positions and camber link locations provided, we have built this
model with the best overall settings. The following are simple adjustments and easily maintained settings for proper operation and performance. It is advised when making any
adjustment you do so in small increments and always check for other parts of the chassis that are affected.
Camber refers to the angle to which the wheel’s flat face relative to the ground surface.
Negative Camber means the wheel is leaning towards the chassis. Positive Camber means the wheel
is leaning away from the chassis. The use of Camber angle can change the handling aspect of the car.
Maximise the tyre contact patch to the surface during cornering. By fine tuning the front and rear
camber angle, driver can tune the car’s handling characteristic to the track for maximum performance.
Camber can be adjusted by lengthening or shortening of the threaded turnbuckles or threaded rods.

Camber angle
Toe - In (Negative Toe) and Toe - Out (Positive Toe) refers to the angle if the wheels as viewed from the top of the Chassis.
Toe - In meaning the Wheels are pointing inwards. Toe - Out meaning the wheels are pointing outwards.
The use of Toe - angle is to change the turning characteristics during initial turn in, during the turn and exit the turn.
Front Wheels :
Toe - Out will help the car to response faster at turn in. However, during the turn and exit the turn, the front end of the car will be less responsive.
Toe - In will help the car to react slower at turn in but during the turn and exit the turn will react faster.
Can adjust the Toe angle by lengthening the steering links (Toe - In) or Shortening the steering links (Toe - Out)
Rear Wheels:
Toe - Out : NEVER have Toe - Out at the rear wheels. Will becoming undrivable.
Toe - In : will help to stabilized the rear wheels and make the rear end of the car more stable.
Changing the Rear Toe - angle is by changing the car suspension hinge pin brace.
