c) Setting the Alignment
Wheel alignment (toe-in = figure „A“, toe-out = figure „B“) de-
scribes the relation of the wheel level to the driving direction.
While driving, the tyres are pushed apart in the front because of
the rolling friction. This is why they are no longer precisely par-
allel to the driving direction.
To compensate, the tyres of the stationary vehicle can be adju-
sted so that they point slightly inwards. This toe-in improves la-
teral cornering of the tyres and leads to a more direct response
to steering.
If a milder response to steering is desired, this can be achieved
accordingly by adjusting a toe-out, i.e. the wheels of the statio-
nary vehicle point outward.
An alignment angle of more than 3° toe-in (A) or toe-out (B) will lead to handling problems and decreased
speed. It will also increase tyre wear.
The figure above shows a strongly over-emphasised setting. It is only used for showing the difference
between toe-in and toe-out. If such a setting is used for the vehicle, it will be very difficult to control!
Setting front axle alignment:
For the front axle, toe-in and toe-out can be set by turning the
adjustment screw (A). Because the adjustment screw has a left
and right hand thread at either end, it does not need to be dis-
mantled to be adjusted.
Turn both adjustment screws of the left and right front wheels
evenly. Otherwise, you need to adjust the trim of the transmitter
or even correct the steering servo control (e.g. adjust servo rod
or attach servo arm to the servo differently).
The attachment points of the track rod in the steering plate (B) should not be changed, since they influence
the Ackermann angle (the wheel on the inside of the curve deflects more than the outer one. The manufac -
turer has already made the best setting here.
Setting rear axle alignment:
The track of the rear axle in this vehicle is set and cannot be changed.
