The toe angle is the angle of both front tyres (or rear tyres) to each other, when viewed from above. Toe-in is when the front of both tyres
point toward each other and toe-out is when the front of both tyres point away from each other.
●
For the front tyres, toe-in will make your X-Terminator 2 RTR 4WD Nitro Buggy track (run) straighter, but the steering will be more
sensitive. Toe-out will desensitise the steering, making the Nitro Buggy a little more driver-friendly.
●
For the rear tyres, if you're running on a smooth surface, we suggest no toe-in. If you are running on a rough surface, we suggest about
~ 2 degrees of toe-in. This will give the rear end a little more "bite."
rECoMMEnDED iniTiaL SETTingS:
●
0 degrees toe-in on the front and 2º on the rear for overall best 4WD driveability
on most surfaces.
✩
Adding more than 3 degrees of toe-in or toe-out on the front will result in excessive
loss of speed and erratic handling. Toe adjustments should be measured with the vehicle
at its normal ride height.

For more precise toe adjustments, use a dedicated toe-adjustment gauge,
available at most hobby retailers.
●
To change the rear toe angle block, first remove the two screws from the bottom of
the chassis that hold the toe angle block screw guard in place, then remove the screw
guard from the chassis.
●
Next, remove the two screws that hold the toe angle block in place, then carefully pull out
the toe angle block, being careful not to pull out the hinge pins.
●
Install the desired toe angle block. Installation is the reverse of the disassembly
procedure.
To adjust the toe-angle of the front tyres, turn the tie-rods (steel rods connecting each wheel to the steering arm) in or out with the adjustable
wrench supplied. To adjust the toe angle of the rear tyres, you need to replace the toe angle block, described below:
To adjust the toe-in on the rear tyres, use one of the different composite toe angle blocks provided in your kit to set the desired toe angle.
For convenience, the degree of toe angle in each block is moulded into the back of the blocks.
The stock toe-angle block is 2º.
Camber is referred to as the amount of the tyre's surface that contacts the ground. Tyres that are exactly perpendicular to the ground
have 0 degrees of camber. If the top of the tyre leans in toward the chassis, the tyre has negative camber. If the top of the tyre leans
out away from the chassis, the tyre has positive camber.
rECoMMEnDED iniTiaL CaMbEr SETTingS:
●
For driving on smooth surfaces set both the front and back wheels at 0 degrees.
●
For driving on rough surfaces set the front wheels at - degree and the back wheels at -2 degrees.

Adjust the camber angle of the wheels by turning the upper turnbuckles in or out using an adjustable wrench.
✩
Camber settings should be measured
with the vehicle at its normal ride height.
