Setting The Alignment - Reely ROAD Detonator Notice D'emploi

b) Setting the Alignment
Wheel alignment (toe-in = figure "a", toe-out = figure "b") describes 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 parallel to the
driving direction. To balance this, the tyres of the stationary vehicle can
be adjusted so that they point slightly inwards. This toe-in improves the
lateral cornering of the tyres and thus a more direct response to the
steering.
If a milder response to steering is desired, this can be achieved accord-
ingly by adjusting a toe-out, i.e. the wheels of the stationary vehicle
point outward. An alignment angle of 0° on the front axle ensures the
best driveability on almost any ground.
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 that 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!
Set alignment for the front wheels:
For the front axle, alignment can be set by turning the steering knuckle arm (A). Because it has a left and right hand
thread at either end, it does not need to be dismantled to be adjusted.
Turn both steering knuckle arms evenly (left and right front wheel). Otherwise, you need to adjust the trim
of the transmitter (or even change the steering servo control by adjusting the servo rod (C).
The axle leg has several attachment points (B)
for the steering knuckle arm, which are used for
changing the turning angle of the front wheel
(Ackermann angle).
The manufacturer already selected the best set-
ting. Therefore, you should not change it.
The alignment of the rear wheels is permanently pre-set by the manufacturer and cannot be changed. The alignment
of the rear axle of your model vehicle has little effect on the Monstertruck's driving behaviour.
