Reely NEW1 - Configuring the tyre track

43
Adjustthefrontaxlebyturningtheupper/lowerpivotball
screws(1).Todothis,usea2.5mmHexkey(2).Make
sure that at least two-thirds of the threads of the pivot ball
screws remain in the suspension arm.
Be sure to also check the play in the pivot ball screws
whilst adjusting. If necessary, adjust the plastic inserts (3)
witha5mmHexkeyifthepivotballscrewsaretoostiffor
ifthereisexcessiveplayinthebearing.
The pivot ball screws can be accessed through
the wheel rim using a long Hex key. In this
case,youcancheckthemodiedconguration
very quickly.
b) Conguring the tyre track
Whenconguringthetyretrack,thepositionofthewheel
plane is adjusted to the direction of travel.
In this case, two distinctions are made:
A toe-in means that the front wheels are facing slightly
inwards (see Figure 5A).
A toe-out means that the front wheels are facing slightly
outwards (see Figure 5B).
Theconguration ofthefrontwheelsinthetwo illustra-
tionsshownaboveisexaggeratedtoclearlyshowthedif-
ferencebetweenatoe-inandatoe-out.Extremesettings
mustbeavoidedwhenconguringthemodelvehicle!
A toe-in contributes to a better lateral guidance of the tyre
and therefore to a more direct steering response. It also
effectively supports directional stability.
Ifdesired,asmoothersteeringresponsecanbeachievedbyconguringatoe-outaccordingly.
Atoeangleof0°onthefrontaxleensuresthebestdriveabilityonalmostanysurface.Atoe-inortoe-outangleofmore
than 3° leads to problems in handling and reduced speed.
Before you adjust the tie rods. Check the position of the steering or the steering linkage (see Figure 31 in the assembly
instructions). When the servo lever is at 90° to the servo, both wheels should be aligned identically. If the wheels have
aslightleftorrightsteeringdeection,rstadjustthesteeringlinkage.Ifnecessary,mountthesteeringlinkageonthe
servo and adjust to the required length.
