Make sure the front wheels rest on
the front track-width graduation marks.
The amount of toe-in/toe-out has direct
infl uence on the track width so make sure
to measure at the part where the car is
widest.
➍
Make sure the rear wheels rest on the
rear track-width graduation marks.
FRONT TRACK-WIDTH
Look where the outer edge of each front wheels lie on the front track-width graduation
marks. Use a straight-edge against the wheel if necessary to see what the measurement
is.
The measurement represents the distance from the car’s centerline to the outer edge of
each wheel.
For example, on a 308mm wide buggy car, the measurement should be close to
154mm (½ the track-width) for each wheel.
REAR TRACK-WIDTH
Look where the outer edge of each rear wheels lie on the front track-width graduation
marks. Use a straight-edge against the wheel if necessary to see what the measurement
is.
The measurement represents the distance from the car’s centerline to the outer edge of
each wheel.
For example, on a 306mm wide buggy car, the measurement should be close to
153mm (½ the track-width) for each wheel.
ADJUSTING TRACK-WIDTH
Different cars may use different methods for track-width adjustment.
C-HUB SUSPENSION
Normally you cannot adjust the track-
width of a car with C-hub suspension due
to the design of the suspension system.
The suspension arms and other parts are
designed to give you the correct track-
width automatically. Optional off-set wheel
axles may be offered to adjust track-
width.
PIVOTBALL SUSPENSION
Cars with adjustable pivotball-style suspension can change track-width by adjusting the
pivotballs into or out of the suspension arms.
IMPORTANT!
Make equal adjustments on both left and right sides of the car.
