c) Adjusting the Steering Geometry
Servo defects are caused by stiff linkage or mechanical parts (e.g. by contamination or rust) as well as by asymmetrical
and therefore non-linear geometric steering settings. Therefore, you need to check the following items in your model
during driving and perform any required corrections.
These measures warrant stronger control operation that is faster under load and in particular even to the left and right.
When making settings, always observe that the servo does not run to block.
The right-angle steering levers A and A‘ must be
precisely parallel and therefore aligned at 90° to line
B. Line B is precisely at 180° (vertical) to the driving
direction.
If the front wheels are not set precisely to neutral
(straight) after correction of the steering lever position,
use track rods C and C‘ to set the neutral position of
the wheels (track).
Also observe the notes in chapter 9. b).
The servo output lever of steering servo D must be
aligned at precisely 90° of the servo housing when
the transmitter is set to the neutral position (trimming
also to 0).
If necessary, disassemble the servo lever and attach it
again offset. Light deviations can be set by trimming
the transmitter.
When the steering levers and servo output levers are set precisely as described above, the track rod E may have to be
shortened for the wheels to be set to straight driving again.
