Adjust the front camber with the upper pivot-ball. When tightening it in you
will increase the negative camber. By loosening it you will decrease the
negative camber. If you tighten the upper pivot ball one rotation, the lower
pivot-ball should be loosened by the same amount.
Initial setting:
Front camber: -1.0° (tops of front wheels leaning inwards)
NOTE: The amount of front camber required to maintain the maximum contact
patch largely depends on the amount of caster. Higher degrees of caster require
little or no camber, while lower degrees of caster require more negative camber.

Adjust the rear camber making the
upper link longer or shorter. Longer
upper link will make the camber less
negative. Shorter upper link will
make the camber more negative
(larger camber).
Initial setting:
Rear camber: -1.5° (tops of rear wheels leaning inwards)

We have thoroughly tested the
settings for the camber link position
on the bulkheads and the point on
the adjustable ball end is the optimal
one. On the rear uprights you have
four mounting locations.
Initial setting:
Position 3 (outer, bottom).
If you make adjustments:

= more traction and less stability.
SShhoorrtteerr lliinnkk
= less traction and greater stability.

NOTE: Always use the same link position on both sides of the car, for
example, the top outermost hole on the left upright, and the top outermost
hole on the right upright.
Chassis Set-up
CASTER ANGLE
Caster angle is the angle between an
imaginary line connecting the top
pivot ball and the bottom pivot ball
of the steering block, with respect to
a line perpendicular to the ground.
Caster angle affects on- and off-
power steering, as it will tilt the
chassis more or less depending on
how much caster is applied.
LLeessss ccaasstteerr (more vertical) increases
OFF-power steering INTO a corner, but decreases straight-line stability.
M
Moorree ccaasstteerr (more laid-down) increases ON-power steering OUT OF a corner,
and increases straight-line stability, but makes the car harder to turn in.
The caster angle is adjusted with
nylon spacers which are inserted
either in front of or behind the upper
front suspension arm. More spacers
in front of the arm will increase the
caster angle; less spacers will
decrease the caster angle.
Use the table below as guideline for setting the caster angle. Use clips 3, 2 and 1 mm.
The clips indicated are used before the arm and the rest behind the arm.
Initial setting:
Front caster: 2mm gap (2mm shim in front of the upper arm, 1+3 mm
shims behind)
DRIVING CAMBER
This describes the angle the wheels
ride relative to the ground when
looked at from the front or back.
N
Neeggaattiivvee ccaam
mbbeerr means that the tire
leans inward at the top.
PPoossiittiivvee ccaam
mbbeerr means that the tire
leans outward at the top.
Camber affects the car's traction. In general, more negative camber means
increased grip since the side-traction of the wheel increases. Never use
positive camber, and never use more than 2.5-degrees negative camber.
Hint: Use Hudy Set-up.Perform these initial steps:
A. Remove wheels.
B. Put the car on the Hudy Set-up.
C. Press down the suspension of the car a few times to let the suspension settle.
