The toe angle is the angle of both front tyres (or rear tyres) to each other, when viewed from above. Toe-in is when the front of both
tyres point toward each other and toe-out is when the front of both tyres point away from each other.
l
For the front tyres, toe-in will make the
X
ST 4WD Truggy RTR track (run) straighter, but the steering will be more sensitive. Toe-out
will desensitise the steering, making the
X
ST 4WD Truggy RTR a little more driver-friendly.
l
For the rear tyres, if you're running on a smooth surface, we suggest no toe-in. If you are running on a rough surface, we suggest
about 1~2 degrees of toe-in. This will give the rear end a little more 'bite' (traction).
q
Remove the two 4x16mm F/H TP screws from the bottom of the chassis that hold the
suspension holder support in place, then remove the suspension holder support from
the chassis.
q
Remove the two 4x12mm TP screws that hold the suspension holder in place, then
carefully pull out the suspension holder, being careful not to pull out the hinge pins.
q
Install the desired suspension holder. Installation is the reverse of the disassembly
procedure.
q
To adjust the toe-angle of the front tyres, turn the tie-rods (steel rods connecting each wheel to the steering arm) in or out with the
adjustable wrench provided.
q
To adjust the toe-in on the rear tyres, use one of the different suspension holders provided to set the desired toe angle, as described in the
procedures below. For convenience, the degree of toe angle is moulded into the back of each suspension holder.

0 degrees toe-in on the front and 2 degrees on the rear for overall best 4WD driveability
on most surfaces.
2 degrees toe-in on the rear is stock.
+
Adding more than 3 degrees of toe-in or toe-out on the front will result in excessive
loss of speed and erratic handling. Toe adjustments should be measured with the
X
ST 4WD Truggy RTR at its normal ride height.

For more precise toe angle adjustments, use a dedicated toe angle
adjustment gauge, available at most hobby retailers.

Camber is referred to as the amount of the tyre's surface that contacts the ground. Tyres that are exactly perpendicular to the ground
have 0 degrees of camber. If the top of the tyre leans in toward the chassis, the tyre has negative camber. If the top of the tyre leans
out away from the chassis, the tyre has positive camber.

For driving on smooth surfaces set both the front and back tyres at 0 degrees.
l
For driving on rough surfaces set the front tyres at -1 degree and the back tyres at -2 degrees.
