Camber is the angle of the tires in relation to the vertical plane. When a car is not set up properly, there will be too much positive or negative camber. Too much positive camber means that the top of the tire is leaning outward, away from the car. Too much negative camber means that the top of the tire is leaning inward, towards the car.
What Causes Uneven Camber?
There are several things that can cause uneven camber on your RC car. First, if you are using a stiff setup with hard springs and tight shocks, this can over-emphasize the effect of uneven terrain and cause your camber to be off.
Second, if your chassis is not level or has not been properly aligned, this can also cause uneven camber. Finally, if your suspension geometry is off due to incorrect parts or worn out components, this can also lead to an improper camber setting.
How Do I Fix My Camber?
The first step in fixing your camber is to make sure that your chassis is level and aligned correctly. If it’s not, you should use shims or spacers to adjust it until it’s level. You should also check for any worn out parts or incorrect components and replace them if necessary. Finally, you should experiment with different suspension settings until you find a setup that works best for you and produces the desired amount of camber in all conditions.
Conclusion:
Fixing an incorrect camber setting on an RC car requires attention to detail and patience. Start by making sure that your chassis is level and aligned correctly so that no further adjustments will be needed.
Then check for any worn out parts or incorrect components and replace them as necessary. Finally, experiment with different suspension settings until you find a setup that produces the desired amount of camber in all conditions. With some careful tuning and practice, you’ll be able to get your RC car back into shape in no time!
