Rear Toe-In... (Traxxas Rustler)

[KevinGalusha]

Ok, I have this slight problem. I have had this problem for a while but it irritates the crap out of me. My Rear wheels are all Toe In. I cannot find what is bent or anything. I just put new RPM A arms, and Still toe. Everything is nice and tight, and I cannot figure this out! Any takers?

They are supposed to be toed-in 2-3mm.
Show us a pic?

 

[KevinGalusha]

Will Do, I have to upload one tomorrow for sure!

Ok, I found out it's pretty normal hah

The reason for slight toe-in on the rear (and neutral or slight toe-out on the front) is to help handling going into and coming out of corners to correct for over/understeer. It also assists in keeping a straight line through bumpy terrain.

The amount of toe is dependent on your vehicle design and preference but should never be more than 1-2mm either direction as you'll cause more wear on tires and the rolling resistance will affect performance and neutral roll.

What RC is it? A Traxxas what?

Set the throttle trim on your transmitter to zero to fix it moving on its own.

If you started your own post in the electric RC forum and post what the RC is and post the picture you'll get more responses.

I'm pretty sure every radio has a throttle and a steering trim knob or setting.

As for the tow in someone else will have to tackle that cuz afaik the toe in isnt adjustable. Makes me wonder is something was put back together right

Apparently every radio except this one...

I don't think "Top Qualifier" is quite appropriate for a name for this one.

 

[Greywolf74]

Wow, I have never ever seen that before. The ESC must need recalibrated.

 

[WickedFog]

That's the only thing I can think of too.
