That is the best 'toe' how to video on CZcams. I have spent an hour looking at diff vids to find a simple way of measuring toe without spending extra money on a proper gauge. Fantasic tip. Thank you very much for spending the time to share that with us.
Excellent point!! Overall the most important thing is how the car feels! I am new to racing. And at very first, I didn't even know what I wanted my buggy to act like on the track. But, I do now and your videos help me out even though I run 10th scale. Thank you Adam!!
Great video Nitro Bro Adam👍🏼! Thank you for the good pointers like using a flat table with a wall or back splash to it to make things easier when adjusting the Toe.
Hey Adam, maybe some day you could share how to adjust rear toe. Also I have noticed that sometimes when setting toe it seems to effect the camber as well and when you try to re adjust your camber the toe is then effected again. Ever had that problem?
Hello Jacob, adjusting toe and camber do go hand in hand. When increasing the amount of rear toe-in, it will also slightly increase the amount of camber if you don't adjust the length of the turnbuckle. I'll add this to my video list.
Adam do u have any tutorials explaining bump steer a little more, I am fairly new to driving and setting up 'pro kits' and bump steer isn't something I fully understand yet. Thank you
I don't think I have anything talking about bump steer, but I'll add it to my video list. In general, bump-in will have more mid corner steering. Bump out will have smoother steering and be better in bumps.
Thanks very much Adam. Do kit setups generally come with neutral bump steer? I have just built my 1st pro chassis and i am trying to learn as much as I can, so sorry for so many questions and thanks for taking the time out to help. Much appreciated
So when a setup sheet says for example 1° of toe and I measure my toe using a camber gauge (like you showed in the video), should I read 0,5° of toe on each tire (so it adds up to 1° in total) or should I set the toe, that it reads 1° of toe on one tire ?
Hello Adam so why do I measure 📏 the distance from the sides of where the spanner 🔧 goes to adjust so u said the space between the turnbuckle plastic but I’m going from the outer edges of the centre hex part if that makes sense so it seems just the space is ok please help me out or some1 reading and following me here🙃🙂
Hey Adam, I'm still confused how you adjust the camber on PBS on the front and how to adjust toe on the rear (only one turn buckle for camber). I'm absolutely new to the hobby!
The camber on the front is adjusted by the upper front arm length. The rear toe is adjusted using the different inserts (E2108) the go into the rear toe block (E2114).
I got free tires from you Adam ones at rcx in Pomona CA at the fairplex you had ran them at the big indoor demo track they set up it was sweet ass day I took them home and mounted them on my buggy and ran them to the ground at revelations rc raceway
Wow what a great “hack” for not spending hundreds of dollars on a setup station! I guess also something that can be done is once you set one side rather than using the gauges is to actually just make sure the buckles match on the other. I know for me sometimes it’s hard to set camber cause tires never seem to be super even all around so depending on what position your tire is in the reading might be diff but if the buckles are all the same length both sides should be the same
thanks Adam !..for not being such a high nose Pro-racer like others..(no names)..
you help and give tips to people like me..newbies..keep it up !
My pleasure. Thank you for the kind words!
Best rc car video for setup and racing on CZcams!
Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed the video! :)
Hey Adam how much rear toe do you usually run. Also, how often would you say you clean/maintenance your bearings?

My pleasure. Happy to help!

My pleasure!
Awesome tip just what I needed thank you. Good luck at world's.
Thank you!
Just got into nitro on a semi budget and this helps so much, top bloke mate.
My pleasure!

It depends on the vehicle. The Mugen vehicle have a very unique bump steer, but it works well.
hey Adam have you tried drilling small hole in wore out set wheels so u won't have keep taking wheels off to set camber.
That works well, but I usually just take off the tire.
So when a setup sheet says for example 1° of toe and I measure my toe using a camber gauge (like you showed in the video), should I read 0,5° of toe on each tire (so it adds up to 1° in total) or should I set the toe, that it reads 1° of toe on one tire ?
When I put 1 degree on a set-up sheet, I'm referring to 1 degree per side.
Ok, thanks !
Anytime!
Hi Adam, can you do video on upper front suspension arm position?
Yes sir. I have it on my list.
hi Adam, can you explain what toe in abd toe will do for handling?
thank you
Hello,
I'll work on a video that explains front toe. Thank you!
An old, but great video. I like the backsplash tip.
Broken steering plate? (;
Thanks.
nice
:)
Hello Adam so why do I measure 📏 the distance from the sides of where the spanner 🔧 goes to adjust so u said the space between the turnbuckle plastic but I’m going from the outer edges of the centre hex part if that makes sense so it seems just the space is ok please help me out or some1 reading and following me here🙃🙂
I measure the exposed turnbuckle because it's very easy to get that measurement and also consistent.
Adam Drake damn str8 Adam, thank you loads
Hello Adam, I see that your left upper pillow ball is unscrewed abit..
?Is that ok to run it like that
Yes, it's fine to run it unscrewed slightly, but the washers make it easy to adjust the camber.
Thank you!
Asking because I dont get the same camber on both sides with the same washers..
Did you experience this?
It's usually pretty consistent from side to side, but sometimes they need slight adjustments.
Hey Adam, I'm still confused how you adjust the camber on PBS on the front and how to adjust toe on the rear (only one turn buckle for camber). I'm absolutely new to the hobby!
