Front width

[mattcaney]

Hi I have just built my KF2 but the front end is wider than the rear, Is this OK, just look a bit strange. But then again I am used to 4wd and this is the first 2WD car I have built.

Also what is best way to sort out the tracking and camber angles ?

Thanks

Matt

It's normal. It's probably more noticeable to the eye because of the amount of toe-in on the rear relative to the front.

The manual should have the kit lengths for all turnbuckles, so just work roughly off those - if you centre the servo beforehand you can get the steering rack lined up, and then it's as easy as holding the car up to a wall to get the front toe at zero. A cheap camber gauge and a setup board of some sort should serve you well.

Most buggys seem to be like that, it annoys me as well.

As far as setting the camber and tracking, I just eyeball it on one side, the adjust the other side to match using a ruler
