Default 1/10 CAR SETUP WTH !!

What is the Deal !!!


I was trying to increase stability going down the straight away.


I have read several 1/10 scale setup guides on the subject of Toe-In / Toe-out and what affect it has on the car. Depending on the setup guide, they all seem to contradict eachother on this subject.

Some touring car setup guides say toe-in makes the car more stable on the straights and easier to drive.... other guides say front toe-out makes the car stable on the straights and provides more sability...thus making the car easier to drive.


I drive an XRAY T3... and their setup guide says Toe In Increases understeer. decreases steering at corner entry, Increases “nervousness, makes car more difficult to drive....

and Toe Out Decreases understeer, Increases steering at corner entry, Increases straight-line stability and Makes car easier to drive.


Competition X and R/C Car Handling and Scarlet seem to say the exact opposite.


DOES ANYONE KNOW WHICH GUIDE IS CORRECT ???? Most folks I know run .5 degree Toe-out. Maybe im reading the setup guides wrong.

I posted the links for some of these guides below
