Notes

  • The camber link is the RC car's upper arm. Its length sets how fast camber changes with suspension travel, and its end positions set the roll centre (Tekno).
  • A shorter link gives more camber gain, more corner-entry steering and traction but less stability; a longer link gives less camber gain and more stability (Tekno). Lowering the inboard end or raising the outboard end increases chassis roll (CompetitionX).
  • The file is a reference example built by Xem Studio from the numbers above (Reference 1/10 touring car: wheelbase 260 mm (AARCMCC ISTC 250-270), track 190 mm (EFRA width without body), 50 mm = EFRA rim limit.). Sizes the sources do not fix are illustrative; scale the example to your own vehicle.

Questions

Why is it called a camber link?

Its turnbuckle sets static camber and its geometry sets camber gain.
