Talion Talion wheel alignment

[Aaron5]

I just got the V2 talion and noticed the wheels are all angled differently.

The driver front is neg camber and toe out.

Driver rear is toe in and about 0 camber

Pass front 0 camber and 0 toe

Pass rear is toe in and negative camber

I know its an RTR so some adjustments are necessary, this is my first RC, so any thoughts on what the correct tire alignment should be? It seems to drive fine and hauls a** at half throttle. Thank you.

I good place to start would be like 2°toe out and 1 or 2 ° negative camber up front and maybe 1 to 3° negitive camber in the rear

Have you powered it on yet? I would let it set itself by powering it on before making that determination. Mine looked the same way but seems fine after giving the servo a little juice. Supposedly, a little bit of toe out is normal.

Are there tools for setting alignment on RC cars?

I have the integy truggy/buggy setup station. Worth it's weight in gold if you race

I see how to adjust the toe, but I cant find how you adjust the camber. Do you shim the pillow balls?

When I first turned it on I honestly didnt look that closely, but the front left tire wasnt that off as it is now.

Yes shim the pillow balls

Yes shim the pillow balls

This is probably a dumb question, right now they each have one shim (factory) is it alright if one side has more than the other? Ex. Right has 2 on top 3 on bottom- left has 2 on top 1 on bottom, or do they need to have matching number of shims per pillow ball.

They make this that helps and it's affordable.
Then put shims as needed. There is no set amount for each side nor does it have to be the same on both side as long as the camber is right

Awesome. Thank you all for your help.


One last question. I have run 3 packs thru with light driving, half throttle and under, around the yard and street. Should my tires already be unglued?

Mine came unglued the first run. Some thin ca glue(or super glue) will fix that. Don't know what kind of glue they used at the factory but it doesn't hold well

I used some kind of automotive waterproof appoxy/super glue, so we will see how that turns out. If it doesn't hold ill try super glue or gorilla glue. Thanks again!!
