chassis setup

[hotrod45]

question about the chassis setup on these 5th scale monsters. why do they have a toe in on the rear wheels? i am sure some of the racing crowd can answer this question. however, i am not racing, just bashing around. seems like it is not necessary to have a 2 or 3 degree toe in.

i just use my baja for bashing i run a 2 degree toe in wedge the wrong way round so it gives no toe in, it works for me.

Toe-in just stops the back end from dancing around.If you don't have toe-in it will squirm.

Its all to with cornering under power with weight distribution, more weight on the outside and the bigger the toe in the sharper it will corner/turn
