The Ackerman function allows you to change the Steering angle of the Front tires independently to prevent the tires from slipping
during turns. Being able to change the Ackerman Angle can help improve your Model's high-speed cornering and improve tire
wear. In general, your Model will corner better if the inner tire turns in at a sharper angle than the outer tire. The Ackerman function
allows you reduce the turn-in angle of the outer tire, which increases the turn-in angle of the inner tire relative to it.
Ackerman Programming Values can be changed while you're driving by Assigning these functions to a Trim Switch, the
Auxiliary Dial or the Auxiliary Lever. For more information, see the
ASSIGN Menu
section on pages 33 ~ 38.
The Ackerman function is available only when either Car Type V, VI or VII is Selected.
Changing the Ackerman Angle Percentage Values:
1) From within the RACING menu, scroll UP or DOWN to highlight the ACKER
menu.
2) Press the ENTER key to open the ACKER menu. LEFT-ST L > 100% will be
highlighted.
3) Scroll UP or DOWN to highlight the Ackerman Angle percentage value you
would like change. Choose from either LEFT-ST (Left Steering) Left or Right, or
RIGHT-ST (Right Steering) Left or Right.
4) Press the ENTER key, then scroll UP or DOWN to choose the desired
Ackerman Angle percentage value. Reducing the Ackerman Angle percentage
value will reduce the amount of control throw in that the direction for that
specific servo.
5) Press the ENTER key, then repeat steps 3 and 4 to change any other desired
Ackerman Angle percentage values.
In general, you want the inner tire to turn in more than the outer tire when turning both Right and Left (unless you're running
on an oval track). In order to achieve this, you will need to reduce the control throw of the outer tire in both the Right and
Left directions by reducing those Ackerman Angle percentage values. The percentage values you will need to change will vary
depending on several factors, so you'll need to experiment to find the ones you need to reduce to achieve the desired results.
LEFT-ST L and R and RIGHT-ST L and R setting range is 0% to 100%. The default setting for both channels is 100%.
The Racing Mode Delay function allows you to program a Delay for each of the four channels to help prevent drastic changes in
channel function settings when switching between Racing Modes. For example, you might have one Dual Rate setting for Racing
Mode 1 and a different Dual Rate setting for Racing Mode 2. The Racing Mode Delay function allows you to program a Delay in
the Steering channel so that the transition to the different Dual Rates when you switch back and forth between Racing Modes
is smooth and less noticeable.
