Hello everyone,

This week, I would like to talk about the adjustment that you can do to your front axles on the 22 4.0 and 22 4.0 SR vehicles. Both cars come with adjustable front axles that allow you to make your car wider and narrower, but also along with this it changes the scrub radius (Measurement from the spindle pin to center of the wheel), which changes your overall steering of your car. Narrowing (having both .5mm shims on the inside) makes the car easier to drive off center and widening (having both .5mm shims on the outside) makes the car more aggressive off center and it is more stable at high speed. Having a shim on the inside and the outside is a good starting point for most tracks and TLR has given you the adjustment to make these small changes at the track either way.
