Title: What tie rod do ya'll run?
Post by: Russ on March 07, 2008, 11:17:06 AM
I have a +2 deg. alumunum Atomic one. Ruf said it was toe in and the Atomic site confirms that. I was reading in the F1 forum on MZR (http://mini-zracer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10505) that toe in decreases turning (understeer). And toe out increases turning (oversteer). I thought it was the exact opposite. Or is that just for F1? Or do I not get over and under steer?

toe in should increase the steering.  not decrease it.   the  outside will with toe in would have a high angle and hence more turn. 

Maybe I'm wront as well....

I'm running a +1 bar. (-1 toe in)  The reason that the + steering bars are toe in is because the are longer and sit behind the pivot point.
