RC Suspension Tuning Guide – Active Toe

What is Active Toe?
Toe describes the angle of the rear tires, either Toe In or Toe Out, and is a fixed adjustment on all cars.

Some cars have what is called Active Toe, a setup that allows the toe angle to change during the car’s suspension compression. It is similar to Bumpsteer, which can be seen on the front of all cars (if the adjustment is being used). This can be used, for example, to give your car more Toe on the straights (for more forward grip) and less toe through a corner (for more rotation).
