I'm in the middle of a build on my xb2 carpet 17 and noticed the rear camber really looks off. I've built exactly as the manual shows using the (initial) settings highlighted in pink. I've made the rear camber link exactly what's shown in manual at 37.5 and using the initial holes recommended and my rear camber is right at +8. Has anyone else had this issue?

I'm waiting on a pair of front tires, but I put my wheels on to see how it looks and there sure is a lot of negative camber. I assembled it as per manual to include exact lengths of turnbuckles. I'm going to go over it again after work, but I can't help but wonder what I did wrong.

The lengths in the manual are just a starting point. I've never even used them, I have always just threaded the ends on to where the thread stops (to make sure both ends are threaded on the same amount) and then adjust to set camber after the whole car is done. Just make sure you adjust them the same amount and that the lengths match at the end.

HI, Bent.
We saw on Hupos Carpet XB2 a new narrower rear Suspension holder- we were told the it is for keeping better momentum for the car. When will it be released? Thanks

I finally set mine up last night. I had been waiting for the 17mm hex adapters to come in because I have a Hudy set up kit for 1/8 buggies and those adapters did the trick. with the initial lengths the turnbuckles listed in the manual more than 10 degrees of neg camber. I set up 2 deg neg and 2 toe out, 17mm ride height.
I didn't measure the driveshaft's, but I can and let you know.

You need the 1/10 setup stands to get correct readings
Here you can see the difference in axle height on 1/8 OR, 1/10 OR and 1/10 TC setup stands:

Moving the link to the middle hole on the upright gives us a camber link of 37.5mm and 1.5 degrees of negative rear camber.
Which is what we use on high grip carpet.

I had the same issues so I went to the center hole on the rear upright. Without changing the turnbuckle initial setting of 37.5 it seems to be a good starting point. I'm also curious if your kit came with 67mm or 68mm driveshafts? Mine included the 67mm and my buddies kit came with 68mm.
Unfortunately the change didn't make it into the first runs of the new updated manuals.
