I did have to use washers on each axle (outside the setup station) to take up some space as you could not screw the lock nuts onto the axle enough to make the setup station nice and snug on the axle....overall, I still cannot believe how much I was off with using the rpm camber gauge!

One more thing...the first time I used the station, I did it without fuel in the tank....I thought about that a bit and decided to fill the tank about 1/2 full and do the setup again.....the 1/2 tank of fuel made a difference as well, as I had to tweak my settings a bit....(I figure if I do the setup at 1/2 tank, that is a good compromise). Overall, I am very glad I got this thing (and I am not a serious racer by any means).
Well it sound like it really makes a differance. I will have to check this out....
Thanks for the reply
