Yeah, camber is easy to set. My issue is, when I change camber, toe changes also. Its a back an forth thing. I will try the ruler method you suggested for toe, as my eyeing it method takes a while, lol. Again, I can do it, I just dislike it, lol. Was looking for an easier/faster way to get the toe and camber right. Again, camber is easy. But it messes with toe, so i go back and forth.

So, I need to replace my steel turnbuckles with lunsfords. I have been delaying the effort because I HATE setting up the front toe and camber. Even when I measured my links during the initial build, I noticed it was way off. I eventually get it all sorted out, but the effort is painful, and lots of trial and error. Does anyone have good tips for get the front end at zero toe and 1 deg camber the first time? I have been debating getting setup wheels and maybe a board of some sort.

Just finished my mm build and have encountered a problem. I assembled my gearbox with ceramic bearings to start. There's a rough spot somewhere and I've checked the gears for debris and it's clean. The two halves of the gearbox don't close all the way in a couple spots too. Anyone have these issues too?

I just did the same thing yesterday and put Lunsfords on mine. I used my calipers to measure the distance between the cups (exposed part of turnbuckle) and re-set the lunsfords to that measurement when I put it back together. Went quick and easy, and all my settings are exactly the same.
Also, I posted a cup binding video last week. I might do a small before and after polishing one to demonstrate how much you can free them up with a dremel and some 800 grit. I just spent the entire weekend moving and now unpacking, so my RC free time has been hampered.

The camber shouldn't affect the toe. I have never had that problem on any of my cars. Just make sure to drop the car and settle the suspension before each link you adjust, and after you adjust each link to make sure the car is settled. You can easily push the car down and have one corner measure to -1 camber, but as soon as you settle it have it be -1.5 or something like that. Same goes with adjusting toe. Settle-measure-adjust-settle-measure- repeat. Additionally when adjusting front toe I like to do it with the car on so that the steering doesn't move and is held in place by the servo. Helps eliminate changes from ackerman.

And by pushing down I meant when you are actually adjusting the link itself. And you fail to settle the car after adjusting. Sorry, should have made that more clear.

If you drop of push the car down, it should return to the ride height settings. I like to drop it to because its more fun, lol.

Camber will always affect toe. Don't believe it? Pop the inner ball cup off the caber link and tilt the wheel in and out using the camber link. You will see the toe also changes, although it's not a whole lot when your talking small camber adjustments. That's why its a good idea to adjust camber first before you move on to toe.

Tlr wheels
Just wanted to share for those like me that are just trying without letting go their TLR cars.
I did this mod a while ago on my team-c vehicule so ive re-use it on the b5m. Ive cut the 22 front hex and drill them bigger. Used cuntershunk screw and a 1mm spacer to get same offset.

what is a good competitive servo, motor, esc setup for this buggy? Will be running on an indoor carpet track
I am really liking the hacker motor and esc's orion makes a nice esc as well. As for servos you can't go wrong with savox
