Stand the car vertical with the radio "on" so the servo will hold the front wheels.

Use the clinometer to ensure the frame is vertical; then read the "camber" of the front wheels with it in that position. Negative will be toe-out; positive will be toe-in.

That's wicked! I can't believe that I've had this app for so long and never thought of using it for this! Thanks for sharing!

What other types of "apps" for RC are there?

Or what would you like to see get developed?

I use GearIt for TC racing.

Default iPhone only

I don't have an iPhone (on sprint network) so I tried to use a iTouch. Unfortunately it requires iPhone...

But there is one called iHandy Level (Free) and iHandy Carpenter ($$$)
