This is camber.

We measure it with one of these.

yea, i get that much i just meant what holes mean what or when it says -1.5 you always use the gauge to check? i just looking over the sheet studying it but like where it says camber link it says "2" which i get but wasnt sure what if your turning the turnbuckles to get the -1 or if there is a hole change that gets you to those and then fine tweak with turnbuckles. I think i have the rpm monster camber gauge and by looking at pics online since its been so long since used that it does show 1* increments. But i just want to make sure i have the correct hole locations and all...im sure im over analyzing it but id rather be safe then sorry

Put the camber link in the correct hole (as you can see the holes are identified on the setup sheet and you got that). Then adjust the tie rod to get the static camber you are looking for. Make sure you set your ride hieght first and then adjust the static camber.

I tried experimenting by using box stock rear springs in front and fronts in rear. I found cutting a coil off the previously rear springs worked well when using them in front. I find this is a cheap alternative to buying the racing spring sets.

Also, the hobby wing sct pro esc and 4000 kv motor simply kicks ass!!

What are you guys doing about the excessive play and sloppyness that develops in the turnbuckle rod ends?

Losi made a video for ride height.

We do ride hieght body off with the SCTE as it is hard to measure with the body.

Not sure who I actually am stealing this from, but the best thing I've heard about slop in a Losi is this: Secret Losi Overtaking Power.
