Do what makes you happy, but positive camber isn't the answer.
Go with a solid baseline setup, just use tires appropriate for your track surface.

Then tune from there.
Yes, most cars have a rear camber curve that goes negative as the suspension compresses. Yes, this hinders forward bite slightly, but helps in all other aspects.
If you're having a traction roll issue where you enter the corner/tap the brakes and the car flips, you need to increase negative camber in the rear, change tires, or alter the rear roll center.

Thanks guys. I am clear on the negative and positve. But i am thinking on the straight, weight transfer and this will make the rear wheels going into more negative. I am trying to break the Losi 22B rear end more loose; due to my indoor track has a lot tight turn and front push as well as large turning radius. I dont like using brake (unless brake applied to turn sharp). I like roll it over the turn. Yes, i tried to slow down before entering the turn too. So i am thinking to run +1 positive on both front and back. Thanks guys.
Back in the days, if my memory serves me right, my old grasshopper and hornet were positive on both front and back.

I generally run no less than 1 degree of negative camber and no more than 3 degrees negative. It's a fine tuning thing for me.

j/k aside, -1 all round is a good starting point. Cheers,
