When camber is set, what is more forging? If I use neg 1.5, is that more forgiving than say 1.0? And how does one set the rear to make it more forgiving?

In theory, the more negative camber you have in a certain tire, the more of it is not touching the ground, so if your question is more forgiving in the amount of tire hitting the ground (when going in a straight line), than -1.5 will be better than -1.0. However, remember that when you load a car to the left or right, that is where camber comes more into play from a handling standpoint.

I hope that helps.

On high bite surfaces you will gain more rotation/less grip/freeing up the car with more camber. You will gain more steering and traction with less camber on low bite.

CAMBER
Camber is the relationship of the tire to the ground, such that a tire that is perpendicular to the racing surface has zero camber. If the top of the tire leans in toward the car, it has negative camber; likewise, a tire that leans outward at the top has positive camber.

Front Camber. Adding more negative camber to the front of your buggy will make your car less aggressive, especially when turning into the corner. More negative camber will also lessen the chances that the front tires will catch on ruts or bumps. Mark says, “On rough or high speed tracks, adding more negative camber is an important adjustment to make.” It’s usually best to start with a little bit of negative camber in the front.

Taking away negative camber (or even adding positive camber) to the front of your buggy takes away a little bit of overall steering, but will make your buggy steer into the corner more aggressively since the corner of the tire will dig into the track’s surface. This can help on slower tracks with plenty of high-speed corners.

Rear Camber. More negative camber in the rear tires will free up the rear of the car, making it whip around by taking away lateral traction. As with the front of the car, more negative camber will help your buggy navigate through rough sections of the track.

Running less negative camber in the rear will take away a little bit of overall steering, but your buggy will handle more responsively. If the track is not bumpy and has good traction, try running less negative camber to help carry more speed through corners.
