A camber gauge is fine but you need to rely on good wheels to give you correct readings or you will need to use special setting wheels. The Hudy gauges are the most accurate. The normal camber gauge is useful for quick on the track adjustments.
You can use the camber gauge to set the rear toe in. Make the car stand on it's rear with it's rear shock towers supporting the car as it stands vertically upwards on a flat surface. Then the toe in of the rear wheels can be measured with the camber gauge.
For the front toe in / out, no idea...

I wouldn't use a camber gauge in preference to the Hudy system!!

I run a No. 6TF on my NovaMax engine with 25% nitro. I add 0.1 mm copper shim to stock aluminum one (total is 0.4 mm). Sings very well. You could take a peek at Motorman's engine tuning guide. Use a plug which gives you the best performance.

"...You adjust clutch gap by placing shims (medium size) on the thrustbearing holder, in front of the thrustbearing assembly.
When properly shimmed, there should be approximately 0.7mm of clutch gap. ..."

At the end of the day, it all depends on the driver's liking and style of driving.

My friend runs off road and told me about a dry lubricant that is just awesome. So I ordered some up and it finally came today. I had my car sitting there all assembled. Moved the suspension up and down and it felt very smooth without any lubricant at all!(Good job Serpent!)
The stuff I ordered comes in a bottle with a long needle type tip on it, makes it really easy to reach those hard to reach areas.
So I applied this stuff to all the joints in the control arms, all the ball ends for the steering and sway bars and the dog bones. All I can say is HOLY CRAP!!!!!
I thought my suspension was smooth. It is soo smooth now is is unbelievable!
It uses Moly and has a psi rating of100,00psi. It comes out like WD40 and flows through all the crevices and then dries up completely. It also cleans the part as its flowing.
Its solvent action dissolves old grease, sludge and grime.(A quote from there instructions) The stuff is just awesome, I highly recommend this over any other product I have ever tried. And I've tried quite a few running off road over the years.
The US Army used this product in there weapons during Desert Storm to keep them from jamming from all the sand and grit. The product is there Multi-Purpose lubricant and its from Dri Slide. Check out there website at www.drislide.com

Where did you get that stuff from? which one did you get, there is a 4oz bottle with needle, and a 5.25oz Aerosol. For those who use metric like me, 4oz is ~113grams and 5.25oz is ~143grams...
