And then all you have to do Is grab the wheel and tire, and rock it back and forth, and you can see that it is going from a couple of degrees positive to negative.

With the set up station you can see that the gauge and the axle are leaning the same direction.

All I'm saying is , it's a little more accurate with the wheels off than on , and that can't hurt or be bad.

I know exactly what you mean.
I set my camber with a camber gauge (eyeing the c-hubs) with the wheels off, too. Then use a vernier caliper to double check the camber link's length. I find it is more accurate this way than using a camber gauge on the wheels.

I had been thinking about finding a 1/10th off-road set-up station, too.
