just want to know what angle or degree dose every one cut there tires at for sedan and 1/8.
Dude, what do you mean by angle or degree? Are you refering to the angle that cones the tire to accomodate the camber your running on the car? If that's the case, then for 1:8th scale I use 0-.5 degrees for the front and 1 degree for the rear. For sedan I have only trued at 0 degrees. But might try a half of degree (.5) for the rear.

I'm no expert with this by any means, but it does help get your tires scrubbed to the proper camber angles (coneing). I find that when the rear tires are coning well, then your making good use of your tires contact patch with the track. You always want to have the tires cone with a smaller diameter towards the inside, if your tires (usually the front) start to cone the wrong direction then you need to add more camber. Make sence? Good luck man.
