Am I correct to assume that I need 30mm blocks to use with the DM-1?
I see where the confusion comes in, and have the same difficulty understanding.
The Hudy 1/8 offroad setup station says to use 30mm blocks when checking and adjusting the Camber and Toe. The Hudy 1/8 onroad setup station manual does not use any blocks for these adjustments.

Problem is with GT type cars is what method of setup is the proper one?

I run the Kyosho Inferno GT. In addition to the Camber and Toe adjustments being different from On to Off road the droop measurements are also taken at different spots on the arms. I'm referring to the Hudy manuals only.

Its really confusing that we are setting up onroad cars based on offroad chassis' and using offroad setup stations to set up onroad cars. Sheeesh!! No wonder my brain is fried!!
