Are you just dialing in camber only?
If the toe plate fits around the shock tower you can dial in your steering symmetry for balanced throw L&R and also get your steering correctly centered.

The camber plates along with getting your static camber dialed in will also let you see how much camber gain you are adding or removing with changes to the shim count under the ball studs.

It's a great tool to use and you will be surprised at how much better the truck drives after proper setup.

Yeah, you know that feeling when it seems to turn a little better one way than another or traction roll one direction and not the other... but the cheap camber gauge says -1° all around and your eyes & ears see the L&R throw balanced?

It's not

Interesting. I was running into an issue with it cutting off under full throttle. Maybe I'll check the connections at the battery.

I'm using the hudy 1/10 touring car station from when I raced nitro TC. Steering plate doesn't get around the shock tower and its not wide enough though so I'm looking into another plate that will work.
Camber adjustment only right now.

I believe they have one for 1/10 offroad though now.

The ESC would shut off completely. Not shut off then turn back on...

I have the 1/10th off road setup, the toe board does not fit a short course truck.

Slots are too narrow or the shock tower is in the way?

Now I'm motivated to get a steering plate working. I have a 1/18 station, maybe I can work something to get it snug on the axles... that plate will fit.

Yes, and yes.

You can flip the wheel mounts and get around the shock tower.

Default tsr products

Has anyone tried tsr products? Their shock rebuild and diff rebuild kits look good. Have extra shims for the shim issue, several sizes actually. Anyways, if you have let me know if its worth the serious $$$.

Check out the new ride... just finished her.

Looking for weights, check the fishing weights at wal mart. they are lead, can be shapped and just shoe goo in
