5 degrees of camber is excessive and will cause the tire to ride on a very small patch, decreasing traction. I would also try less anti squat to promote some weight transfer to the rear wheels.

thats for toe in.

the anti squat block is in front of the gearbox. it holds the front portion of the rear hinge pins.

always check your drag brakes too. Excessive drag brakes or brakes that make your wheels lock up well make your ride spin out too.

What is the difference between running the 4 gear tranny and the 3 gear tranny. How does each effect the truck? Thanks

Default Body vents...

Just curious on what the trend is for what, or if not cutting all the hole out of the body? Advantages/Disadvantages parachuting, etc

I have no holes cut out and race outdoors and have had no issues with parachuting.

I use my dremel tool to cut out all rear facing holes on the front and rear areas. I did not cut the front facing hole below the front window, I did not cut the windows or the vent on the side (door area) of the body. I also take a little extra out around the rear bumper area.

Front facing vents don't tend to be useful iMO, they tend to give more lift so unless you are looking for that for say a specific jump (large triple) I'd leave it closed (personal opinion). Side vents tend to only weaken the body iMO so I leave them closed up.

That help? Here is a pic from the back side.
