Default Setting your Genesis to run straight

On occasion the Toe-In, and camber settings may not always be ideal for the surface of the user. I reccomend to adjust the camber and toe-in to apx -3 degrees Rear Camber and Toe in. The front i recommend 0 degrees of toe in. This will make the truck Track Much Straighter. Also, we recommend tightening the servo saver. This will also aid in straightening out the truck under load.

Default RE: Setting your Genesis to run straight

I haven't been able to set my new Genesis to go straight. I have tightened the servo saver. Can't tighten any more. If I don't have the thing that tells me the degrees of camber and toe in, how can I do this?
Please help.

By the way, I get confused, just for clarification purposes, what is camber, caster and toe in?

You don't need a degrees reader you could do it with your own eyes

Camber is The wheel leaning at the to EXAMPLE it you were LOOKING AT THE WHEELS FROM EITH THE FRONT OR BACK OF THE TRUCK /---\ this is what negative camber would look like. EXAPLE 2: \---/ this is what positive camber would look like..

Toe in or out: LOOKING FROM THE TOP OF THE TRUCK /--\ this is toe in EXAMPLE2: \--/ this is toe out.

Caster: This one is a little harder to explain if you take your wheel off and look at the front carrier if it is tilted back slightly this would be negative caster. If it is tilted forward it is positive caster.
In the rear caster is referred to as squat. Anti being negative Pro being positive.


Legend
/ \ = wheels
--- = arms and chassis

I hope this helps you out.
