Default Camber setup

I have a kyosho 777 sp1 and i can'y get the wheels to be tilted in. I have the rod on the upper arms tightened in all the way and it is still only pointing staright up. I have the 22 degree carriers on on, i have a set of 20 degree ones. Do i have the wrong carriers on or is this just the way its made.

You might want to check what holes you are using in the carrier. You need longer upper arms if you use the outer holes and shorter for the inner holes.

I am in the outer hole, if i put it on the inner hole the wheel has a severe angle outward. I seen some information on the setup on one of the drivers from the Kyosho team and the rod connecting the arms was threaded all the way in. So i think that there is not much i can do.

You might be using the wrong link
there is a long one for the rear and a shorter one for the front

Pictures help, lets see what it looks like

I think that i got it solved. There are two different sizes of upper arms you can get. The stock ones are the longer ones and are meant to go on the outside hole on the carrier. The shorter ones (which i am ordering) are meant to go in the middle hole. Which will then fix my problem. But if i still have trouble i will post some pics.
