Default How to adjust Camber?

I'm trying to currently set the camber on my HPI R40 but I don't have a camber adjustment gauge or anything like that. I was wondering if anyone had a tip or a method on how to adjust camber w/o having to buy something like the Hudy set-up board. Thanks

Get an RPM or Atlas guage. Either one is less than $15.

Before I got the RPM gauge
I made a 0,-1,-2,deg gauge out of a piece of plywood with my Chop Saw

it worked fine

1 quarter glued to the side of a coke can = approx -1 degree
2 quarters glued to the side of a coke can = approx -2 degrees

I know it does cost $.75, but that is the lowest priced method I can think of!
