I've got a Savage X (although this will really apply to any monster truck) that I've made some suspension mods to, but have not been able to do better than eyeballing the alignment on. I suspect the truck would do well with more accurate settings. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this? I've got the camber set in 2 degrees on all 4 corners, so a straight reset of the tie rods to the stock lenghts won't do it.
Thanks for the help!

Start by making sure the toe links are the same length for both of the fronts and both of the rears. You could use something straight (yard stick, level, 2x4, etc) to place against the sides of the tires going from front to rear and measure the distance from the straight edge to the tire to check toe. If it is touching both sides of the tire, your toe is set at 0. Or you could use a [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXKHC3&P=ML]monster camber gauge[/link] to check camber and toe.
