RC18 Series Using Tips Camber & Ballstud Height

You can change the front or rear roll center by raising or lowering the inner ballstud. Camber is the angle of the tops of the wheels from straight up and down. It is very rare that you will ever use positive Camber. Giving one end of the car less Camber gives that end less traction in the corners, in most cases. For example, if your car is loose, you could either add a degree of rear Camber or take out a degree of front Camber. A lower roll center will put more weight on the tires during cornering, and increases traction to that end of the car. Leaning the top of the tire in is Negative Camber, leaning the top of the tire out is Positive Camber.
