Let me preface this by saying the team drivers are the experts, not me. If you doubt what I say by all means follow the team drivers advice. That said, I'm surprised that making sure your front tires are pointed straight ahead before checking camber was not mentioned. You can check this with a straightedge prior to making adjustments. Otherwise you will not get an accurate reading. If you doubt this, try turning your wheels one way or the other slightly. You will notice that it changes the apparent camber, so you need to make sure the front wheels are pointed straight ahead. I'd suggest rather than guessing at the toe, you measure it. Using a ruler and following the same plane as the arms, measure the front and then the rear. Equal readings if you want no toe, a lesser measurement in the front if you want toe in, greater in the front if you want toe out. I usually use about 1/16" to 1/8" less distance in the front (toe in) to make the steering a bit less aggressive. That also helps the car track straighter just like the factory toe in on the rear tires.
I needed this for tuning my new 22. Thank you for posting

It's made by Upgrade RC. It says so right on the body. The TLR guys get it done by them. It's a vinyl graphic wrap.
The TLR guys actually get their bodies airbrushed by Bradley Fine Line Designs. Upgrade is on the car because that's where Matt gets his vinyl logos.

what are the tools used for ride height and camber called?
Where do you guy get the skins for your bodies.
I’m not arguing anything here!....He states they use -1 camber and that the tool is set to that. Look like 0 to me.
