Inferno MP7.5 Camber/Caster

[supagas]

I have nearly finished building my Inferno MP7.5.
The manual specifies that you should have about 13mm of threaded rod showing on the front upper suspension arms.
Am I right in saying that adjusting this distnce will adjust the camber of your car ?
When I have a measurement of 13mm, I have huge positive camber on the front wheels.
To get 0 deg camber, I need to screw the rod end nearly all the way in.
Any ideas as to why I have such large positive camber even though I used the measurements specified in the manual ?

Any help appreciated.

You are correct. The turnbuckles on the upper arms adjust Camber.

I have about 7mm of threaded turnbuckle showing between the upper arm and the outer end on the front and about 18mm on the rear on my 7.5.

Heres a pic before the Kanai upgrades. Even though its the old turnbuckles, the new ones have the exact same distance between upper arm and end.

Thanks for your help.
How many degrees of Camber and caster are you running on your buggy ?

I have about -1 degree camber front and back (so the tires tilt inwards). About -1 degree toe out up front and about +2 toe in for the rear. Isnt caster controlled by the hing pin plate? If so I have the #2 plate front and rear. I beleive thats 2 degrees.

You may want to sheck out some of the Kanai's set up sheets.
