RC Suspension Tuning Guide – Camber Link Locations

What are Camber Link Locations?
The Camber Link is the adjustable rod or fixed-length rod that connects the chassis to the front caster block or rear hub carrier. It affect how much the Camber changes during suspension travel.

Lengthening or shortening the camber links can affect traction, stability and handling.

As the pictures shows, some vehicles use vertical links and other use horizontal links. The tune is the same, its merely the adjustment that differs.

If you change your car’s Camber Link Locations, you will need to recheck your Camber settings.
