Guys question when my km is driving I noticed the rear tires are angled so that the inner tread is what is making the most contact. Should I adjust the arms so that the tire is more flat?

Or is it meant to be in that position?
 
Its meant to be like that Blakey.Its the most common setting.When you turn a corner the car will list in the opposite direction making the tyre straighten up.I find my driving position is 2 DEGS negative camber.
Toe-in means when the front of the tyres are pointing towards the chassis.
J;)
 
the straighter they are, the faster it will be in straightaway, the more they point in, the better it will handle. (helps keep it straight when your on the throttle) You can buy different degree blocks for tuning to your style. But the stock setup is probably the best route.
 
I might futz around with it a little. I do love my straight speed, and sometimes not being able to control it is half the fun ;-)
 
well for a balanced control and spped, the 2 degree hubs are what most will use, you get more speed than a 3 degree, but still have a measure of control with 2 degrees of toe in.

if thats more what your aiming for, then get the 2 degree, but when i matched up a aftermarket set of spacers with the stock spacers i got a match of 3 degrees, so the km t1000 i think are 3 degree stock toe.

the buggies prolly are different toe tho. but the trucks seem to be 3 degrees
 
my baja's now got rear GPM alloy hubs, they came with the number "3" etched on them, i take it that means 3 degrees.. there's no difference in the rears to what the stock plastic hubs were. anyway, i was just wondering what set up some of you guys are running, then i found this thread...
the rears on my baja are toeing out (3 degrees) and the fronts are toeing in ever so slightly. camber is standard (as it came out of the box) except for the fronts I have brought them over the maximum negative camber setting)
as been said already with reference to this toe-in/toe-out lark, it handles superbly. i'm not really fussed about achieving stupendous top end speed as the track won't allow for it. was going to have a play with its set up but would like to hear what angles etc some others are running.
 
i have 2 degree HD hostile hubs on my baja (would have got 3 degree hostile hubs but DDM didnt have the HD hostile hubs in 3 degree LOL). i also have teh hostile heim conversion for mine as well ;)
