CAMBER
Camber refers to the angle at which the tire and wheel ride
in relation to the ground when viewed from the front or rear.
Negative camber is when the wheels lean inward and
positive camber is when the wheels lean outward. Usually
adding a small amount of negative camber (0° to -2°) will
increase traction. However, adding too much camber will
decrease traction. The objective is to keep as much of the
tire as possible in contact with the running surface. Never
put in positive camber. Make sure that both sides are equal.

ROLL CENTER ADJUSTMENT
Install the inner upper arm in the lower position for high-traction
surfaces and in the upper position for low-traction surfaces.
TOE-IN AND TOE-OUT
Toe-in is when the fronts of the tires point towards each
other. Toe-in increases stability during acceleration and high
speed. However, toe-in also decreases steering when
entering a corner. Toe-out will increase steering into corners,
but will decrease the overall stability during acceleration. The
front typically is set-up with 0 to -2 degrees of toe-in. Toe-out
is when the fronts of the tires point away from each other.
Rear toe-in affects the traction of both the front and rear of the
truck. Rear toe-in increases the amount of traction in the rear,
but decreases steering. Decreasing rear toe-in will increase
steering, but will give less rear traction. the Warhead can be
set at 2° or 3° toe-in by repositioning the screws.
SLIPPER ADJUSTMENT
The slipper clutch is designed to help prevent gear damage
during jumping and to control traction when accelerating. To
properly set, turn the nut until tight and then back off by 1/8
turn. Never loosen the adjuster nut more than 1/2 turn from
fully tight. This can cause excessive heating of the slipper
clutch and will melt the spur gear.
