Positive camber=lower traction+increased tire wear.

I love the look of the VW Type IV engine in an open mount.

Camber is just about perfect for landing a jump off a dune...

Camber makes no difference in landing a jump. You need suspension travel and rate for that. Depending on the linkage geometry, those wheels could stay that way through the entire range of motion.

You're right, camber wouldn't matter landing the jump. But given that looks to have a VERY basic suspension on the back end, to get much travel, you'd wind up with positive camber under minimal loading. Hence my comment above.

I think they have maximum loading now with the positve camber. I agree that it will probly go negative as suspension lowers, but it needs to be changed "as it sits" now.

My maximum loading is that that is as much weight as that will probly ever carry. Not that the suspension is at full travel.
