Setting Camber
should front and rear camber be changed together, or is there ever a time when you want less camber in the front or the rear? this goes for on and offroad.

RE: Setting Camber
well i know when it comes to off road in 1/10 scale associated b4s that you pretty much keep them on the neg side. there are books you can get on setting up your car from associated http://www.rc10.com/newprod/tuning_guides.htm. hope this helps. im no expert but thats what i have been told positive is not a good thing and your rear should match your front. and if im wrong someone please correct me because id like to tell about 30 other people they are wrong to. well maybe not i want the advatage lol

RE: Setting Camber
Front and rear don't need to be changed together. Camber generally affects how the vehicle feels when going through turns and bumps. More camber will often smooth out a car that is having trouble negotiating a rough section without getting caught in it. Less camber can make a vehicle feel more responsive to inputs for a more precise feel on smooth tracks. For offroad, usually more front camber is used than rear, generally 1-2 degrees neg. in front and 0-1 in the rear. Less in the rear will generally give more forward traction. Onroad cars mostly adjust camber for even tire wear which equates to the most traction. This is usually .5-1 all around depending on tires and camber gain.
Less camber in front is very rare, if ever used at all. I won't say never because someone somewhere might find a use for it, but in general, never.
