Homemade camber measurement tool

[Ricks15]

Ive seen this type of tool but for RC cars but it would be pretty trippy to see if it would be usefull for the track attack people who want to measure the amount of camber there running at different tracks, It would be like a large square plastic of wood thats cut in four differnt angles and each angle would be a degree of camber.

You can just use a level, ruler and a little bit of geometry.

they make DIY camber measure tools.

you could make one pretty easy. its a long piece of metal with two extendable arms at the tips. a leveler is attached to the arm perpendicularly. indicators are etched on the leveler that dial in 0, 1, 2, 3, etc degrees.

you could add a pivot, another piece of metal, and another level to adjust for uneven ground too.

2 Pieces of metal with a thin metal plate welded onto them with the same spacing as upposing lugs and then just have a nail or something directly in the center of that plate and then from that center point just use a protractor and draw out the various degrees..
Put it on the wheel, spin it, get a regular level from a harware store and check to make sure its level and at a 90 degree angle from the ground, and then put a string with a weight on the nail, and look at where the string lays..

Im guessing you could make something like that and have it work properly?


More or less like making a ghetto version of the Ikeya Formula Maple A-One gauge..

or just get a string, hold it so that the bottom just touches the bottom of the lip of the wheel, then measure the distance from the top of the lip to the string and use math.... this is how its been done forever.....
