I have just fitted both rear wheels to my RB7 and have noticed that there seems to be a quite extreme camber.
Both sides are pointing in at the top at an angle i wouldn't have expected.
I have double checked my build process but cant see any mistakes on my behalf.
Has anyone else found this?

Have you got a photo?

You probably have some of the linkages at the wrong length.

its normal for rear wheels to have a little toe-in.

Check the rear hubs with the instructions for each, are correctly oriented and are correct for each side of the model.

I have had a look and can't see how I could have mixed them up.
I notice that when I rotate the wheels one side of the drive shaft almost comes out of the housing.
I will attach a pic shortly.

Whoopsy.... Had the left and right hubs 180 degrees out. The bottom fixing was on the inside instead of out and subsequently pushed the bottom of the hub out.
Dont i feel stupid!!

Here is a pic of mine, where you can see that the bottom mount tab is wheel side rather than facing inside.
