Duel camera mounts. If only lions could afford 2 cameras.


The 1st shot with the pole mounted gopro yielded a better view of water behind the lion than before.

The previous mounting showed nothing but a wall.

With tire wear continuing at full speed, the problem trended away from toe in & towards camber.  

Long thought to be unfixable, the camber is determined by a bend in the wishbones.

It turns out the wishbones can be flipped over, giving a closer to ideal camber position.  Further refinement is within the limits of changing the suspension height.

The result was much closer to ideal, but can't be known until replacing the right wheel.

The wishbone hack changed the toe-in again, which also can't be aligned without a new right wheel.  The right wheel bearing should now be the biggest source of wear.  

Towerhobbies was established when the population was concentrated on the east coast, so still relies exclusively on a warehouse in Illinois.  Hobbyking was lucky to arrive after the great westward migration & benefits from a warehouse in Oregon.  Unfortuntely, all the lunchbox parts require the slow truck from Illinois.
