IMO most people do not design in camber gain because it will limit the available travel by adding additional static cv joint angle. If you want maximum suspension travel you will avoid camber gain.
So what you are saying masterfaber is build it with no camber or camber gain. That would be easy. with two exact same car, one built with camber and camber gain, and the other build with out, how would you notice it when driving them. Can you have camber on a wheel with no camber gain through the suspension cycle?Sorry for all the question, just trying to learn.
Unless you have u joints or cv's that allow 25 or so degrees angle I'd build it with no camber. Same cars but one with and one without will genarally not be noticable in the sand. On pavement there's a very noticable difference in cornering ability to have a progressive camber curve. Yes you can have camber and no camber gain. All above is just my opinion that is both shared and scorned . In other words ,ask 10 people and you'll get 11 answers. The real answer lies in the actual usage.
I here you on the 11 different opinions. I like to listen to all the opinions and make a decision from that. Then live and learn. The car will be used on dirt/gravel roads,feilds and pastures. Keeping that in mind will I need camber gain? I have type 4 cv so I only have 22 degrees angle.
I'd go with camber gain and the lower arm parallel to the ground with you in it ready to ride."The car will be used on dirt/gravel roads,feilds and pastures",How much travel do you really need to do this?I would rather have better handling.Look at any redline revolt video then decide if you want camber gain.
