First time RC owner (Hurricane XP Pro), new to forums/posting, so bear with me when I ask what will probably be a stupid question or two - thanks!
The weather's been bad here in Cali (till this week) but I managed to get my engine break-in done. Read alot of the message boards out there regarding break-in and decided to go with 3 minute runs at varying speeds, running slightly rich, and completely cooling down between runs with the engine at BDC. I still haven't run at wide open throttle for anything longer than what I would consider a 'short spurt'. From all of the horror stories posted, didn't want to ruin a good thing. I will say that up to now, I am very pleased with the perfomance of my XP Pro. Right out of the box, my impression was completely positive regarding assembly and quality of components (with the exception of the wheels, looks like they wont last - more on that later).
With that history, here's my question - my tires appear to be pre installed with a positive camber...the tops of the tires lean out and the tires are wearing MUCH more quickly on the outside. Should I adjust this some and how? There are numerous points of adjustment and before I move forward with this, or not, I want to make sure I don't make it worse. There are turnbuckle adjustments and shock position adjustments that both may contribute to a change.
I've only been running on asphalt, too muddy and wet right now to run out in an open field.
Oh, those wheels and tires, I see buying a new set in my future. What would you all out there recommend? A set for the street? Buying them pieced out and assembling yourself? Where can i get the best deal?
Well, thats all for now, all advice is welcome.

Thanks for the feedback kemo - made the adjustment to the upper arm on the rears, will check that out (handling) and move to the fronts and see how that works out.
Checked out the link for the tires - lots of different applications and lots to learn.
Much thanks!
