You can't adjust camber on a stock TL-01.
You'll have to spend money on upgrades if you want to start adjusting things.

There should be one. Check www.towerhobbies.com and search for TL-01 parts or something close to that.

ok the first links will tell you what the amout of camber on the car is at the wheel. The shocks wouldn't work.They aren't made for your car. Maybe the springs. The lights would and the motor would work

Ok about the camber, are those usable on my car? cuz i dunno if they are universal or not
#2 how come the shox woulnt work? i got the model number from the instructions manuel, and it listed it as a hop-up upgrade for it, ok so the motor is a good one? lotsa torque?

oh those shocks could work then. In the link it said it wasn't able to be used on the TL-01. You have to find some camber links for the suspension.
