Built my first Axial Kit - RR10. I’m an older guy, and haven’t built any RC kit since the mid 1970s when I was a teenager. Everything seemed to go together really well. Pretty good diagrams. When I finally put the wheels on, I noticed an extreme amount of positive camber on the the left front (see pic), maybe 20º. When the wheel is removed, I can see the axle end pointing toward the ground at the same angle. The right side is normal. Can someone please tell me what I did wrong?

Knuckle or c-hub is upside down I guess.
Take a picture with the wheels off and from the side.

Sounds familiar.

Looks like the c-hub is upside down, try flipping it 180*.

Also try sliding the rubber bump stop up on the shock shaft to get the retainer lined up properly

Yup c-hub upside down and that shock retainer is out of the rod end
