As on most karts you cannot alter the castor without also altering the camber the general consensus is not to worry about the camber as the caster will have the larger beneficial effect. Really I only alter camber to reach the tyre temperature I like across the surface of the tyre. In most cases drivers will tend to run full castor in the wet. Depending on the chassis you are running this usually means the dot on the top pill is pointing forward and the rear one is pointing backwards. This alters the amount that the inside wheel pushes into the ground when you down the steering wheel and how much the outer lifts as you turn the steering increasing the jacking effect, breaking the contact between the inside rear wheel and the track and making your kart turn more effectively.

However if you've got the new sniper independent castor camber adjuster then your in for a whole new world of adjustment.
