The turnbuckles on a off-road car arm mounted on the chassis lower than wear they hook on to the Hubcarrier?Also if the cvds are at a downward angle from the outdrive to the hubcarrier?Like in the picture or is it best of the Turnbuckles and cvds are flat when the a-arm flat. Or is it better if the turnbuckles have a downward slant?

It depends entirely on the application.
Usually they mount lower inboard than outboard because it allows dynamic camber change during body roll keeping a better contact patch on the outside while cornering.

A lower interior mounting point for the camber link effectively lowers the chassis' roll center which allows for more roll throughout cornering. This is good for nitro vehicles which tend to have a noticeably higher center of gravity and thus benefit from lower roll centers (thus more rolling for extra traction), but running electric, you might benefit from raising the roll center. However it depends entirely on track conditions and your choice of tire and other suspension / steering adjustements. In general though, electric vehicles run higher roll centers that those on nitro vehicles.
