I think my Traxxas N Sport might be toed in too much. It just doest look right... I know that there shoud be some "toe in". I took a ruler and put it flat against the outside rim of one of the rear wheels, and the ruler went to the inside of the front wheel. (It did the same thing on both sides) Is this bad??? If it is how can you change it? It is wearing tires down fast and I dont want to buy a third set right now...:rolleyes: Thank-you

The reason that the rear tires are toed in, is for a good reason.
It is a handling issue, if you think about it, as you enter, let's say a left turn, your car's right side will get most of the weight, because of the weight transfer that goes on, and, if you are under power, that right-rear wheel, will get most of the 'weight', so, that tire is turning, so it helps your car turn, in a nutshell.
It cannot be changed, and I am pretty much sure the reason your tires are wearing out, is probably because you are running them on the road(am I right?)

Rear toe in also gives you more traction. If your car sticks in the turns, dont change the rear toe in. Too much rear traction? Then take away from it, but from what xxxer said, you cant change it. So that brings me to tires. Its an offroad car, which is meant to be run off road. If you do run it on road, Proline makes tires called road hawgs, Speed Hawgs, and stuff along that line that will work better. They will work for bashing around too!
