Also do the original plastic ones have 10 degree?

Hi Johannes


Yes std plastic are 10 degree but its not as simple as you describe. From Elvos guide ........


More More caster aids stability, and handling in bumpy sections.


Less Less caster increases steering drastically.
Steering feels much more direct, the car turns tighter and faster.


Have a read of Elvos guide on caster here.

Im running the 10 degree indoors on low grip and use the 12 degree blocks outdoors on astro. Jan is right though, im hard pressed to notice any difference. I think its a matter of a small tweak here and a small tweak there all added together makes the difference, not small individual changes. Thats my personal opinion though !
