New Caster Blocks 12'

[Alan1467]

new front caster blocks soon
54063 TRF501X Aluminium Caster Block (12 Degrees) June 08

[B44&501xRacerEX]

I dunno if Jimmy is gonna try these or not?
He's been running the snot outa his durga though.

I just looked on rctech a moment ago, I cannot beileve a durga beat a 501x.....thought that was kinda weird.

I have plastic caster blocks coming to try out one day.
I'll probably still leave the WCE aluminum ones on it for now though.
No sense changing the car around, when there's nothing wrong
with the way I have it setup. (using the stock setup)

I still dont get this twitchiness rumor on rctech though.

haha, yeah there was some crack being smoked on that other forum. That one guy seems to absolutely hate his 501X so I'm not sure why he still has it. He's gone from quoting a shoddy article in a magazine where a touring car driver setup a 501X and it was apparently 'the worst over the bumps' and I quote "the most like a touring car". never!

but nah, I don't think I'll be trying these as the car is good how it is already.

Having a WCE, I found the car a bit less stable over bumpy parts of the track compared to my "old" TRF501X. I changed the alu castor blocks and rear hubs to the plastic bits from the DB01 and found it to be better. So I won't be trying the aluminium 12° blocks.

Personally, I'd like to see some 8 degree castor blocks, to get a bit more low speed turning.

I would personaly like to see some other rear toe-in blocks.

Don't know the car too well, but could they be put on the wrong side to do this?
The old Cat 2000 caster blocks were like that.
