You can get the 12* aluminum caster block from Tamiya. Standard kit ones are 10*...

The optional alu caster blocks are 10 and 12 degrees.

511 kit plastic block is the DB01 carbon upgrade part 54034. This is a 10* block. If the 511 has more than 10* of caster stock, it's due to kickup in the front arm mounts, but I see your point...

griffs aint that pretty!!!! hahahaha!!!

correct EG94, although having a lower car is better than having a high one with permenately compressed springs, in relation making them stiffer

:-p
