Not sure if your asking for what antisquat is, or what the actual angle is on the bmax....so....

You can adjust the angle of the rear hinge pins for both anti squat and toe angles.

Anti squat is the vertical angle of the rear hinge pin (as opposed to toe in which is obviously the horizontal angle)...on any car it's typically set with the front of the hinge pin a little higher than the rear of the hinge pin...hence the angle number that the losi, and most cars describe it with.

As people have described already, if you lift/lower both the front and rear ends of the hinge pin with the blocks, you won't be changing the anti squat.

Simple description of the anti squat adjustment...more anti squat (lifting the front end of the hingepin, so increasing the angle) gives better lift of jumps and bumps, but reduces side bite, and vice versa.

They don't seem to tell you what the actual angle is on this car, so all you can do as go for more or less based on the settings available, and the setting you are currently using.
