Whilst I was up at Dms today getting X 6 stuff ( nice carbon motor plate and blue stuff ) and saw the new Vampire metal rear hinge pin blocks, they look good quality and £19.99, what degree are the team guys going to run 3 or 4 deg??

[Cockerill]

I've only ever run the 4deg standard block, so I'm gonna start with the 4deg Vampire block. I'll probably give the 3deg block a try though.

[MHeadling]

My X6 has Rayspeed 0.5 deg rear hubs on it, do you think that with the 4deg block this is too much rear toe in? Should I switch to the 3 deg one when using these hubs?

Also one other quick one, I need a bit more on power steering, will switching from the 25 deg c hubs to the 30 deg ones give me more on power steering? What do you guys run normally outdoors?

[Northy]

I think of caster blocks like a supermarket trolley. Trolleys have extreme castor (as they have castors fitted ) and as soon as you push them they just go forward..... so

More caster = less on power steering.

In board and outboard toe give a different feel as well, i can't remember what now but im sure ellis or elvo will be able to tell us.

We used to run 1 inboard and 2 out on the schuey on road cars at times.
