Looking for setup tips to try on Saturday during practice. I have the aluminum caster block installed on my f109. I also run a flat carpet oval.
I can adjust camber, caster, and toe in/out on my f109.

Here is my current setup:
caster set at 7
RF camber set at about -1 to -1.5 degrees
LF is set at about 0 to .5 degree.
Toe in/out is pretty even.
I'm running soft springs on both sides up front.
F103 foams 3630 C front & 3645 C rears.
Also have the option to put f104 foams, front & rear, A & B compounds, to put on either side for stagger or to make car want to turn left naturally.

I'm asking because after last week I noticed that my front tires were cone shaped & after further research I found that I had the front caster block installed backwards, so when it said -2 on the block it was really much more than that. I also noticed that car seemed to want to push when I applied throttle coming out of the corners. I could catch this on transmitter, but was hard to do when trying to pass slower cars.
