On another hand the new car that's currently in the works will have around 10 degrees of kickup. So a 0 degree hub will definitely be appreciated until we come up with a TeamC one! Actually I think that a 3 or 4 degree hub will be a must, for a total of 13 or 14 degree caster...
Hey ....

I guess I could increase the kick-up to 10 degrees? I wanted to try them and my original idea of 0 degree blocks was because they would be easier to make.
So lazy sometimes ... lol
Do you have any idea when the car is due out?
