Im fairly new to the Hot Bodies side of setup myself, but am really quite liking the 2.5degree of front arm sweep, gives a bundle of initial steering which allows for effortless steering input, though if you do start overdriving on steering it wont like it, which i have found.

The less front sweep, the less initial steering you will get. Obviously if you want to try none a 0 degree front block is what your after. Seems the general Hb setups are either 1.5,2.0,2.5 though.

interesting enough I find the opposite to be true. I think 0 deg blocks give more initial steering while as I go up in degrees it gives less initial and more mid to exit steering. I think it has something to do with caster and also, to a small degree, ackerman.
not trying to start a fight but just putting in my $0.02 .... lol
