1) the more inline the axle, the more turn-in or initial steering you get. the more trailing the more mid corner and exit steering you get, it's also a bit more stable in the steering dept.
2) the kickup is 25 deg and with the included inserts you can't get 25 deg castor
3)Just look at the inserts, it's not hard to see if you're adding or subtracting castor.

First race with the car today. I have to say I'm impressed. Can't believe how much steering the car has. I ended up with the longest wheelbase possible(inline all the way forward and rear hubs all the way back). The car is very stable and loves to be driven fast! I can fill out a setup sheet if anyone is interested. I was running on a very high bite track, the ohio rc factory, if anyone is familiar with it. What I liked most about it was, coming from an 1/8 scale racer, I can drive it fast with all the steering and the rear end never breaking loose.
The things I had issues with was the rear plastic toe block. It seems like the plastic is really weak and the hinge pins bust out of them easily.. Just don't wreck right? And like others, the ball cups popping off. But that's the only complaints I have. The build was stellar, it looks freaking awesome, and it drives really well. I let another racer drive it and he was impressed. It got a lot of attention, good and not so good, but at the end of the day most was good.

Can you give a setup?

Moving the axle in the front knuckle does not change the ackermann as the actual knuckle does not move fore or aft, just the wheel/axle...moving the c-hub fore and aft will change the ackermann, more ackermann when all the way forward, less all the way back. Moving the axle within the knuckle changes the amount of trail...my 2c
