The TC4 doesn't work, period. The Pro 4 does.

In my experience with the Pro 4, adding kick-up increases front traction which translates into more overall steering. Not sure how much kick-up you'll need. I'm using .5mm of kick-up and 2* castor blacks for stock racing on carpet w/ foam tires. I'm considering going to 0* castor blocks to increase on-power steering. I guess the question is: what are you trying to achieve by reaching 3* of castor? Also, your set-up info. and track conditions would help others to help you.
one of the racers at my local track said that 3 degrees is ideal for any car, whether foam or rubber.

for setup i'm running a stock motor with rubber on carpet.

Thanks

Ok, but... you still haven't said what you're trying to achieve by getting 3 degrees of castor? Depending on your answer, you could be going the wrong way.

Sounds like the guy giving the advice drives and Xray since I believe they have 3 and 6 degree blocks. If you can tell the difference between 2 and 3 degrees, then your name must be Hara, Baker or Masami.

The Hara DHI 2004 setup shuld be a good starting point for rubber racing. Uses stock suspention-blocks and springs, you probably only need some shims.

Jeah, and after that, when you`ll got some option springs etc. you can try Andy Moore`s carpet world set-up which is much more easier to drive
