Technically, caster is the amount of camber change from +20 degrees of steering to -20 degrees of steering. So you can measure it that way.

Most setup stations should have a caster measurement on the side of the setup plates where you can compare the angle of the kingpin to the markings on the setup plate.

Ok thank you. I do have the markings on the setup plate.but my set did not come with the needles to gauge it by so I got to eye ball it or best guss. I thought there might be a better way.thanks for the information

I just use a small straightedge and eyeball it by lining up the kingpin to the marks. Should be close enough.

Also, if you use a hinged type camber gauge you can turn it towards the front of the car (face the camber gauge front to back) so that you can measure the caster via the upright pin angle;

TQ'd, took the win and set new track F1 single lap record and total laps record with my F1R3. This is a REALLY good asphalt chassis. Beat several F6's, and Xrays.

Looks like an old Tamiya F103 body you are running. You must be running the battery in line. If so is it a standard sized pack or a shorty? Can you show us your car without the body on it? Curious as to how you have every thing laid out?

That is a Team Saxo Legend body. The battery is transverse. The older F103 bodies actually fit the modern transverse battery chassis better than the newer bodies. More room in the side pods.

I run a standard 4200 mah shorty pack.

Are those Good Year tire decals or is it printed right on the rubber?
