Could someone please tell me what 30 degree caster blocks do compared to the stock ones. Does it give you more steering? Does it have more camber change turning?

More caster aids stability, and handling in bumpy sections.

Less caster increases steering drastically.
Steering feels much more direct, the car turns tighter and faster.
Do a Google Search for RC Car Set UP Guide and you will find a world of information to confuse you even more
Hope this helps

Just to show the differences in the different buggies, I use 25 degrees of caster on the RB5. My car pushed really bad before I made the change. Also, caster is changed at the pivot block on the RB5. This means you have to take the entire front apart to change it. It is a good thing that 25 works on virtually all surfaces on the RB5.

I found out that there is a high spot in the last double you DO NOT want to hit... lol Took out my front suspension mount, inner hinge pin, and arm... 
oh well, that's racin'

Of course it was you, I sure as heck didn't put it there 
btw, the Turtle Trax decals are printed and cut. I should have them by this weekend. I will have to find a way to get them up there to you. Maybe I can meet up with Adam at wolf camera or something? We'll figure it out.
