13 degree blocks will make your buggy turn in harder but it will have less steering from the middle of the turn to the exit.
16 degree blocks will make your buggy have less steering entering the turn but it will have more steering from the middle of the turn to the exit.
I personally have always preferred running less caster (13 degree) so that when battling for position going into a turn I have a better chance of getting the position I want due to more steering.
You can further minimize caster by reducing your front anti-dive.
I hope this helps.

Excited for the new release of the stiffer A-Arms!

But are these arms actually stronger? They don't even mention that

These arms are made from the same material as the hard rear arms IF423H. They're meant to reduce arm flex, nothing more. Think about the hard arms in the same way you would arm stiffners from other brands that you screw into the arms. The outer hinge pin mod was first mentioned on here by Piro, David Ronnefalk's wrench/father about a year ago. Been running my front arms like that for a while now. The outer hinge pin does more to improve the arm durability than the material change. In fact, any time you increase stiffness (reduce flex) in plastic, you make the part more brittle.

That was my exact thinking Sean. If anything these arms would b more prone to break. So the hinge pins used off the truggy actually makes them stronger? Are these these the front outer hinge pins off the trugg?

The new stiffer servo saver spring should be "fun" installing. I had a hard enough time with the stock spring when changing to the aluminum servo saver. I would imagine the stiffer spring would take a miracle to install!

I usually put it in a bench vise with a socket and very slowly screw it on while still compressing the spring.

The above graph can represent 2 materials, one brittle (red) and one ductile (blue). The brittle part is technically "stronger" as it took a higher stress before it broke. But the ductile part absorbed more energy before it broke at a lower stress level.
The hinge pin is the STRR Evo rear outer, IS119-52.5. Will need a 3mm reamer to ream out the rear hole in the arm.

Here's a post I put up in Ryan Lutz's thread. Looks like kyosho have 1/2 listened..llol
I will only comment on the cars I have owned :-
Agama - Nope
Associated - By far the worst handling car out the box to get fast.
Durango - Nope
Hot Bodies -Nope but Ty is on rails with his.
JQ - Nope but JQ needs to start getting his parts made in Taiwan and not China. They are letting him down and wasting his fantastic efforts into making his car good.
Kyosho - Presently Own. Best handling car out the box bar none. However, they need to make softer plastic arms to stop them breaking but with carbon stiffeners to stop them flexing.
Losi - Nope mainly because of all the screw and parts I've collected over the years to then go impereal??
Mugen - Have owned and could not find the balance of speed and consistency.
SWORKz - Nope
Tekno - Nope
XRAY - Had XB9 12 and 13 for a year and did not break one part. Fantastic car for finishing races, If only it handled as good as a kyosho

The 52.5 seem definitely to long

I think you guys are right, don't have the parts in front of me.
