One thing I haven't tested there yet is using th 1 degree blocks but left and right side reversed. You'll get more steering in the middle of the corner without adding traction rolln tendency at corner entry.

The 0 degree blocks are definately the safer choice.

not sure if its a serpent part as it came separate. the shop owner handed me the 3rd one-way kit and just taped the thicker ring with the pack. i'll try to inquire if i get the chance to visit the shop again.
got it at Harmony Models at HK... see pics

When I Talked to Gianni , he was running the 0's & I believe he said they are the same as the Stock knuckles & the +1's added steering. Or it was Vise Versa. But yea, one of them adds to the steering.

The first generation had the second ring that needed to replace the original. The product that came out after that already had the new ring in the package. There is no part number for the ring alone.

What is the problem with the ring that came with the set? I got mine recently and it fits ok.

i believe the 3rd one-way set that i got were of the first batch which had a thinner ring. the succeeding batches came with the thicker ones, as MNF1SAND mentioned...
