If you add more caster (more spacers in the front) you will increase the on-power steering at mid corner and corner exit. plus you the car will be more stable in the straight away

they are not ROAR legal for the 200 mm class, so most of the people that i race with and myself race with a 3 port motor.

one way to fix that is if you have a tire truer you can cut about 1mm of your front tire, that can help with this problem.

Try putting spacers to avoid rubbing. But make sure to readjust your track width to 200mm. Hope this helps

if you do that you can take a chance of losing your front wheel during a long A-main.Unless you put locktite on the nut

cut 1 mm of your front tire ,from my experience this is the best way to go with out changing your track width!

you want to match them or cut the front a little smaller than the rea ,the rea usually wear out faster than the front changing your overdrive ratio troughout the race
