Zero Degree Caster blocks are the new thing. I am running them as well as most people I know. We are seeing more corner speed, a raise in on power steering, better tire wear and better feel. I like them mostly for feel, makes the car respond to small input through the turning of the wheels. Where as the 10 deg have a more aggressive bite through the course.
Not sure if that last part makes sense lol! The zeros feel much more natural and the input is congruent with the amount the car turns. The 10s have a less linear feel through the turning of the wheels. Sorry guys hard to describe...
Zero degree blocks and zero degree hubs are the way to go.

Just after some ideas please as the Electric thread is rather quiet, I have attached my usual set up for my GT-e usually run GRP 5's all round during the day or 5 front / 3 rear at night, but have an upcoming state titles which is a night event, the control tyre is GRP 7's 
So wondering if there are any tweaks I can do to this set up to offset the loss of traction from running a harder compound. I am also changing from my Blitz 1/8 Shell to a Protoform PF8, mainly because the Protoform is painted a color easier to see and I couldn't get another Blitz shell locally.
So appreciate any ideas / feedback, as I don't really feel like making this a drift car right now!

Since it's winter I haven't been keeping up with posts here so I have a question, I just saw on the Serpent site that there is a version 2 kit that has a updated manual. The manual is for the version 2 diffs and for new rear suspension parts. I haven't heard anything about the new suspension parts, what are the benefits?
Thanks
Thanks

About to start my rebuild for this season. Thinking about using ceramic bearing, really want to free up the drivetrain. Will this help?

Thanks guys. Have any of you ever ran foams? I have a set, it sounds like fun to me for some quick practice laps.

We ran foams at one race in Las Vegas and the cars were so hooked up we were traction rolling. It was great fun, but the tires wore quickly. I ran the GQ

Thanks for the tire suggestion, I bought a pair of foams for my gt a while back and haven't used them yet, I think I'll through them on just for fun one day of practice. Have any of you guys ever ran foams on a gt car?
