Well i think they are doing it more for adjusting width depending on which toe block they are using. More toe is a narrower width. I believe the wider your car is you lose a little bit of grip for the trade off of the stability. Im trying to think back to when i was racing a 22. It also makes the car slower to rotate the wider it is. Its all a trade off.
Of coarse these were a lot more noticeable on the 22 i imagine and the b4 is a completely different animal so results could vary.

Things you will change with rear track width adjustments.
1. Width
2. Effective spring rate and dampning
3. Camber gain
4. Wheelbase (albeit miniscule and dependant on toe)

When you adjust rear toe you are effecting your width and wheel base which is what i was trying to explain. Im running a 2.5 block as of recent due to some other changes and is what sparked the extra interest in Wild Cherries talk of shims under the hex.

Adjusting rear toe at the hub makes a very minimal wheelbase change; I highly doubt it would be noticeable on the track.
Obviously if you change the toe block it's going to noticeably change the wheelbase.

So I was out in my man cave working on my b4. And I had a genius idea to move my esc center line for giggles this weekend. So I rewired my motor leads and soldered them up. After reconnecting my motor, I preceded to make sure it was all hooked up well and power up my buggy and gave it a little gas...... Then I immediately heard a thud......and the result is below. So I am no longer racing this weekend. As my motor is in pieces. Anyone ever wondered what an exploding rotor looks like? Bam. And it was never run over 130 deg. Anyone wanna bet my viper esc is dead? Anyone think my slator or sensor can be salvaged? I am not sure i can get all the tiny rotor pieces out of the slator.....yippy.
