Caster and ackerman are two different things. Ackerman is the difference of the steering angle between the inside and outside wheel. The inside wheel always has to make a smaller circle, so it must turn a bit tighter. The adjustment for ackerman is made by moving the ballstuds on the steering rack.

You're gonna love it!
Depending on your track the kit set-up is pretty good!

Make your own, they were cutting up a rear t-plate and using that prior to the release of this.

if you have an old battery strap just use that, that's what I did and it works great leave a little room towards the shock tower to run the wires behind and under the speed control

From what I have been told a car cannot be DESIGNED around a shorty pack per ROAR rules. The B4.2 is designed around a full sized pack, if you choose to place the esc in the battery tray that is a personal modification.
