Also what type of tape do the HPI ream racers use to hold down the batts? I guess that they do that to save on weight?
Thanks

Take your time with the shimming and the drivetrain should be smooth.

if you were to say use 2 or 4 degree castor blocks.

how many millimetres of kickup would you need to get 3 degress of castor?

i'm new to this, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

In my experience with the Pro 4, adding kick-up increases front traction which translates into more overall steering. Not sure how much kick-up you'll need. I'm using .5mm of kick-up and 2* castor blacks for stock racing on carpet w/ foam tires. I'm considering going to 0* castor blocks to increase on-power steering. I guess the question is: what are you trying to achieve by reaching 3* of castor? Also, your set-up info. and track conditions would help others to help you.

I believe its every .5MM shim is equal to .75 degrees, same for the front or back end.
