You did not specify truck or buggy and I'm guessing buggy since A-Main is out of stock of those.

All else fells my local hobby shop has them in stock, and they would match A-Main's price. No online ordering, call them over the phone.

Questions??

What is the difference between running the 3.5 toe block with 2 degrees of anti-squat and running the 3.0 toe block with 1 degree of ant-squat?

Anti squat has a different affect on rear grip than toe in does. Squat changes will also affect the cars handling through rough sections. I fun 2 deg antisquat 99.9% of the time. Less usually just slows the car down on corner speed and it just drives "different" in a way I dont like.

I'm having a nightmare of a time putting power down coming onto the straight and keeping the car running in a straight line. The car is pulling left consistently when putting the power down like torque steer in a FWD car.

Car coasts straight as an arrow so I know it's not a bad bearing on one side or anything like that. Where do I start reducing this? Anti-squat? Running the recommended setup straight outta the box.

Toe, I believe it's a total of 3 or 4 degrees with those on. Anti-squat are the shims that go under the front block on the rear A-arms.

Toe-in. Outboard toe-in to be exact, and it's compounded by the inboard toe-in of the hinge pin blocks. Stock kit toe-in is 3.5 degrees total.

cool thanks, I noticed that alot of the set-up sheets guys are using 0 degree rear hubs for both truck and buggy. Why are they opting to use that instead of what came with the kit which was .5

On high grip, tight tracks the 0 degree rear hubs frees up the car, more rotation and higher corner speed.

I see you are in Kenmore, which track do you race at? I can tell you at TRCR 0 degree hubs are the ticket.
