Default Correct wheel caster for Wraith?

I installed a pair of Vanquish steering knuckles last night on my son's Wraith and I had to move the c-hub's one notch forward (neutral caster) so the steering rod wouldn't hit the servo.

The tires really dig into the ground when turning causing the truck to uncomfortably skip at full turn. I've noticed this even when it was all stock and the c-hubs where at positive caster.

Has anyone got this dialed in on their Wraith?

I'm thinking about putting a Vanquish TI steering rod on there and just going back to positive caster but I don't know if it would be much better or not.

if you have the stock steering linkage or even some aftermarket linkage you may have issues lining everything up while using the vanquish knuckles. I'd use the vanquish links, I do.

The Tie Rod will take a lot of punnishment, at least mine do, and the strong Ti will help deal with the damage and keep asking for more. I have the C hubs rotated all the way and keep the Tie rod as high as possible
