Default How much castor is everyone using

How much castor are you guys running. Center, clocked all the way back in the stock slots or machining the c hubs to get one more back?

It really depends on how you have your motor sitting. If its sitting low, one back is a lot. But if you clock motor up, you need to machine an extra slot, just to get to same as if motor sits flat.

One more than stock works well for me. I redrilled the cases instead of messing with the c's..

I don't use any castor since it's a monunsaturated oil derived from the castor bean.

But I do set the caster set all the way to the rear. (Max caster).
