| How much caster?
Guys, How much caster do you have? I moved the chub at the last position... is this good? I think that now, my steering rod is hitting the gearbox and the servo plate (if steering rod is placed above the steering arms). |

Drop the steering rod under the mounts I also used a spacer between the hubs and wheel for clearance on my steering link. Hang up and Drive Last edited by mikemcE; 03-15-2017 at 07:29 PM. |

| Re: How much caster? You can't run them 100% back, its one before that. You'll know its right when the steering clearings everything.

One more question ... I'm planning to clock the axle by putting longer rod ends to the upper links (traxxas 5525). Question is ... do I need to put on both sides on the upper link, or only one the one side? | |

| Re: How much caster? Try 1 short and 1 long rod end. If that doesn't give enough angle go with 2 long rod ends and trim to your spec if you need them shorter. I used 2 long and trimmed 1/4" off the front rod ends.
