These 1-piece caster blocks have 10 degrees of built in caster angle instead of the 13 degrees that the original Carisma Racing items have. A direct replacement for the kit items, no modifying, extra screws, washers or anything other than the original fixings are required.
An essential upgrade for the 4XS, these 10 degree C-hubs make the car much better to drive in nearly all conditions. The car changes direction quicker, lands jumps better and is less likely to go straight on when you apply the brakes.
These C-Hubs will give your 4XS 3 degrees less caster than the kit C-Hubs. If your 4XS has it’s suspension inserts in the middle position this will give you a total of caster angle of 22 degrees. The 4xs gives you adjustment of 2 degrees up and down on the Front Suspension Insert (FF) which offers a range between 20 and 24 degrees when using these caster blocks.
If you use the optional Thumbs Designs Suspension Mounts you get a much finer adjustment.
Just like the original Hubs the Roll center position can be quickly & easily adjusted by inserting different thickness of shims atop the caster block (between the block and the vertical ball stud).
These Nylon Caster blocks are SLS 3D Printed to a very high standard, they are similar in strength and rigidity to the original kit items proving incredibly durable during testing withstanding accidents that have resulted in broken wishbones and bent shock shafts on more than one occasion.
They are available in a variety of colours.
Optional 7 degree C-Hubs also available.
LESS CASTER: increases off power steering at corner entry, increases suspension efficiency,
decreases straight-line stability.
MORE CASTER: increases straight line stability, decreases off power steering at corner entry, makes the car more stable through bumpy track conditions.
