| Needed:2x turnbuckles from servo to steering 4x ball studs Hex wrench Pliers Screw driver
Method:1.remove front stiffener 2.put ballstud where screws originally were on steering posts 3.screw ballstud in extra hole on c hub 4.get long turnbuckle and join both bllstud from c hub and steering post 5.tune to your liking of the amount of caster you want (shortening the turnbuckle will pull the c hub and give u more caster, stretching the turnbuckle will loosen in and give you less caster) (to make it easier to understand)

| That's the easiest way if you want it to be adjustable.
If you want fixed caster, easiest way is to replace the pin that goes in your C-hub with a very hard wire or a piece from a coat hanger. Make that pin go through the suspension arm, through the C hub, and then make it sit ON the suspension arm, instead of making it going through again.
Great tutorial though, I thought it wouldn't be possible without drilling into something and adding a ball stud. |

| Hello Guys, I'm newbie here and drifting for a month. I think i will learn a lot from you guys if you elaborate more what the use of this mod. I know this mod is simple to apply on any kit but it will be better if you include also what is the advantage of this mod to ordinary setup. thanks! |

| Basically what castor does is that it shifts thebweight of the car into the turn giving you abut more slideability and it looks real aswell stock cars already come with castor c hubs but this is how to get more |

| You don't need a CS setup for it to work. You can use it with 50/50 too. CS drifters often preffer more than stock caster (stock cars usually have 4 degrees). They also get to "use" the caster more as they countersteer way more often then 50/50 drifters. In 50/50, you just countersteer for a second to correct a mistake, etc. |
