Question about spare hubs/knuckles that came with my hpi S2D

[cedz]

Hey all...new to the forum. I have a question about some spare parts that came with my HPI Sprint 2 D. Currently up front the C Hub measures in at 6 degrees, and out back the hub set measures 3 degrees. The kit came with two optional hub sets measuring at 4 and 2 degrees respectively. What is this degree a measurement of? Toe? Oh and before I get bashed for this question, remember there are no such things as stupid questions...only stupid people Thanks in advance. Cedz

Its for caster..

ahhh of course...thank you. but doesn't the caster setting only affect the front wheels? why then would you need a different degree hub in the rear? also, what are the advantages of running more caster. I see most guys in the forum are running 7 degrees and up, while some are as low as 4 degrees and lower...sounds like a big difference to me. is it just personal preference, or perhaps something more.........

With more caster you get the realistic look of the inner wheel gaining positive camber and the outer wheel gaining more camber in a drift.

Thanks alot. What about the rear hubs?
