I haven't exactly been good about keeping track of caster blocks and just have them tossed in together and I did the same for rear blocks and mounts.

Is there a good way for me to determine what the values are?

For rear blocks, I have some that...

when i have a bunch of caster block or arm mounts to decipher, I don't worry about measuring them. I just compare them to one another.

pretty much for rc10 there are only a few options.

find an 1/8 rod more than a couple inches long and that...

Hello all,
It seems to be generally agreed that the long-arm Rc10 does best with 25 degrees of caster. Unfortunately, the 25 degree caster blocks are discontinued and hard to find. There's currrently one set on ebay, $30 shipped. Ouch.
What's the...

Nobody?
Maybe I'll just order the 30d blocks and see how they work for me.
Edit: Is there any way to get proper track with b4 casters and JC Racing wheels, or will I need new wheels?
I may just go ahead and try the Custom Works caster blocks....

Hello all,
I had my first failure today running my newly restored glod pan when a caster block broke. I did some looking and it looks like the car came with the 6213 15* blocks but doing more reading it looks like using the 6210 30* caster blocks...

Last post

I just took apart the broken parts and it looks like the caster blocks are in fact 15* when lined up with a protractor.

Cheers,
Jim

Just going through the bits for my car and noticed these are different.

Is this the difference between 15 and 30 degree? They look the same angle, but different heights.
If so, which is which?

Last post

but it's an injection molded part. :?:
Perhaps they come out of the mold as blanks, then the pin hole is added to establish the different caster angles?
Anyway, I've not seen this before.

Hi all,

I am confused, I just opened an old package out of my stash of 6210 caster blocks, see picture below. These caster blocks are no where near the 30 degrees. More like 0 degrees. Is this a known issue?

I also found black 6210s in online...

Thanks for the reply Elf,

Me personally I would prefer the angle of the actual part, but as the RC10 kickup was a constant of 30° I can understand that they label the true caster when it is installed. Now on a B4 (B6 ?) I believe you could change...

I tried the search feature, but I guess I was typing in the correct wording. I have a vintage gold tub running stock. 30* casters and I'd like to try out some 25* but can't seem to find any. I know I can use B4 blocks but which ones will give me 25*...
