BEC Castor

This weekend my chassis is TOTALLY going to be rolling - there is no more delaying IT WILL BE DONE.

Only one thing stands in my way.....

How much castor to build into the front top bones?

Various guys Ive spoken to say "run quite a lot - around 6 - 7 degress or more for a BEC coz its so light"

What are you running? Whats the verdict? Any advice gratefully receieved!

The lighter the car the front the more caster and the lower the tyre pressures.

Thats what I had thought - any ideas about actual castor angle?

If you can manage to get 7 degrees without the balljoints running out of motion at full bump or full droop it would be a good place to start
