Our pack/council rules state that "axle heads shall not include any feature intended to provide an interface with a tool".

Since we cannot slot the axle heads to adjust steer, I tried a plug n play body from DD4H and used a straight axle for the FDW. Along with his BASX wheels and speed axles we won our pack by a pretty wide margin. I could not be happier with the built in steer created by the angled hole for the FDW. I never officially tested how much steer there was, but it was a fair amount. Which I think helped on our track that has far from perfect transitions. Our car had serious wiggles last year and I'm now convinced it was due to not enough steer.

My question is this - do you guys adjust the amount of steer in your cars depending on what the track is going to be like? For example, more steer for the typical pack level track but less when racing on a pro setup.
