i dont have a rustler but that seems right it is probably just the degree on the caster blocks and hub carriers

So this might just be an adjustment?? Dont mean to sound like an idiot but I guess I am ignorant to this truck

yes you want it like that for dirt running. It makes the rear end spin and not bind. It helps turning at low speed. High speed or oval racing a O degree block mount. I have both and i like them on my Rc10GT. ITs normal though and nothing is weird! BTW if you measure the angle on your MT in the rear it should have about 3 degrees of camber!

Exactly what GT Power said. I run on a dirt track and the original setup works great. Without it my rusty probably wouldn't go anywhere in a hurry. It definitely does look funny at first though.
