i am using the Pro4 spring perches..
thrust bearing shredded before finishing the car.. now using the XRAY ones.. better quality.. Corally has upgrades??
anyone got problem with wheels(foams) rubbing spring perches.?? meaning a lot less dual rate on the radio.. can only run approx. 85% with a helios? supposedly the car will steer, and you wont need to run more dual rate anyways..

Tech Apprentice
Jeff,
Simmilar results, I have clearance at 75% EPA with 100% dual rate, but have never needed more than 50% to have too much steering. I was answering Arvin, who was concerned about throw.
On the tyre issue, I have Parma on the car now with the stock tow out shims on the back, and I think I may be over 190mm, but it might squeeze into a tech box. Probabl;y the offset.

ukeejim....... ok just checking.
Raul...... if your thrusts are bad and you have copper colored ones then you probably cranked them down too tight. It is a very sensitive adjustment and is easier to fine tune once it is in the car. They aren't like other diffs that you crank down, then back off a half turn. Hope this helps.

Mi2, Pro4, 415 and now the RDX within a five month period, wow
With only 3 more touring cars to go, TC4, xray and the new Losi, I'll give about a 2 months before you own one of the remaining three, give them hell at the Nationals

Dawgmeat,
Yes, Raul has been through many kits as of late , but I do believe he has found the glove that fits. After seeing him run last night I do not think there is a need to try the other two kits. LOL

the RDX experience
i finally had a chance to spend some time with the car on the track. i'm pretty impressed with how incredibly smooth and quiet the car is, all i hear is the whisping sound of the motor and the shredding of foam on carpet, virtually no transmission sound at all.
also with just less than a 1/2 dozen packs run throught the car, i've already managed to turn very competitive lap times. this car is fast and it doesn't appear that you have to over-drive it to achieve speed. on the track it's so smooth that it looks like it's going slow......does that make sense?
just an observation

If you want a thincker chassis get the 4MM unit made by BMI. They are available from Corally (BMI will only sell them to Corally).
