seaball.... October is a packed month this year. We have some drivers going to the Nitro Touring Worlds in Brazil, there is the Hobby Show in Chicago, then the Electric Worlds here in Florida. We would like to attend to get ready for Cleveland but we think we are pretty locked up right now.

Ray... it just depends on availability of the drivers. We will almost for sure be at the Warmup for the Champs the week before.

coupla questions
corallyusa,
1) how many different lengths of aluminum turnbuckles will come with the kit? which lengths?
2) what parts constitute a light weight differential (p/n 79174), and what will a budgetary cost be? (please post a pic if possible)
3) will the kit come with one light diff in the rear or will i have to buy two of them if i want a light double diff setup?
4) which c-hubs will come with the kit (2*,4*, or 6*)? did i read 2* will be standard?
5) what would be the appropriate assassin rear shock tower to use? 79244- low, or 79245 - std?
6) will any sway bars be included? which?
so far, i have put together a nice little spreadsheet with, what i would call, essential spares and tuning options. it totals $377 having estimated the cost for the diff.
i have made some assumptions that, hopefully, will prove incorrect.

yeah wyd,
i sorta went through this whole ordeal with the baracuda....and i can't get it to work very well. that is, simply, not an option this time around. though, i have little doubt that this car will be great at The Gate. the general design and layout appears to be very conducive to carpet "more steering please" racing. and, for the record, if i am accurate in predicting that i will have to purchase two light diffs, the total will be closer to $750 by the time shipping is accounted for.
if i pull the trigger here, i need to be very clear with what i am up against.
ray - yes, the results were positive. apparently, i AM your father.

i am undecided about the alex car at the moment. although, reading my own post makes the answer almost apparent, doesn't it?
i am an r&d guy at heart. i have some projects cooked up for the alex car that i would like to see come to fruition. the trouble with that car is that it really needs to have a 4x2 layout to work effectively for carpet/foam racing. the weight limit is so low, that you can't add enough weight to balance it with the standard side-x-side configuration. i wonder if that will be an issue with the rdx, as i do not see the batteries crossing the centerline of that chassis, either. i guess it depends how underweight that car will be....
and really, with the r2, the motor side should be heavier since the torque is lifting that side durring the accelleration phase. i do know that i do not have the resources to get accomplished what is in my head. that will likely combine with the above realization and result in my posting it f/s in the near future.
we'll see. i am still seeking some clarification.
all i know is that i do not want to use the tc3 this season. 
, but i also do not want to trade competency for individuality. seems like it's always one or the other. or maybe the answer lies deep in our pockets...

Hi friends. Greetgings from Malta.
I must say I'm impressed by the amount of help offered on this thread to Corally users by the Corally USA distributors.
My son and I don't race Corally touring cars, for reasons of business politics which I won't go into here, however we have used Corally motors and cells exclusively over the last 5 years and have always had help and support from Constant in Holland. Corally motors and cells have powered the Malta Champion for 4 of the last 5 years.
I really do feel that, with the RDX Corally have hit it right, and I am confident that Chris T, Sakke and Simo will be right up there with the top guys at the Worlds.
I sincerely hope so. Constant certainly deserves no less !
