How come no one is answering the ackerman question? The manual lays it out nicely for the dual crank steering. What are the ranges for the center post? I would like to know before I change mine over.

the corally site says the steering system "allows the option of mounting the center steering system for more Ackerman."
I thought the most aggressive setting with the "old" steering system allowed for full ackerman (both wheels equal at turning radius)....not too sure though??

So, I'm a little skeptical about this new chassis. It's only 2.4mm, and I guess the stiffening plate is intended to make it suitable for carpet racing. But what about those of us using foams on carpet? I haven't seen this chassis on any of the cars from the IIC, so how much testing did it get, exactly, with foam tires? Haven't we learned from XRay's Multi-Sux(tm) debacle that adjustable flex is lame for foam racers?
Does this nose-heavy car really need more weight up front? I know the plate is light, but still... Foam racers generally don't need that crap.
Sorry to speculate, maybe someone in the know can educate us?

I think it must be the carpet at Mikes because by all accounts the setups posted on the Corally site ought to get me in the ball park.

Maybe since they already have a proven carpet car, they are now making a thinner more flexible asphault version

Are you Kidding? Back to Back National titles is not good enough for you. What other car has beaten Paul Lemieux. Now Toso just needs a asphalt car and he will dominate carpet and asphalt.

I hope they develop one car with the ability to be tuned for all kinds of racing, like they've got now. I hope they do that without compromises like goofy flex adjusting, otherwise I'm going to toss my "why compromise" towel in the trash. Developing a car strictly for one type of racing is asinine, and will alienate their customer base that doesn't car about said style of racing. I'm hopeful that Corally won't do that. Maybe there's more to come. Maybe a 2.4mm chassis with an extra plate with be more than stiff enough for the kind of racing we do. Yea, that's it.

I had 1.1mm pistons in both my foam and rubber tire cars in Vegas. Similar to a #2 piston from AE.

Ah, interesting, thanks for letting us know. I'll pick up a pair on my next order and give them a try.
Did you guys use many of the updated parts (like the new arms, rear hubs, etc, topdeck) in Veags? Learn anything from it? I'm guessing the low traction made it hard to really get a good feel about how that stuff work work in more standard conditions for a large event.

The Tamiya pistons though do not fit the Corally shock bodies perfectly so there is blowby between the shock body. They are probably really similar. Of course we want to stop people from using Tamiya pistons. haha. Corally does not make them.
