Looking forward to running the new kit.

Have to wait till mid next month to get the kit though :( as im heading overseas for a few weeks from next week.

Ari,

With the new arm mounts are you able to flip the mounts to change the toe from say 1.5 - 2 deg?

I took some photos of some of the new features and differences, I will post up some more soon.

Diff Bearing holders are now moulded and bulkheads are keyed to the holders

Diff is the 08 Style but now in a gunmetal anodising rather than machined look

Bulkhead now has screw that can be removed for more grip on low grip surfaces, bulkhead brace no longer screws to the chassis and is only a brace between the bulkheads

There were no new PHI'S at our track today :( I wanna see one as it looks like a weapon.

what stops the bearings from coming out of the front holders now?

been long time supporter of corally but must say great ideas but some changes look cheap...

At the moment they are a press fit... no clips like the alloy versions. Not 100% convinced this will work but we will see.

The RDX's bearings are inserted from the inside into the bearing holders. The bearing holders have a flange that stops the bearings from going all the way through. The inside width of the diff/spool/oneway assembly holds the bearings back from falling to the inside.

The new holders have the bearings going in from the outside so there is no ridge to hold them in as well as no clips, haven't run the car yet but as Ari has mentioned it may be an issue.

Oops! Gettin' old. Forgot about the stupid clips...OK, they're not stupid! ;)

I had problems in USA with the front bearings half coming out but im not to sure if this was just becuase of prototype parts but i will try proper production part and let you know how it goes, i will be running this weekend.

you can use the 1st PHI front bearing holders by the look
