Hi..
I've notice on all of my RDX PHI that the rear toe is not equal side to side, and is actually about 1 - 1.5 out on the 1 side compaired to the other, for instance one will be 2 and the other side is 3 - 3.5, i've noticed this on all 3 of my cars, and i have spoken to my friends and they say theirs is the same. No matter what i do i cant get equal toe, even spacing the one side out, i have tried all new parts as well as a new bottom chassis and its the same. Can anyone offer any help?
Thanks Ya`All

also check rear uprights... they can also bend out in a big hit. Typically you will see less toe on that side, since the uprights bend out (uless they hit was from the rear). Check the hinge pin also since they do bend. and of course our favorite the rear couple clamp. You will see the obvious ones, but even a slight bend can mess with toe and they are hard to notice sometimes. A give away is a slight stress line near the rear mounting hole on the side.

I'm switching from brushed to brushless, and I was told that your spur and pinion ratio is different if your are running a brushed motor compared to a brushless. So if I was running a 100 tooth spur and a 29 tooth pinion while using a brushed motor, what spur and pinion would I have to use for a brushless motor? (I run stock if you need to know that)

And describe the track(s) you are running at? Foam or rubber?
And indicate how long you have been racing? What level?

Giantbill - The PHI on foams on carpet is one of the best cars out there. I dont think you need Josh's chassis unless you are racing on extremely high levels of traction. I would run the stock 2.9 mm chassis for most of the club racing you will be doing. Specialized RC has a chassis which is 3 mm thick but has different front and rear cutouts which make it a lot stiffer than the stock 2.9 mm chassis. The carbon fiber is different between the stock chassis and the SRC chassis as well, which also helps with the stiffness. I hope this helps.

i was going to go with the Losi Xcelorin system. I run on foam. I have been racing for 3 years. Not sure what level I am at. The track I run at is fairly small and tight. A 100 tooth spur and about a 29 tooth pinion give or take a couple teeth work well at my home track for a brushed motor.
