Really interested in the race report from the CGM this weekend! I am running the SSG currently and liked it on pavement last summer. Will be attending the Nats in Portland this summer and am starting to plan for what I am going to run. The CGM looks like a great kit and if it is anything like the tc3 will be great on all surfaces I bet.
Can't wait for thoughts on the car...lol

I'm also going to the Nats in Portland, probably to run Stock or 19T. I think the big question is what chassis to run. Supposedly the CGM will be used for the 2004 Worlds, and so should (hopefully
) work well outdoors. At the Region 11 race I ran the SSG and it worked well, so who knows? What I'm most looking forward to from the CGM is no more of tweak problems! At the Region 11 race, literally every run I had to de-tweak the car. There was plenty of time to do so, but it's still a hassle. I sure hope they decide to use a spec tire for the Nats.
Does anyone know if the parts in the CGM conversion will be sold separately (example: just the tub, or just the steering) to purchase as spares?

You ask about where I get my Corally bits from.
If you look in the Corally website you will see:
Importers for UK. Model Tech. That's Mike Smith.
Importers for Malta. John Bull. That's me.
I know Mike. Very knowledgeable. But I buy direct from the factory. However, when we race in UK Mike always offers to help us with any Corally stuff we may not have with us.
Both my son and I run Corally motors and cells exclusively in our cars.

I just got an SD and have ran it for a few packs. Mine is pretty much bonestock, and I noticed that the main shaft is not running straight at all. Was there ever an issue with the original main shaft not running true? Will changing to the Aluminum Suzuki drives solve this?

I'm sure the shaft aren't bent; and the cups are seated right. I actually tried rebuilding and moving things around and it still wobbles about 1mm when you look at it top view. I also changed the input shafts with the Tobee ones and it still does not look right when it rotates. Although I don't think the wobbling will affect handling in stock... I'm just curious if other SD owners are experiencing this?!? This is my first car with a 3 piece shaft... my EvoIII looks straight from the start probably because it uses a 1 pc shaft design.

Got my CGM today, but didn't have time to build it, there are a few things that I'm going to "fix" on my mill before I run it. The parts fit is definately great, everything basically snaps together it seems like, then the screws just keep it in place.
If any CGM owners have a problem with their steering linkage binding, send me a PM, it did it on 3 of the 4 CGM's at the track today, and I found the fix for the problem, did it successfully on 2 cars.

I'm not 100% sure what the cause is.
One possible problem is chassis tweak - if there's a bend in the chassis, the shaft wobble looks worse. So I would check that the chassis is dead straight.
I also think I may have a slightly off moulding in one of my joint cups.

Yeah, the O-rings are all there... I'll be racing today and see if the car just needs more break in. But I really doubt it if the wobble will affect the handling. Hopefully not...

Hi Guys,
Just a note on the CGM car kits, it is full graphite components (suspension and chassis). While the conversion kit is graphite on the conversion components (chassis, braces, shock towers).
