I'm kinda confused about the wedge part myself... Looking at the pics it almost looks like the steering block is upside down but I'll wait to see more picks...

You really don't want to know...
I think Josh did a good job and I met Josh in seattle ( Raincity) and this guy is pretty sharp...I would replace knuckle with the Photon part ..imo

I'm sure Josh will come up with better and harder material for racer need..

I'll be at the track about 18 hours today and tomorrow. I'm here now, and just ran my first pack through the car with the kit setup. We've got VERY high grip carpet, and run Jaco Blues. I've got the car at 1425g to prepare for IIC.

Initial impressions are pretty good. It's got a lot less steering than my 416 did (almost using full D/R) but I think that's all setup. I did a few fast laps, and plenty of slow ones. There's definitely some setup work to be done now, but that's to be expected. The car felt extremely smooth. I'm gonna start throwing some setup stuff at it now and see what sticks.

I didn't hit anything, so I can't say much about durability yet. Nothing came loose, so that's a good start!

Anybody else doing carpet testing? I haven't seen a carpet setup passed around anywhere, so I'm kinda starting from scratch here.

Any tips on how to prevent the spool screws from backing out? It's kinda put a halt on my testing here.
