See, I hadn't gotten to my shocks yet, so eventhough I was very suspicious, I was going to let him go. Air filled shocks work, just not very well!

Gotta watch those pre-built parts!

I was also under the impression that rebound is good, as long as you tune for the same rebound on all shocks.

I was always under the impression that you wanted rebound too. When I built the Corally shocks for the first time, I kept rebuilding them trying to get rebound...needless to say I never was able to get them to rebound so i left them as they were.
I feel much better knowing that the shocks are not supposed to have rebound.

Default shocks

Here in Europe every body is building there shocks with a little bit of rebound.
it gifs your car more respons. When the grip is verry low I build my shocks with less rebound this gifs a litle more grip, but your car reacts slower. And doesn't take bumps that wel.

Just what I think of it...

I'm still using the torx. By design they are superior, they are less likely to strip, and the tools will have better grip in the screws. The included torx driver actually works very well. Its a size t-10.

Yep

I'm working on a low to medium bite rubber/carpet setup, and once I feel that it is "dialed", I'll post it. I got the car very good this past tuesday, and for my first time on rubber tires in well over a year, I felt good about how it went.

To you guys that have been running the car for a while - have you seen a need for any thread lock anywhere?

Incase anyone is interested, I've posted a gallery from the Reedy Race that include a few of the factory drivers cars from Corally.

Just to be safe I use BLUE Loctite on all screws that went in to metal.

The torx are great in that you should never strip one out, however, if you use some 2.0mm flat heads in the RC blocks, you can use a ball end wrench and get to them WITHOUT removing the bulkheads, which is nice. I also use them for the front CF bumper piece, so I can easily remove them with the nuts for the camber link in the way.
