Clearly the RDX is capable of competing at all levels in its current form. So, please don't take this is as criticism, it's simply a wish list of things I'd like to see. Feel free to chime in with your own ideas. Corally seems to listen to the feedback they get from racers at all levels, which is totally cool.
Wish List
1. Stronger arms (in progress)
2. Shortened shock shafts for use with lowered front tower
3. New bulkheads with "easy access" to the diffs and layshaft. This is the only thing about the T2 I truly envy. (Convenience only)
4. Longer kingpin screws for the front steering blocks.
5. Color coded springs (I know, that's a lame one)
6. Some method of protecting the diff pulley from rear impacts. The retaining rings shatter nicely when hit just right.
7. A bulkhead to move the motor closer to the center of the car. Possibly combined with #3.
Anti-Wish List
1. Any kind of "multi-flex" stuff that's heralded as the One True Thing(tm). (Unless it's marketed as "multi-tweak" and clearly intended as a joke.)

bulkhead
there is currently a new rear bulkhead available that moves the motor in closer to center but requires the chassis to be milled out. Perhaps Jeff Brown can update on chassis that are already milled.

The Corally International website is indicating that the new arms are now available, as well as the other hopups recently announced. Hopefully they're on their way, huh? :-)
"All new RDX wishbones are now available in addition to the existing range of wishbones."

Hey Jeff,
Is there any possibility that any of these newfangled gizmos (beefy arms, xlong extenders, ect) will be brought to the nats and available for purchase?

If they were to produce the "easy access" bulkheads they'd make a mint we'd ALL need to have them, you just know it !!If there RD department were to pick this up they could cancel this yrs work it's all on there
i'd be SO happy with that little lot

Regarding the new bulkhead that moves the motor in closer to the center line of the chassas....does anyone know if it is made out of the same duraluminum are the rest of the stock aluminum components or is it normal aluminum? Not sure if there is even a difference between stock Corally Aluminum parts and regular aluminum other than the color.
Is it the same shade of grey as the rest of the stock components?

than can be done already. i used hex screws on the roll blocks, and a ball driver can reach them that way...

ok, how much do i need to take off the shock shaft to run the lowered tower??
I tried the associated spirng retainers, no good...
Running the stock tower at the moment.
Also, I have ordered some tamiya pistons, but could i just make my own from the stock corally piston? What is the hole dia that I would need.
