Brian is right...... the reason we cut the shaft and eyelet is to allow the piston to ride back in the correct area inside the shock. The only other way would be to cut the shock bodies. I have a pair that have been turned down 2mm but have not tried them.

the "fast guys" at our track are running 10.5's-10.9 sec laps and my second time out with this car - i was running consistent 10.8's - and i haven't even got the setup down.
i still need some more off power steering though - we have a couple of hair pin turns that i die as i am entering the corner, i am great coming out of it, but coming into the corner it doesn't roll as much as i would like. i will have to look at my setup to tell ya'll exactly what i am running, but basically it is dayger's setup with couple of tweeks.
anywho....i love the RDX....thanks for all the help guys....

I ended up with 1mm of up travel in the front and 1.5mm in the rear. You could increase the front droop to let it roll more if need. I have run more up travel in the front compared to the rear on setups sometimes.

53 mm is way too small. You should start at 57-58 mm (Parma, Jaco, TRC). As far as lowest you can go...I'd imagine ~54 mm is the limit...but the car won't be fast with that size tire.

53 mm for practice doesn't do you any good. There is no foam on the tire and it has a huge impact on how the car will handle...usually it will push all around. I usually practice with 55-56 mm tires and throw 57 mm on for the start of a club race day.

yeah !! 
i know is small but i cant afford foam just like that !! its litle expensive 50$ for 4 tire and there over after 3 or 4 race !!
anyways !! im not a profesionel so !! 53 mm for praticing is good for me! my 59 mm tire are for racing day! cant use them to pratice hehe!!
Later!!
Thx guys for the answer

Are you hooked or what Marc? I saw you didnt race the main so I was wondering what happened. The new layout for the TSC is almost finished. It looks "tight".

my last qualifier i dropped my droop to 4mm all the way around and that seemed to help some. i had no up travel, so i might even try a little more.

When I say 4mm of droop we refer to uptravel. Hopefully you are not running 4mm of up travel. The car would massively push.

At the moment i have the shortest wheel base and i was wondering what would happen if i left the rear as it was and pushed the front arms all the way? so the wheel base was longer?
Thanks,
Will

Does anyone know where I might score a pair of Duraluminum knuckles pretty quickly? I ran my RDX for the 1st timw this weekend and it was fantastic except that if I tapped the board on the high speed sweepers it would break the plastic knuckle.
Thanks for any help.
Thanks for any help.
