Harsh, Jeff, shushi Brian and company . . . what diameter turning radius you end up with when running foam on carpet? With what ever radius you use to race is there "room" to turn up your epa's or DR to get the wheels to turn further or are you running at max? just curious

Hi I am trying to help out a fellow racer with his RDX and would like to ask you guys what the WT of the shock oil that came with the kit is? I think it says medium on the bottle. Another thing he is wondering is how the droop should be measured (numbers in the 6mm range or according to the instructions). In fact what he really needs is a good starting setup for low grip tarmac/asphalt using rubber tires, so if anyone could help that would be great.
Regards,
Emil

Thanks for the input./ I think I am like you in that I want to have more sttering than I need available and then only use what I need. Are you using one of the generally accepted setups from corally's site for foam/carpet? Sorry about the mispelling also.

Ride Height
I have just finished building my RDX and I noticed that I can't seem to get anything under 6mm ride height in the front of the chassis. I have the lowered shock tower in the front and even with some old short tires the ride height seems too high. Any tips?

How much do you cut off of each shaft and eyelet?
