has anyone tried running the camber links with the small ball end like in Jeff's ride? does it provide more camber gain or something? also is he running toe out inboard? does it create less ackerman or something? i hope he (Jeff) posts the winning set-up (please)!

Nah the short ball studs do nothing for camber gain. They just put less stress on the shock tower, thus lessening the chance that the tower breaks at the camber link mounts. I know, because I run with Cuffs weekly and I've done the same thing.

I have Ertrachter's set up from the coraly website on my RDX at the moment but would like to gain quite a bit more rear traction. Currently its like a cross between drifting and racing. Any suggestions or even tried set ups for rubber tires on low bite carpet?

I just recieved my RDX in the mail yesterday and was very impressed with all the updates and goodies it seems to have.
I do need some body post nuts though , somehow they didn't make it in the box
. I really am not a big fan of the stock method of body mounts. I see in some other RDX photos there are some larger padded body mounts available other than these little plastic nut thingys and I'd like to find a set.
What do you guys preffer and where do I find them?
It also came with a servo already installed. It's an Airtronics 94157, I've never been a fan of Airtronics but would this servo be better than the Futaba 9351 I currently use?
One last question. There seems to be a ticking coming from the rear wheel hubs when I have the wheels off and I pull the belt to make the wheels go round. It doesn't happen at all when the wheels are on
...is this normal?

The parts used in the prototype seen on the pics are indeed not (yet) approved for production.
A lot of detail and finetuning and testing is still very much going on.
It has allready been said before, the current RDX can tangle with the best.

I will get you a measurement later on today.

The thrusts are 2 different sizes. The big hole goes on top if i remember right.
Thanks Jeff...

Yes, the thrust washers are different sizes.

This is the second straight race that we proved that this car is still very capable of winning. I won the Halloween classic and the US indoor champs against some of the highest competition this country has to offer. The car was very good at both races and hasnt let me down yet. I did run the new Tekin R1 speedo at cleveland and it ran very well. Ill be testing it in brushless mode this weekend.
As far as setup here u go. 60/40 trinity oil, 1.3 pistons, 33/24 springs, short down front link short up rear link. standard extensions in the rear. 1 degree rear toe. 4 degrees castor. second hole in in both towers. 2mil spacers on front arms
As kyle said i runn the short ballstuds on the front to reduce the breakage of towers. So far so good and it helps a ton. No performance gains by doing this.
Just want to thank robbie, jeff and the whole corally crew. We work together well at the track and it shows. Vegas was the first carpet race we lost in stock since snowbirds 2 years ago. That tells you alot about this car and the team.
