I just picked up my Rev 3 for this season and a pack of the LRC cones and noticed that the difference between the stock cones and the LRC cones is approximately 0.30"- 0.040".

I figure this because there are two washers on the each of the two screws that bolt the center pivot to the chassis. When installing the low roll center cones I was told to remove those washers on both screws to get the rear pod to sit flush with the chassis.

I figure I will try to the stock cones first and then try it with the low roll cones once I get the car handling for my driving style.

I have also been told that the LRC cones give the car more rear traction in the middle of the turn. I haven't tried yet as I'm still getting my car wired up and setup for it's maiden voyage.

If any of you racers with some expeience with the Rev 3 feel diffrently please correct me as I'm going on someone else's feedback.

P.S. Does anyone know of where to find a good countersink bit for 4-40 flat head screws. The Rev 3 requires that you drill the holes yourself for the servo mounts and I would like to do a good job on the countersinking.
