Jorgensen - No one that i know of has done this modification here in Oz. Sorry no info for you.

KIDTT01 - Well done champ, great results on your first outing. Lets see your setup Good luck in SA.

Shadow - Generaly i would say the car has a lot of steering, obviously depends on the track you run on too. The diff, probably one of the best diffs going around at the moment, no need for a thrust bearing as there is no screw that runs throught the two outdrives like all other diffs. The Corally diffs is held together with one of the outdrives having a threaded shaft. Not having a thrust race has increased time between rebuilds by at least 50%.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Regards
Ari

Below is a breakdown pic from the manual of the diff and how it goes together, as Ari mentioned it would be one of the easiest and quickest diffs to rebuild and stays incredibly smooth for a long time due to no thrust balls to get gritty as well as having 18 balls in the diff itself.

The only thing I have changed is putting ceramic diff balls in it as most people do in any tourer.

I have run several meetings in 17.5 and if anything it is smoother than when I built it now that it is run in

Default Spool questions

Hi Gents

Just wondering is the Corally website ordering email still in use?

Question: Ran the 36T delrin spool in the Phi 07 in practice the other night and it ate up both front blades after two packs through a 540 motor. Have had no wear problems with my Phi using one-way or ball diff. Is this normal or have I got something else wrong or is there an upgraded part to overcome this?

Other than this little mishap the Phi flies

Thanks in advance
Gerard

Hi Gerard, yes the email is still working, i have your email in my inbox, will reply on Monday when i get back to work.

Blades... yes they get chewed up pretty quickly with a spool, as you mentioned its ok with a one way as the drive isnt as harsh as a spool.

I ran the standard Phi spool with the 36T pulley and got far more use of the blades before replacing them.

My 36T delrin spool is fairly tight with new blades on the dogbones; so, I opened up the slots to eliminate the too tight feeling. Hopefully, that will add some life to my blades.

Hey everyone, i have just started running a PHI 07 in 17.5 here in Bendigo and it is awesome!!! I have a general question: Do the TRF shocks make a BIG difference in regards to performance? Do they look after tires better?

Hey Dave,

I find the TRF shocks to be a little bit more consistent across all conditions, especially on a slippery track.

Have you put a spool in the front yet, that makes a huge difference compared to the one way on the Bendigo track. I think my set up from the Vic titles on the Bendigo track is a few pages back.

The way to go is to try and get a hold of the Specialised RC lipo tray by Corally. Excellent weight balance with the offset design which balances the lipo side in the same way as the motor by hanging it out at the back of the tray.

Also it allows the use of the standard battery brace and posts without the need for spacing or modification and eliminates the possibility of tweak. Further to this it has holes so you can use the Corally screw on balance weights

Yes, this was the modification of the year for the original Phi about 12 months ago. I am still using it with SMC/TP5000 lipos. With 5000 packs I have about 2/10 more volts in the later part of the run which is a true advantage. The tray costs about $35 US.

just bought a new RDX Phi with new GTB and 3.5R, spektrum receiver and hitec digital servo... got it for a steel, otherwise don't think i would have got a Corally as i've never dealt with them... the more i read though, the more happy people i see.

Anyone drifting one of these? any advice on setup?
