Rod Bender

Rod, Good advice. I can see now that tapping on the drive shaft end would have worked also. I saw that when I was working but was unsure since this was the first time I had done this on a Radical an...

Ok. Got it worked out. The metal tripod joint housing had surface rust and was stuck in the hub. I think the splines had rusted and fused to the hub side. I sprayed penetrating oil in the area in ...

@rjbender You are a true fabricator Rod! Thank you for the quick response. Can you post the dimensions and thickness of the material if you don’t mind. Thank you.

Got this from Phil on Facebook. Thought I would share. Back in the day we supplied quite a few 380hp V6 , it’s typical road spec V6 - it flatters to deceive , initial throttle openings are responsive...

Hallo Charley,Do you know how much is the new KIT? Thanks for your answer.

@rlm-dan Thanks, Dan. Your analysis makes sense, since it seems to me that the engine is running lean, at least after running a bit. I am out of town for a few weeks but I will follow your recommendat...

Thanks Don and apologies for not understanding correctly. The first thing I would be looking at is your throttle body set up, one of the Radical manuals (RSX?) details on setting up the bodies. It is ...

I had always driven race cars with a traditional manual/clutch, so I was a right foot braker. This summer I switched to a car with a SaDEV sequential and started learning to left foot brake. I'm sti...

@rjbender Hey Rod, I just noticed after enlarging the picture of the adjustable rod that it looks like you have an adapter on your jack stand for the car. Am I correct? If so, can you post the specs o...

I use the TPMS kit from TrailBrake.com. No leaks, 3 sets of sensors. I've incorporated the pressure and temp data into my AiM configurations, and send it via CAN to the ECUMaster PMU and MoTeC ECU. My...

@speedsmith @charleyhradicalsportscarregistry-com Wow. That's a real pearl of information! I've ALWAYS set my pedals up so that at maximum braking, the throttle was about level with the brake -- which...

@rjbender WOW!! I have a buddy who is a fabricator that I have raced with for many years. He truly builds some of the prettiest and perfectly engineered stuff. I have never seen anybody come close to ...

After picking up my SR1 last month, I've had it on track twice for some easy "get to know you" sessions. Love the car, but I'm still getting comfortable in the cockpit. Most notably, it was hard to ...

@rjbender Thank you Rod!!!! I really appreciate you taking the time out of your day to take this measurement. I looks like it will work perfectly. I have read so many of your posts over the last few m...

Very much agree with David on the TPMS sensors... We've had two demo cars with these fitted and only ever used it to "confirm" they are working... The only benefit I could see to these is if you are w...
