Thanks to Charlie, David and Rod. My TPS has some numbers on it so I'll see if I can find a new one with those numbers. Might not be like yours since my wires are Red, Yellow, and Green. Trying to get...

@speedstarincdjb Hi Don. I have a recent story to tell about TPS which might be relevant; I assure you I do not mean to hijack your interesting thread. I was at the Radical Cup Sebring official te...

@rjbender Hi Rod. Yes, and your way makes sense. On the main wing, lowest down force would be the 4th from the bottom. "From the bottom" is specified in the user manual setup sheet, and I have int...

The Handling Guide has this to say about aero adjustments: This is a very brief description, but that is basically all there is to it. To determine whether a change has helped or hurt, one can ana...

My perspective is just for SR3. TL;DR: hole 3 from the bottom on the main wing, 6 from the bottom on the subwing, and no diveplanes on the nose. Very few race teams/drivers will run dive planes on...

Hi Rod @rjbender, to the best of my knowledge an aero chart does not exist for these cars… I have asked. Regarding adjustments to the main wing. I have been told by Radical Set up experts that it is...

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...
