    LW Output Shaft, Long:- Place a 1/4 x 3/8" ball bearing on the output shaft.- Insert the o-ring and place a diff washer.- Put some grease on the diff washer, but not too much.- Now place the pulley on the 1/4 x 3/8" ball bearing- Place the 3/32" balls in the pulley.- Place another 1/4 x 3/8" ball bearing onto the output shaft.

    LW Output Shaft, Short:- Place a 5x8 mm ball bearing in the output shaft.- Insert the o-ring and place a diff washer.- Assemble the thrust bearing together with some grease.- Put some grease on the diff washer, but not too much.- Place the thrust bearing assembly in the output shaft. One washer will fit in the output shaft.

    Now mount both output shafts together while holding the M7 nut and cone washer in place.

    The diff will be damaged if overtightened!See next page for adjusting the diff.

    Step 2

    Differential adjustment.The differential should be carefully adjusted by holding the M7 nut usinga 9 mm wrench. Overtightening the M7 nut might damage the bearings,balls and washers in the differential! To test for the correct adjustment,hold both output shafts and try to spin the pulley. If the pulley slips withoutusing extreme force, it means the diff is too loose and needs to betightened some more by turning the M7 nut.

    The differential should function smoothly.

    Hold the M7 nut inthe output shaft witha 9 mm wrench.

    Differential Adjustment

    The differential is an important componentof your car. So build and adjust it very carefully.

    The RDX Phi (#01618) has a rear differential and front one-way.

    The RDX Phi US Carpet Spec (#01619) comes withtwo differentials.

    Toe-out

    Toe-out:Increases turn-in steering a lot.But can make the car very nervous on the straight.More than 1 of front toe-out make the front even morenervous, so it's better not to use more than 1 toe-out.

    Toe-in:Stabilizes the car on the straight, and coming out of the corners.

    It smoothes out the steering response, making the car easier to drive.It can make the car turn in a little more in the middle andexit part of a corner.

    Toe-in:This is one of the most sensitive adjustments! One degree goesa long way. Stabilizes the car greatly. It makes the rear end"stick". The more toe-in you use, the more the rear of the car sticks. This becomes especially apparent going in and comingout of the corners.But more toe-in make more difference between sticking andbreaking loose. Large amount of toe-in (2.5... 3) scrub off a little speed on the straights.

    Toe-out:Rear toe-out is never used. It makes the rear of the car veryunstable.

    Your RDX Phi Touring Car comes with many possible geometry adjustments, shock adjustments,camber changes, etc. The standard setup in this manual is a good starting point to beginwith. For optimising your car's performance, improvements can be made with the followingtuning tips. Always make one step at a time, and see if there are any improvements or the

    performance is getting worse. On www.corally.com you can download the latest setupsheets from Team Corally to help you find a good setup.

    Front toe-in / toe-out:

    Setting toe-in of the front wishbones in the center of the car will make the suspension workbetter on bumpy conditions. Never use toe-out.

    Adjust for neutral feeling 0 toe. A slight amount of toe-out will increase the turn-in of the car but too much of it will make the car difficult to drive.[min. = -1 / max. = +1]

    Rear toe-in:

    Toe-in is set standard on 2 in the rear with the coupler clamps. To increase toe-in in the rear,

    use the rings of 0.4mm for 0.5 settings and 0.8mm for 1 settings.[min. 0 / max. 3]

    Camber:

    Camber is best set when the contact patches of the tires are is always as big as possible. So with astiff suspension and firm tires you'll need less camber than with soft suspension or tires with big,flexible sidewalls. If the tire wear evenly across their contact patches, the camber is about right. Wheusing camber on the front in combination with caster blocks something must be kept in mind. Caster will cause camber in the front when steering and the front will lift up.[min. 0 / max. 2]

    Camber Link Locations:

    The RDX Phi has a couple of camber-link locations. We recommend to start off by mounting thecamber links in 1 of the lower positions on the shocktower. This will give more camber-changewhile cornering, thus stability. The longer or higher the link, the more traction and less stability. Theshorter or lower the link, the less traction and greater stability.Long Link: A long link gives a lot of body roll in turns. It feels as if the body is willing to keep onrolling until it can't, but the springs prevent it from rolling any further.The car has more grip in corners, especially in the middle part. But if there already is a lot of traction,long camber links can slow down in turns.Short Link: A short link will make the chassis roll less. Its tendency to roll drops as it rolls.It feels as if the car generates a little less grip.More Parallel Link: A parallel link gives a little more roll than an angled one. It feels smooth,and consistant as the body rolls in turns.Angled Link: An angled link makes the car feel as if it has a tendency to center itself (level, no roll)

    other than through the spring or anti-roll bar. It will give more initial grip, steering into corners.It makes it very easy to "throw" the car. The body rolls a little less than with parallel links. It's possibleto use softer springs and a softer damping than with parallel links, without destabilising the car.

    Always keep an eye on the balance of the car; large differences in roll-center front versus rear willmake the car feel less consistant!

    Inner Hingepin Locations:

    It is possible to mount the wishbones on different heights to the bulkheads. This will change theroll-center of the car.

    Low mounting: The roll-center becomes lower, which generates more chassis-roll into thecorner.Higher mounting: The roll-center becomes higher, which generates less chassis-roll.Car changes quicker from direction, but less grip will be generated. Feels very stable.

    Front Caster:

    Caster can be very important to the handling of the car. Adding or removing caster can transformthe steering balance of a car. The total of Caster is degrees Kick-up + degrees Caster C-hub.More Caster: Will give stability, especially at high speeds. More Caster generally suits largehigh-speed open tracks.Less Caster: Will increase steering drastically. Steering feels more direct, so the car turns tighter and faster. Small amounts of caster are suitable for tight tracks.These settings can be arranged with the optional C-hubs and the inner hingepin settings.

    [min. 0 / 2 / 4 / max. 6]

    Front Kick-up and anti-dive:

    Refers to the angle in which the front suspension is mounted in relation to horizontal when looked frothe side of car. Kick-up and anti-dive are adjusted by changing the angle of the front wishbones,which can be done by the aluminium hingepin adjustment blocks. The setting of 0 kick-up will havemore aggressive steering feeling but will not absorb bumps well. The setting of 1.6 kick-up will workbetter in most conditions, especially in bumpy conditions. The anti-dive setting of 1.6 will give a veryaggressive steering feeling and will improve the front braking traction by entering corners. For lessagressive steering feeling a setting of 0.8 is also possible. It is necessary to use the optional coupleclamps (#79709) for the left and (#79710) for the right. When using anti-dive a differential must bused in the front. Use at least 2 caster C-hubs. Anti-dive will not work on bumpy conditions.

    Rear anti-squat:

    Describes the angle at which the rear suspension is mounted when looked sideways at the car.Generally more anti-squat make the car more sensitive by throttle input. The car has more steeringwhile braking (when diff is used), and also a little more powering out of the corners. Less anti-squatgives more side-bite, on-power and while braking. It feels easier to drive in low-grip situations.

    NEUTRAL STEERING

    Adjust the wheelbase by moving the white inner hingepin shims. A short wheelbase makes the car feel good in tight turns. Use a short wheelbase on very small and tight tracks. A longer wheelbasemakes the car feel a lot more stable, and better in wide, high-speed turns. Use a longer wheelbaseon wide open tracks. Moving the shims to the front of the front wishbones will shorten the wheelbaseand decrease rear traction and greater stability. Moving the shims to the rear of the front wishboneswill lengthen wheelbase and increase rear traction. Moving the shims to the front of the rear wishbonwill lengthen the wheelbase and decrease rear traction and greater stability. Moving the shims to therear of the rear wishbones will shorten the wheelbase and increase rear traction.

    Ackermann:

    This is a term describing the effect of the inner front wheel turning tighter than the outside front wheeThe perfect angle (no slip in theory) between the two front tires is called "the Ackermann angle".The angle can be varied by adjusting the steering linkages. The Ackermann setup works well in mostconditions and will provide a very smooth, predictable steering.

    Shock Springs:

    Try to keep your car level during acceleration, deceleration and cornering.Stiffer springs make the car feel more responsive, more direct. The car reacts faster to driver input.Stiff springs are suited for tight, high-traction tracks, which aren't too bumpy. Usually, when you stiffethe whole car, you lose a small amount of steering.

    Softer springs are better for bumpy and very large and open tracks. They can also make the car feelas sluggish and slow.

    Stiffer Front:The car has less front traction, and less steering. It's harder to get the car to turn, the turn radius isbigger and the car has a lot less steering exiting corners. On very high-grip tracks, if the track itself feels tacky or sticky, very stiff springs are the way to go.Softer Front:The car has more steering, especially in the middle part and the exit of the corner.Front springs that are too soft can make the car hook and spin.Stiffer Rear:The car has more steering, in the middle and exit of the turn. This is especially apparentin long, high-speed corners. But rear traction is reduced.Softer rear:The car has generally more rear traction, in turns as well through bumpy sections andwhile accelerating.

    Damping:

    Thicker oil (heavier damping) makes the car more stable, and makes it handle more smoothly.If damping is too heavy, traction could be lost in bumpy sections. The car will also change directionslower. Soft damping makes the car react quicker. Damping should always be adapted to thespring ratio; the suspension should never feel to "springy" or too slow.Heavier Front or Softer Rear: The turn radius is wider, but smoother. The car doesn't hook upsuddenly. The car is easier to drive, and high-speed steering feels very nice. Easy to drive.Softer Front or Heavier Rear: The steering reacts quicker. More and better low-speed steering

    Shock Pistons:The assumption is made that if pistons are changed, the viscosity of oil is also adapted, to give thesame static feel. (Same low-speed damping)Smaller holes (#79223) means more "pack". Pack means the damping gets very stiff, or almostlocks up, over sharp bumps. Small holes are good for smooth tracks.Bigger holes (#79224) mean less pack. The point at which the damping gets stiff (where theshock "packs up") occurs a lot later, at higher shock shaft speeds. Big holes are very good for bumpytracks. The car is more stable and has more traction in the bumpy sections. It won't be thrown up ovsharp bumps, the suspension will soak them up a lot better.

    Ride Height:This describes the height of the chassis in relation to the surface sitting on. This adjustment mustbe made with the chassis ready-to-run but with no body. By turning the spring adjustment nut thechassis can be raised or lowered. Start with about 6mm clearance between the chassis and ground.Try using a slightly lower ride height for high traction conditions as carpet racing. Do not use a rideheight lower than 4mm.Higher: The car feels better in bumpy sections. It can feel tippy, or even flip over in high-gripconditions.Lower: The car feels more direct, and it can potentially corner a bit faster. It's also harder to flip the car over. Lowering one end of the car, or putting the other end higher up, gives a littlemore grip at the lowest end, but try to avoid big differences in ride height between the front and therear.

    Anti-Roll Bars:

    Before using anti-roll bars first try to play with the droop settings. Anti-roll bars can be used to stabiliza car from excessive roll (which occurs when your car leans through the turns by centrifugal force).

    Anti-roll bars are generally used on smooth, high traction track conditions. If the conditions are verybumpy, then anti-roll bars are probably not necessary. If you are driving on a high traction surface anyour car wants to oversteer, then use the optional #79913 (soft), #79915 (medium) anti-roll bar or #79917 (hard) on the front only. This will decrease the front chassis roll and decrease steeringthroughout the corner. This has the feeling of increasing rear traction. If your car is understeering,then try the optional #79912 (soft), #79914 (medium) anti-roll bar or #79916 (hard) anti-roll bar on the rear only. The rear anti-roll bar will decrease rear chassis roll and decrease rear traction (thishas the feeling of increasing steering).

    Downstops (droop-setting):

    When the Wishbones have a lot of droop the chassis is free to roll in turns. The center of gravityof the car won't change much. Chassis rolls around its roll-center. But if the wishbones almost haveno droop the chassis will be pulled down as it rolls. It cannot roll anymore around its roll-center,because the chassis will become one-piece with the wishbone as it rolls. Then the center of gravitywill become lower.

    Front:- Less droop makes the car smoother in the middle of a corner and gives more steering under acceleration. Sometimes too little droop makes a car difficult to accelerate out from corners.- More droop gives more steering response in the middle of a corner and makes the car push on throttle.

    Rear:- Less droop makes the rear more stable to the corner and gives less grip in the middle and out of the corner. Less droop will heat up tires more.- More droop reduces rear grip into the corner, but rear tires stay cooler and the car works more stable through your heat.

    Before using anti-roll bars, the droop-setting is a better option first to play with. The wishbones arealready prepared for using downstops. See the instructions on page 7 for installing the M3x12set screws which are required for adjusting the droop. The adjustment of left and right should be thesame. But don't use your downstops for lowering your chassis, because this isn't the way to do so.This must be done by the spring adjustment of your dampers.

    Front Drive:

    - Ball Differential (#79690) can be adjusted for tightness (and slippage), so it makes them veryversatile. By adjusting the front diff a little tighter, some more understeer will be experienced. Butthere will be a little more steering and traction exiting the corner. It feels more stable. When tightenthe rear diff, the rear of the car will become easier to break loose. But adjusting the diffs is not reallya good solution to solve the problem of under/oversteer balance.- One-way (#79667) contains two one-way bearings; one for each wheel. It acts like a diff in onlythe forward direction. The front wheels can only turn faster than the rear wheels, but not slower. Leftand right wheel can rotate independantly from each other, when power off entering a corner. This willgive slightly more steering, so the corner can be taken faster. With a one-way front diff there will beno front braking, no differential action off power, high cornering speed, and excellent acceleration outof the corner. On really high-grip, open tracks with smooth, flowing high speed corners it is a one tohave thing. So it comes standard in this kit.

    - Spool (#79655) is like a fully locked diff but has no moving parts. It's super-solid with noadjustments. Because there's no differential action at all, a lot of speed is scrubbed off in corners. A spool at the front will make the car very hard to turn in. But gives stability under acceleration anddeceleration. A spool at the rear will give a lot of steering.

    Shock position:

    The RDX Phi allows 3 front and 4 rear top fixing positions for the shock absorbers.More Inclined: Has a more progressive smoother feel. More lateral grip. Having all shocks inclinedmakes the car very easy to drive, and it feels like the car has more grip, but it's not always fast...Less Inclined (more vertical): More direct feel. Less lateral grip. (site-bite)Front more inclined than rear: Steering feels very smooth. A little more mid-corner steering.

    Mounting the rear shocks very much upright can result in the rear end feeling unpredictable. It alsomakes the rear end jitter in turns.Rear more inclined than front: Feels agressive turning in, but for most of time the car hasa little less steering. The car has a lot of side traction in the rear, and the turn radius isn't very tight.

    Wishbones:

    It's possible to use different kind of Wishbones:Medium 5 : Front (#79040) - Rear (#79050)Hard 35 : Front (#79060) - Rear (#79070)X-Hard 80 : Front (#79080) - Short (#79090)Duraluminium : Front and Rear (#79108)Softer Wishbones can add a little more grip because they flex a bit more.Harder Wishbones can be used if there is plenty of traction but suspension setup will be moreimportant. Suspension setup feels better and more consistent.

    Tires & Inserts:

    All these possibilities cannot be fully exploited if the car does not run on quality wheels. Tires andinserts are two of the most influential changes you can make to your car. The Corally RDX Phi kitcomes without tires and wheels. There's a variety of wheels, inserts and tires available. Which oneis the best for you depends on the different weather or track conditions as well as local rules whencompeting in championships.

    Tire Additives:

    Corally tire additives come in a large can (150ml) complete with brush for easy application.TC-1: Classic formula for use on foam tires on carpet tracks.TC-2: JACK THE GRIPPER is odorless and EFRA legal. This is the most populair choice for use onrubber and foam tires on any surface.TC-3: Formulated for outdoor use.TC-4: CARPET JACK is upgraded Jack The Gripper specially formulated to provide maximum gripfor rubber tires on carpet tracks - odorless.

    - TC-1 (#13788) Formulated for foam tires on carpet- TC-2 (#13779) Jack the Gripper (Minimum Odor)

    - TC-3 (#13789) Unpleasant Smell, Maximum Traction- TC-4 (#13790) Carpet Jack

    Setup Sheet:

    There's a setup sheet included in this manual. Set up your RDX Phi with the standard settings at rightthen deviate from them in response to your track conditions and driving style, as noted below.

    For best result, make only one setup change at a time, testing it before making another change. Makea copy of the setup sheet included in this manual to help keep track of your changes. Before makeany changes to standard setting, make sure you can get around the track without crashing. None of

    your setup changes will work if you cannot stay on the track. Your goal is consistent laptimes.Inconsistent lap times may indicate poor control. When you have consistent lap times, then makechanges to your car. If the change results in a faster lap, then mark the change in your setup sheet.If performance is worse, then revert to previous setup and try another change. Fill out your setupsheet thoroughly when you are satisfied with it and file it away. It can be a practical guide for futuretrack lay-outs and conditions you encounter. Always keep in mind that your car stays in balance. Toomuch difference in front and rear setup can make the car feel unpredictable.

    We at Team Corally wish you best luck and see you at the track!
