Hi Baz
Just checking on tr1kerfozzy's progress and noticed your question. I have a Rocket and all Rockets and Sonics have ...
adjustable caster at the front, (top wish bone can be moved fore and aft about 15mm)
adjustable camber front and rear,
adjustable spring length front and rear,
adjustable bump and rebound front and rear,
adjustable toe at the front (obviously) but some have adjustable toe at the rear as well.
I have been improving my handeling over the summer - last year and I learnt loads about how it all affects the car. It's been a great car to learn on. I have also beae setting my corner weights over the winter and fitting an adjustable brake ballance bar. My next job is to check for any bump steer although I can't detect any on the road.
In short, the suspension on Rockets and Sonics is very adjustable and the car responds well to any changes made
Hope to see you as an owner one day
Cheers

The suspension is adjustable at the front, the rear is all from the R1 and hence is adjustable also.
The prototype tR1ke at RTR doesn't actually run, so nobody has driven one yet! However that didn't deter me one bit, they're going to be awesome playthings.

Lookout everybody!! I went to RTR this afternoon and my chassis had gone??!! To be powder coated!
Confirmed the delivery date 20th of March!! Shot the breeze with Luke a bit over some of the finer points surrounding the exhaust mounting and the wiring loom options. Trying to anticipate anything that may slow the build.
