Somehow my bushing fell out and I only noticed it while I was going 40+mph, how Iām not in the hospital is beyond me, I went back through and couldnāt find it. No idea how it happened but itās a good excuse to get the Lacroix bushing adapter.

You need the longer bolts too, those shorties wonāt keep lacroix adapters in either
Yeah, the radium ones come with them

I can confirm, you will NOT be losing a shockblock with the riptide adapters and the riptide blocks feel fantastic.

Been curious about trying riptide blocks in my matrix 2s in case anyone has some theyāre not using and wants to unloadā¦
Youāll need adaptors to do so properly. Got mine from Radium Performance.

Yeah definitely. It just kills me that they donāt sell the damn bushings to go with the adaptors theyāre meant for.

I bought the blocks directly from riptide. Their US shipping is the cheapest of any vendor Iāve seen.

It is 100% the fact that I have to place 2 separate orders from 2 companies just to try one upgrade that irks me.

Going from memory, the Radium bolts will be too long for the 3ds hangers. I seem to think that the Lacroix bolts are the perfect length for the 3ds hanger/radium adapter/RT bushing.
Since everyone is talking about these things, I decided to post pictures from my recent RT bushing conversion.
I can confirm that these bushings totally transform the MBS Matrix trucks. The angular profile of the RT bushings have a really nice progressive feel. Soft in the middle but progressively firm towards the outside. Such a nice feel.

Interesting, can anyone confirm this, I already placed an order with radium so I might have to edit it if they donāt fit, looking at the Radium bolts and the Lacroix bolts online, they definitely look a lot longer.
@JeffyJ Ditto. Several SRB racing legends have run me through the basic mechanics, the advantages, adjustment caveats, and tips to dial in the last 5% of performance youād only need on a track.
Doesnāt register. I just need to feel it out.
What did you mean by āradius rodā? The spacer between the two motor mounts that keeps them parellel to each other and hopefully perpendicular to the axle?
