radical problems!!!! please help
« on: November 27, 2006, 10:16:00 AM »
One of my radicals is now failing to perform. It is drilled 4 1/2" pin to PAP with the CG at 90degrees (in palm). My specs in profile. I loved it the day i got it. Now with around only 30 games on it, it will simply not do ANYTHING, I threw it yesterday on a 37ft. sport shot and it would only move about 6-7 boards with me cranking it. I haven't touched the cover so its still in OOB.

My other radical has the pin below the ring with the CG at 50 degrees and i absolutly love it. (It's at 4000)

Does anyone have ANY suggestions??????????? Any and all will be appreciated!!

Give it a bath, then have the shop sand to 400 and bring it back to factory finish.

I've noticed that the Radical, even though a pearl, is an oil hog like a Scorchin. The Octane cover is new, so I'm still feeling it out.

That begs a question.  Has anyone tried Doc's Elixir on a Radical, and if so, what were the results?
