Hey All. Just wanted to check in on the RB6. Are you guys having as much luck with it as the RB5? I would like to get one but I run stock 17.5 blinky at my track and some feel the RB6 is too heavy for this class. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

So I really want to use the aluminum battery holddowns for this car but how can you mount them in it?

I've been running mine in 17.5 blinky for 2 months now and I absolutely love it. The weight doesn't seem to be a hindrance IMO though logic says it should but I even run a full stick pack instead of a shorty. My lap times are right there with guys running B4s, 22s, and RB5s. (Though my own consistency isn't ) run both tight and open indoor tracks and had a few runs outdoors too. I just love my RB6 that's all I need to say

I think for example last night in the stock 17.5 blinky class at my track the RB6 went 1, 2 and 3. That should say something.

just wondering can you still use a full size battery pack in mid motor for a rb6 like the dex210?

Ideally no. Because the esc then has to be stuck on top of the battery or somewhere in the sides. Saddles or shorty will be my choice if I decide to go mid motor.

I am almost positive the answer is no but someone else can chime in for sure.

Thx man. Been running the 55s front and rear but drilled some 55s from K blanks. I like the 2 hole 1.6 rear with 25wt a little better than the 4 hole and 30wt front with the 55s. I just chamferd each side of a 6 hole K piston, glued it, and drilled the last 2 to a 1.6mm.

@davespeed

You can, it's perfectly possible. I would recommend saddles though, since you get more front with those (i'm using the full size bat, and i'm changing to saddles), and you get a prettier "deck", i.e., ESC behind the saddles etc...

The 3 top fast stock guys at West Coast RC run RB6's. LBCKevins RB6 17.5 blinky mode looked like it was a mod car to me last night.

Shurr Speed 17.5's. Geared 72/33. Use Associated Spur and slipper pads. Or wait for Triad system to come out. It should not be long now. I myself not being of their caliber of driver yet, did manage to place 3rd overall in qualifying in Intermediate Stock class this past weekend with an Orion Pro Stock 17.5 (2010 grey can) Motor. Was not slow at all.

I am going through my car again and i noticed some gear grinding in the gear box. I thought that maybe I was a little heavy on grease on the gears so i pulled it apart and built it again. I then put it together three times now and I still have gear grinding. Has anyone else run into this or have any ideas of what it might be? I also checked the gears and cleaned all of them to make sure there was nothing stuck in the teeth.

i'm kind of interested in the 2 hole piston idea. are you just running those in the rear or the front as well... what do they do in comparison to the 55's or k-55's?
