I am making carbon fiber dive equipmentt for 6 years and I can say that I received a high quality ooptionals.
My only problem id that I can't wait to use the mid motor rear tower.
Coould somebody give Me some details about the difference between rear / mid motor usage becsuse thid is My first time with electric off road?
Mid motor would be used for artificial turf/carpet (super high grip) The rear motor is for dirt or clay applications (allows the car to rotate more). That's my understanding ....

I went to gold springs in the rear and removed the .5 shim under the rear hingepin holder. Made a world of difference. ALso went to outside hole on inner camber link on rear and outer on hub.

For those interested, I tried the 2 hole shock pistons (hand made) and they were awesome. I raced at leisure hours in IL which is a large fast track with big jumps and I switched to losi 55's up front and 1.6 2 holes in the rear for the main. I noticed an immediate difference on the positive side. The car still rolled like it should but also soaked up the hard landings. I'm tempted to try the 2 holes in the front too but I like this set up so well I'm afraid to change it.

I liked the drilled 55s also. The Losi 55s are actually smaller than drilled 55s.

Broke a ballstud in the front bulkhead. The default setup is the ballstud goes on the outer hole. Since the broken ballstud thread was left inside the hole. What will happen if I used the middle hole instead? Of course I have to adjust the turnbuckle to get the camber I want.

I moved my front ball stud to the middle position on my car and it helped to get more steering out of my car. Another option would be to use a disc and a dremel to cut a slot in the broken stud, then use a flat head screw driver to get it out.

New Kyosho owner here...lol. I just got my RB6 and am trying to fit my Orion R10 Pro speed control into position beneath the rear shock tower. There is a clearance issue with the wires coming out the top of the speedo and into the shock tower base preventing me from placing the speedo in that position. Has anyone else had this problem? It seems like the only option would be to trim a little into the shock tower base. What do you guys think?

The front end will get a little slower to react. I tried the middle hole out and it's not bad. Lower ur front camber and it help to increase the initial steering you'll loose.

Is there really supposed to be this much slop where the shock caps attach to the shock tower?? Seems like the plastic "shock balls" or " shock bushings" are too small ...

Yes, it was designed to be run that way. Do not force thread down any more or you risk binding on the top. I used aluminum nuts and squashed the bushing to make it more snug and my car ran like crap.

Or you can just rewire the speed control with 14 gauge wire like I and many others have done

Every time I've run my rb6 I've changed one thing and it just gets better and better!
