Run an AE spur gear, and pick up AE's VTS.
Cheaper, and more readily available.
I have both the VTS and an Avid, albeit no in an RB6 (B4, SC10 and B44). They perform the same, but the Avid is considerably more expensive, and harder to source parts for. You're also limited on spur gear selection with the Avid. VTS sits inside the hexagonal recess in the spur, so you can mount it to any AE style spur.
I've found that the multiplate slippers help put the power down smoothly. A traditional slipper transfers power abruptly. It's either slip or grip. The VTS makes the transition smoother, so you can start putting the power down sooner. It helps keep the car from getting too squirrely on rutted up tracks as well.

Now all we need are swing shafts and axles! The pins in the swingshafts is where we need a boost to durability and longevity... the Kyosho diff is already flawless. Speaking of which, if you made the swing shaft pins REPLACIBLE... (the pins that spin the outdrives), I bet you would sell a set for every kyosho car out there.

Haha after my experience with the cougar no ways!! I had made a carbon fiber version of the wing that thing was too damn stiff everytime it flipped it would make a god awful noise.
I now cut the vertical wall between the two side fins as close to the wing surface as possible. Makes the side fins flex the most without tearing and the shock tower takes the max brunt of the impact. I am not so good a driver to notice the reduction in down force

Is anyone currently running the Orion VTS lipo with weights? I have one on the way and wanted to see what the dialed set up is.
