I have both white and red to try and thinking of going to white first.

Last week I found more speed with my current delta rc winter track running a full 300 gram lipo with pink/gold since the track is super rutted from 1/8 nitro and has fewer twisty bits than the summer tracks.
my bad thats supposed to be pink. like i said when i was trying to post it i was extremely sick.

Default better battery support

if you are using a short pack i found an easy way of making a shorter battery hold down . if i wanted to use a fan i could .on the rear all you need to do is use two ball cup ends long . cut the length flush just under the ball cup side . trim so it will fit down in the middle hole of the battery holder put a counter sunk screw in the bottom to secure . on the top drill holes on the top and reinstall the top support cut the battery top brace to length . real easy

Well finally finished my build and all I can say is....I haven't been this impressed with a kit since my last X-ray build. The car went together very nicely and i was pretty much able to hide the majority of the wiring. Waiting on my Esc to come in before I get to toss her on the track. I did start my shock setup with 1.6 2 hole pistons f/r with 32.5/30. On the bench it feels a tad soft but might work.

The B length front suspension brace is compatible with the stock rb6 width. The type C is the Rb5 WC and is narrowest. The original ( A i presume though it is not marked) is the rb5, sc, and rt5 length and is widest.

Thanks for the PM's regarding the stickpack/MM config guys! I think I found a pretty elegant solution. Hopefully it will help anyone else with the same problem. I used the rear battery mount and slid it up against the posts in the rear. Sponge taped it to the chassis and everything fits perfectly.

one of the key features of the RB6 is it's super low center of gravity . i really don't think mounting your esc and receiver on top is going to help in any way . plus the car is heavy anyway.I run MM look at my chassis setup.

I've somewhat been following this car since it came out. I used to own a Rb5 WC and well... nothing compares to k-quality. I was wondering how agile is the rb6? Also is it durable? I would be running stock 17.5.

I just got one for 17.5 racing, I love the car very agile and responsive, I run Shorty's not sure on stick. I've only broke a RF2 plate so far and I hit the pipe pretty hard but didn't even know it was broke and won the race. Just be sure to use the thicker Rf2 (had smaller one when broke). I herd the steering bar can break so im carrying a spare but so far so good, going to order a exotek if it breas. I've drove both B4.1 all the hop ups big bores, tlr 22 hopped up. My opinion is this car is amazing and drives like no other very smooth.

I must be missing something as to why your going through all the trouble to use long ball cups cut off etc etc. My battery is setup like yours with the parts from the kit. The kit included parts to set it up just like that.
