What the crap they lowered the price even more... They were selling that 2 days ago (same link) for $380 now it's $330. If I would've known that I would've plugged the plug on that instead of the used one I bought.

So I did just buy a RB6, I was thinking of possibly getting a new chassis just to make it in better shape. Would I be better off getting the OEM or the lightweight?

Thinking I'm going to race stock, but considering mod also.

From what I've heard the lightweight chassis is good for flex. If that's something you'd want. Its suppose to help on low bite surfaces with gained traction from the flexing. I run one and I'm finally getting the car dialed in.

Taken from kyosho America: Description
UMW720 Lightweight Main Chassis (A7075T6/RB6)
Optional lightweight chassis for RB6. Added milling in the rear allows for more flex resulting in added traction on low bite surfaces, and milling in the sides adds torsional flex for a bit more forgiveness on high bite surfaces. 25 grams lighter than stock!

Why does that price on Amazon keep getting cheaper by the day?

Maybe there is a quietly anticipated rb7 on the way.

Is there really suppose to be a new Rb7 or whatever coming out?

Or you think Amazon is just trying to get rid of them?

I know nothing about it. Just making a comment. Anything is possible. It does seem weird that the price had fallen over $100 though. Either way. $315 is a steal.

Through what I read, it seems it will. It's based off people who buy it, and competitor pricing.

I'm going to hold up, until Saturday and see. They said it's not uncommon for it to be 60-85% off the retail price they list. Seems like if they does go back up before it goes down it will only be $10-15

Considering that kyosho just changed all of their race chassis' to the updated "6" models I wouldn't think so. LLet's remember the rb6 is around 2 years old.... I wouldn't be surprised to hear of an updated version like an sp model or something

The price was a mistake, I doubt they will put it up like that again, they lost out pretty big on these sales.

I'm not so sure. Looks like Amazon liquidated their inventory, and now have them listed by another seller.

That old price was a deal and a half.

Ya crazy deal they had going on. They were losing money because cost isn't that low.

What steering rack is the best to get/cheapest.
