I might be interested in it. Need detailed picks and a list of what is on it...ex...aluminum rear hangers, al steering rack etc.

So I tried 25+4 caster today. The car felt a little lazier, which I expected but it was a lot more stable around the track. I've always wondered why we ran 25+0 but every car out there is 25+5 caster. It's not like we need steering!

So I want to do the side ways shorty pack conversion, has any one got some tips or photos with out the battery installed. How much do you dremal out of the sides? How are you centering/holding the battery in position?

Take a look at Tebos Reedy Race car pics. Shows everything needed in detail.

Tom u actually don't have to dremel the chassis at all. What I did was cut the side guards to an exact fit. This could take a couple of minutes as I don't want to take of to much. Once done install the side guards as normal. then install 2mm shims under the trey piece that attaches to the waterfall. Then take 2mm shims and install under the battery holder that screws into chassis. Make sure u use longer screws. Depending where u put the battery holder cut the battery strap to an exact fit.

What is everyone using for the rear pills right now? I'm running b in /a per Tebo setup but still lacking forward bite

I picked up the B5m battery foam, 91536 to help keep the battery where I wanted it. Now I can adjust the battery forward and backward in the chassis as opposed to it being in one spot.

20 grams heavier than the aluminum toe block. Total weight is 24 grams.

Hi all. I was thinking of picking up one of these and racing it in 17.5 locally. Since the design is a few years old, how does it stack up to the newer buggies out there? Is it worth the premium? I am basically trying to decide between this and the Durango.

Does anyone have any idea as to how long Kyosho will be supporting this buggy?

Also, what big bore springs fit because $20 for a PAIR of Kyosho springs is a bit hard to swallow.

Thanks.

I am sure Kyosho will be supporting this brand for quite a few years still. They are still making parts for their previous generation of cars, before the RB6.

As for springs, any big bore springs from the other manufacturers will fit. One thing to keep in mind though is you will find top drivers for different brands either running or using the Kyosho X-Gear springs in their pit box or setup sheet. There is a reason why they use them, especially since they race at the top level.

As for comparison to the Durango, I have not seen one a while so it would be unfair for me to comment on it. I know they changed direction recently, by discontinuing their factory team but Travis (Peanut) Amezcua is leading the charge and he seems to be doing just fine. You might want to ask in the Durango thread what changes they are making to their cars and if they are necessary if you haven't done so already.

Good luck with your decision but if you go with a Kyosho car I don't think you can go wrong.

For low traction tracks, I'm better off having a shorter rear camber link to give me more rear traction? For some reason I thought it was long but I was reading through the B5M manual and read that shorter should help it square up faster and give you more traction. Better for low traction. Is this correct? OR am I better having long for low traction?

Also moving the hubs from middle to forward position, what would that do?
