Tech Apprentice
would this car be good for a beginner to racing off road competitively, or is it too much for someone new?

My son and I each started with RB6's. I'm still surprised at the durability. I would recommend the aluminum front arm holder though. Not because they break but they get warped and twisted and it's sometimes hard to tell. If you start with a used buggy, take it all apart and check everything. Especially check the hinge pins for straightness and be sure there is no binding. I would do this with any used buggy.

I have the 1.4 3 hole in my wheeler and they are good with heavier weight oil but I'd go with the 1.6x2 on the 2wd.

Thx!!! What oil and springs for 1.6 2 hole all around? Kyosho shocks feel so much stiffer than competitors (are, xray, etc) with the same oil and spring rates.

Used to race a lot of oval back in the early 90's and the only thing I kept was a sprint car chassis that I made way back then. Local track runs offroad and oval and I had a old RB6 laying around soooo...

Depending on your track conditions, for medium bite clay I'd go 32.5F, 30R with kit pink front spring and kit gold rear. For higher grip, I go up in oil 35/32.5 etc and go one softer on front spring still run the gold rear. Hope this helps.

I had to dig a little bit for this thread....... Page 3? Yikes! I'm not digging that! Lets get it rolling here a little more guys. Anyway, I've been a TLR guy my whole life and decided to make a huge switch. Built this bad mamma jamma over this last weekend and ran it for the first time this last Wed. I'm a lost of words on how good this car is. By far the smoothest out of the box and the quality is over the top. I can't say enough....

How good is this car with laydown tranny installed on clay vs Losi or the B6d with laydown. Going shopping

I put the 3 gear laydown in the RB6.6 right off the bat and I love it. I have a little bit of Tebo's surf city setup in it and a little bit of my own based off the track I run only cuz I didn't know what to expect never owning a Kyosho. This car worked right off the bat.
Now the TLR 22 3.0 laydown I just had not too long ago was really good too, but it just was never consistent to me or my driving style. It felt like I was always trying to find something better, or it pushed too much or it had no forward bite. It was always one thing or another.
First night racing the RB6.6 and I was confident with it, way more consistent, easier to drive and I was way faster with it first night than I was weeks with the TLR. I didn't have to really work that hard or stay on my toes like the TLR.
I have drove the B6 3 gear laydown that other guys at my track have enough to know that on power with the shocks forward is a little different to get used to and there are just way too many things that you need to do to make that car work, flat arm this, gull wing this, or gull wing tower here, shim the bulkhead this or do that, dremel this. Just build it, throw a setup on it and go and that's what the RB6.6 is good for in my opinion.
I don't want to start a war or anything so hopefully nobody takes offense, but this is just clearly my opinion.
