wouldn't ya know it came in at no better time than when i happen to be puttn' The Wildfire in it's stage of completion a part is not in its bag nor its box.
so the buggy will be fitted this A.M.
p.s. good read on the diff balls.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm learning a lot about offroad 2wd buggies from this thread! I've modified my list by adding and removing items based on the recommendations. So far, the build/setup is going very smoothly. However, I've observed/ran into a few things that didn't go exactly as planned and/or wasn't clear in the manual/setup sheet.
1) Some filing/cutting was required on the underside of the "Front Upper Plate" to ensure it sat flush on top of the "Front Bulkhead". I'm not exactly sure why this piece was molded this way. I'm going to assume that I made the right call in removing this piece.
2) I want to confirm that 'Block position: In' = wider front track width and 'Block position: Out' = narrower front track width.
3) There is play/slop between the suspension bushings and the composite suspension holders. I hope that the alum suspension holders and the delrin bushings takes care of this issue.

1) correct
2)i'm looking into that
3)that is interesting as i don't have any slop anywhere. i'd check to make sure they are the correct bushing and if they are and it is an unreasonable amount of play, i would look into using this http://www.speedtechhobbies.com/inde...roduct_id=2126

(edit: what page is this in the manual? I don't see anything about changing front track. I wasn't aware you could, besides shimming/rigging the front axles.)
When using the plastic suspension holders, make sure you are running the metal bushings. When running the metal hangers, run the plastic or derlin bushings. I don't recall seeing much play when running the metal hangers, and the white plastic/derlin bushings.

Hey guys, had a quick question for you, i was looking through some of the rb6 stuff and it looks like the step 2.0 rear wing is really popular. Then i check the price out and its about $14 for one wing...im a AE guy and usually use the JC wings and get 2 for about $8-10. Are the kyosho wings molded out of a thicker lexan, like the LMR wings? Also, just curious, did any of you used to have a B4.1 that could compare the rb6 to? I just saw my first one run this past weekend and it looked awesome. Thanks!

I think the only way you can get away with changing the front track width by flipping the caster inserts is if you use the "0" insert. If you flip the 2 or 4 insert so the hole is on the outside I think it will screw up the caster, but I'm not sure.
