one thing that i started doing awhile back that helped alot was try whatever adjustment you are wondering about but exagerate it, so like how you are asking about shims, rather than adding one shim and possibly not noticing anything add 3 or 4, then you get it stuck in your head what is accomplished by adding shims, or even shock position, if you are thinking of laying a shock in one hole, go all the way, if its too much back it off a hole, but at least you know for future reference what changes will do what,
. Adding 0.5 shim under the sus block is gonna make one iota of a difference on a loamy blown out dirt track

lol yea, but like i was saying now you know the effects of changing your caster and you can refer back to that if need be. you see a lot of people that will just copy a setup go run there buggy and it may be drivable or it may completely suck, the fact is that everyone drives different and whats different things from there cars, you have to know what changes to make to get the desired results

How do you go about changing the front track width? Are there different width front suspension blocks?
I'll assume there are wide and narrow king pin braces too.
Does the RB6 come with the wide or narrow option, and which of the RB5s comes with the other?
edit: The manual refers to the suspension block as "standard," so am I correct in assuming the the RB6 comes with the more narrow block?

The caster block uses an insert with an offset hole which can be inserted from the front or back of the caster block to adjust width i think 2mm per side and is also used to adjust caster up to +/- 4* from 0.

if you are trying to run the narrow front set up you need to exchange the right and left hand side inserts. be sure you dont put them in upside down or the car will be twitchy as you will be removing caster. also top shotta i recommend putting them in just like the manual suggests until you figure out what you want from the car. then play with that

My track just announced that they are going to ban the D3.5 motor (http://www.roarracing.com/?p=1842) in our blinky 17.5T class. Which renders my brand new Fantom D3.5 obsolete. You guys have any suggestions on another motor? I know this really isnt thread specific but I wanted to see what you guys were running in your RB6s since its a little heftier than other buggies.

I own the d3.5, the Sonic and the schuurspeed. I could never get the schuurspeed to be as fast as the other to. I tried all different gearing and timing. The Sonic with it timed to the silver cap screw and geared at 29/72 is dam fast, just as much as the d3.5.
