First night with the new rb6! The car was great, felt so smooth and plush. I instantly felt good with it and got some lap times that were better than I thought I would get tonight, and didn't break anything. I used Brandon's setup (thanks), but with stock pistons 37.5/32.5. I might go lighter for oils as I bounced around a little bit.
I am sold on Kyosho! I will post pics of the car tomorrow

Anyone who has suggestions on parts that brake most often? Going to a race soon were they don't sell K parts.
Is it the usual: towers, arms the steering rack thingy and the KYOUM720? What about hubs and bulkhead?
Has anyone tried boiling the plastic steering rack thing that breaks to make it more bendy? I wont be able to get the exotek before the race.

Shock towers have stout. About the steering link...its not a rigidity issue, just a lack of material issue

i've stripped screws on just about every other brand at one time or another, but after building two KYO's and rebuilding them 10x's over, their all in perfect shape.
what tools are you using?

If you want BiC hardware, see Mugen or Tony's. Very disapoointed about this aspect of the RB6. Then again, the rest is top-notch

PS: Brandon did you ever get that kit or not?

It has been my experience if you use a tool that has a ball end on it chances are that it is starting to wear out. I have an EDS 2.0mm and this is what has happened to it. I can take a non-ball end 2.0mm EDS and not have any issue with it fitting properly.

I had my EDS 2.0 wear out within a few months, didn't seem better than any cheap tool. Also a good tip to never use a ball end unless you absolutely need to use it.
My tip is to buy a nice MIP or Hudy 2mm and not worry about it. I've been using my MIP 2mm for about a year now and it looks the same as it did the first day.
