98% probability that they are not... Kyosho is great at doing things like that

Default RB6 hopup!

Well I got the new chassis in, upgraded to titanium screws, got the aluminum idler gear in and re-mounted the battery in the rear of the car with the help of the RT6 battery stop. Here are some pics! Now I am ready for a new servo and electronics. Debating on going back to my low profile servo or a new spektrum servo???

I have checked both the readyset and pro kit manual it's the same part number. I am looking forward to get me the alu rear hub but was wondering are there any diff from one company who produces them, say yaiba/tresrey, rdrp over exotek or say kyosho hop ups

Yes they are the same part number. However, when you take them out of the package it might have a different feel and look (color) to them.

For those who run clay tires, MC or gold, what tire compound do you like?

Same part number. Same shape. Different plastic.

They kyosho one will be the only one that adds value to the car. Maybe the exotek....

I run at topgearraceway. Joe pillars and andy dibrinos home track and we have always loved the gold compound by far for clay type dirt.

I run on indoor wet/damp clay and prefer MC.

You can alter the rear brace a bit but it stretches out and is probably 15mm further forward than the new part.

If it's any consolation the plastic hubs on my RB6 kit broke at the first race meeting. I hardly break anything on cars. I think the kit plastic hubs are weak, others agree, so I replaced with the Kyosho Alu V2 hubs.

It's something you would replace whether Kit RB6 or RTR.

That seems strange to me. I have been running my original plastic rear hubs for over a year now and have yet to break one. In fact the only thing I have broke on this car (which I have broke several now)is the rf plastic hangers.
