Are you guys drilling an extra hole in the rear arm like on the buggy? Also is there a new front tower available? I see Tebo is running a 3 hole front tower

Looks like the 4 hole tower with the 4th hole shaved off.

I know most are running saddles side by side, what about shorty?

Are most running inline or sideways on the shorty also?

Did you just put Kyosho axles and strong in the same sentence? just playin. Looks like I'll be close to the 200 range but if I can sell the chassis and other items might be worth it. ST is picking up momentum out here.

Hehe.... Have already watched front and rear axles from a T5M snap like twigs. Brand new trucks too.

We were going to have a 13.5 truck class since 17.5 is so pokey, but by the time the T5M finally came out, Most guys who had preordered and waited had changed over to stock buggy over mod, since that class has been shrinking in favor of 8th scale.

Ok, other than a fast change, nothing. Was hoping they would be lighter, easier on the plastic of the wheels etc. Wishful thinking! Haha...

Man there are new ST's everywhere at OCRC, hope this RT6 will be the class killer!

Benefits? Besides quick and easy wheel changes....no more nuts backing out and losing a wheel during a run, no more dropped and lost nuts while trying to put your wheels on...and the time lost looking for said dropped nuts on the floor, and finally no more stripped nuts.

And no more spun out wheel hexes from loose wheel nuts
