Default For the B5/B5M from Schelle:
http://www.redrc.net/2014/05/schelle...fs/#more-81000





"Also, customers can retro fit these standoffs to a Kyosho RB6, M3x22 mm screw required. Although not specifically designed for the RB6, they fit the Kyosho shock caps nicely."

There's been an odd obsession with putting Kyosho shocks on the RC10 ever since I started racing in the 80s. Funny thing - my Avatar picture is of my Lazer ZX-1 from the early 90s and I have AE shocks on it

I find it hard to believe they would take out that much side bite but the AE guys I've spoken with have told me that the hard rear arms do reduce rear traction enough to notice.

I had an RB6. Personally, the shocks were ok. And I really disliked some things about them.

With the improvements TLR made to theirs, I think the TLR is easily the best damper on the market right now. Easy to build, inexpensive to maintain, and they work great. Would like to put a set on my B5.

Thanks - and what did you notice the most after doing that? By up, I assume you mean the thin one on top? I'm very interested because OCRC is similar to our dirt. Stuff that works there tends to work well here too.

Oman...

Just installed the pistons yesterday, only had time to do that & clean my gear box.

Tonight I get to try for first time.
How do I know how they effect performance ?

I ask my teammates.....
