As LasagnaCat stated, you must run at least 2mm of spacing on the standard mounts or the offset mounts. Right now the hot set-up is with a little arm sweep. I am personally running 3.5mm of spacing in the FF mount and 3.0 on the FR.
how about th rear do you space them out by 1.mm even when you are using the offset ?

I don't use the offset mounts, as I still prefer to run 8 block locks, so my rear spacing is set at 1.5RF and 4.3RR which yields right around 3.5 degrees of rear toe.

Would you like to reply on my PM Cristian? ;-)

Can't wait for the chassis to arrive. TC6(.1) + RSD = A beast!

Will the RSD6 include a servo saver or will I need to purchase one? If so, any suggestions?

Older post, but a BIG +1 on this one.

First race-day of the year today, TQ in my class and ended up fourth in the main with the car that would just randomly spin in weird places... sure enough, loose set screw and no loctite = really bad.

Other than the rookie 101 mistake from the 'should have known better/DUH!' category, the car ran great with all the Reflex parts... thanks Christian!

No servo saver included. Any long servo saver will work, the taller the better I think. Personally I recommend a metallic gear servo with an aluminum servo horn. Core RC sells a really cool one that has overlapping holes:

This is the one I use. Through all of our testing we have not stripped a servo, however I do run metal gears. I have noticed most European Pros don't run servo savers either. I feel it makes the car track more straight.

With the regular TC6 single crank, I used to lock down my servo saver as well, so you should be safe so long as you don't constantly beat on walls.

If you want to run a saver, get a Kimbrough mid size.

The kimbrough mid size is not ideal length. It is a bit short. The RSD6 has high steering bellcranks so you would be better served with something taller. Otherwise you will not have full throw or you will have slow steering.

3racing makes a long/tall servo saver that's a copy of the Tamiya ones, which would probably be best.

Any updates on when the RSD6 kits will start shipping? Getting pretty anxious to try it out!

I've been using Avid's for a while now. Durable and cheap.
