I have both and would say for lower traction facilities I like my B4.2 better....However, if your track has enough traction so that the car bicycles and traction rolls then I'd say go RB6!

I had b4.1 and rb6. We will all have our own opinion. IMO, rb6 is the only buggy i've driven that is easy to find tons of steering and rear traction! I have never driven a buggy like the rb6. However, i've seen people ditch the rb6 and go back to the b4 platform. So it's personal experience and opinions.

I haven't found a nice bright pearl orange in a rattle can as of yet.
So you have tried this paint before? http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ray-Paint-35oz

I have quick question and I am sorry if this has been spoken about before.
I started my Mid Mount build tonight and I have decided to give the UM521 rear arms a go as I will be racing on carpet.(wise move I am not sure )

Can someone confirm that these don’t require a shim (2mm for the kit arms) as when I tried a 2mm or even 1mm the holes for the screws on the chassis and RF2 hanger wouldn’t line up and only would without it being shimmed.
I hoping I haven’t got something wrong that is all

I just built my RB6 and ran for the first time today. Loving the car but I had an issue with the right rear out drive got chewed up by the dog bone. The kit came with UMW514/515 which I believe are the wide rear arm hangers and the shock dog bones are 65.5mm. My shocks measured 26.5mm from bottom of shock to top of long eyelet. Am I missing something or need different dog bones that are longer? thanks for the help
