San Diego is home!... but alas, as they say, "you can never go home"... how true that is.
A bunch of my track mates were down at WCRC for the koproppo race... I just didn't quite have enough time with work to be able to bring my gear and race it... I wish I could of while I was already down there!

Yep. It is home for me still. Glad you got to go and bummer you could not race. I am coming to Seattle and will be bringing my gear this time.

Here is what I use to rebuild my shocks... the only thing you will use will be the blue xrings. At 2 bucks for 2 shocks (Use 2 blue xrings per shock, 4 come in each bag... two bags needed for the whole car), the price can't be beat, and they are noticeably smoother than the stock rings... 0 leak, 0 bind, 100 smooth.

...now, if anyone can help me w/ the part # for the shock ends and little bushings that go inside them - that'd be great.
ps - I even looked at Kyosho's website under RB6 parts w/ no luck??

There are a handfull of parts from the rb6 that are actually rb5 parts, and are only listed that way (so far anyway)... so take a look/search that way and you will find them, along with any other part from the 6 that is shared from the 5.

Lower shock eylets

Thank you, but aren't these all the same length? I'd like to find the Small Medium and Large "Ball Ends" (shock ends) to tune the droop.

Run the stock length shock ends that come with the car. That of course is medium in front, and long in rear. If you want a little more (which maybe you might want in the front), just unscrew the eyelets a turn or so. In the rear, the long eyelets provide quite a bit of rear droop, which this car likes. It helps with rear traction in the corners. If you need a little less, run a limiter.
