Hey guys this was raised before, has anyone found a solution to tighten up the slack developed in the steering? Like some delrin inserts, bearings or something? Thanks,

I don't have much slop yet but it's starting to develope. Maybe try using the kyosho shims, I'm sorry I don't have a part number but they are very thin metal shim/washers that work just about everywhere. I think most people buy them to use on their b4 cars. Lol

Why doesn't anyone run limiters inside front shocks on rb-6? Seems they just adjust overall shock length instead?

i would just guess because changing the little bottom eyelid is easier than changind a limiter inside the shock.
doesnt the bottom of the shock adjust droop if you have the short medium or long eyelid?

Smallish indoor clay tires of choice are hb beams in pink and full shot in pink or Jc greens. Jumps aren't very big and layout is usually pretty flowing. Search The Dirt Invert on YouTube there should be video. I would post it myself but I'm a tard lol.

.5 hubs
added this to the motor
http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...tor-Weight-30g
taped this to the very rear of the car against the bulkhead
http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...-Stopper-Block
The weight is key or the setup won't feel good. It shifts the weight over the rear tire so that it is similar to a rear motor, but without the pendulum effect of all the weight being behind the wheels.
shorty turned sideways all the way back, low pro servo up front, 2x1.6 taper AE pistons, 35f 30r
If your track has some grip, this should feel pretty good. If it is loose, not so much

I'm starting to think that my first 2WD Buggy will be an RB6. I plan on starting with the 17.5 class and moving up to mod when I'm confident. I'm curious on a couple things.
Is the build and manual simple enough that I can build this? I've never assembled any RC cars before but I have worked on a Losi 8Ight-E
I've heard that the various aluminum steering parts from Exotek are recommended for strength and stability. I would also probably buy the CF towers and battery holders. What other suggestions would you folks make? Link to Exotek for convenience! I'll take other brand recommendations too.

The shocks that come with the stock kit, are they the "velvet" shocks that everyone seems to swoon over? They're not advertised as such. If not, are they still good?
I've been reading info from this thread for a while now and while the RB6 is an expensive car, I believe in quality. This car has the look I want, the features I want, and seems to be built with quality in mind. Local parts support is there to a point but in this internet age, it doesn't bother me if I have to order from amain or other sites.

I've liked all the Kyosho aluminum steering rack parts (cranks and rack itself) which are basically slop-free after a few thousand laps, although you can't go wrong with Exotek. They make a front hinge pin brace that I'd like to try. I've never broken a shock tower, mainly just some front suspension mounts and bent/broken front braces. Shredded an idler gear once. Use the reinforced black ones!
There are probably parts of the build manual that could be more clear but if you've put together a kit before you'll have no problem. It really doesn't need that much in terms of upgrades. You won't be disappointed!

the shocks are velvet and they are the best.
build it, drool over it, wipe it off, start with the kit setup and race it

I replaced the stock rear hub carrier with a .5 deg tow in aluminum hub from Kyosho. The new hubs have an oversized outer bearing that is way way better that stock. They just got another revised hub carrier that has both oversize bearings. It should be even better. I am going to get those too but in 0 deg. For some reason I like 0 deg better. Who would have thought I would be able to tell the difference. The In sprung weight might not be the best thing but it is stronger, Its just a preventative measure. The RB6 is an amazing Car. It seems to do everything well. I have not found a flaw yet. I have picked up all the Kyosho Hop ups available although I didn't need any of them. I have not really had anything break.
