couldn't agree more, eper. Nothing jumps or lands like the RB6. It sounds to me that maybe the jump isn't built right, or the car is seriously tweaked (usually a bound shock or suspension arm).

Take a video of your car going off that jump, and post it up.

The only thing setup wise you have posted that might be it... is if using the stock pistons, your rear oil might be a tad light? If the jump isn't stellar, and your damping is light, you might be bottoming out or something on the way up? hard to say. video would sure make it easy

Hi All,

Quick note that the RR and RF hangers are in along with spring perches.

MMR hangers are due next week.

Thanks!

This might have already been covered, but I don't think it'll hurt to double post it...

If your ever at a track and break a ballstud, Losi SCTE's fit just fine, snug and tight (most shops carry Losi parts)

Quick setup question for you guys - I'm looking for a good setup for 17.5 at WCRC; I was running Dias' stock setup from back in October, and my car was ok at first but it seems like it doesn't have enough corner speed compared to a couple of my friends' cars. I was comparing the Dias setup to Tebo's Reedy race setup, and there are definitely some differences although obviously Tebo's setup is for modified. Should I try Tebo's WCRC setup even though I'm going to run stock or is there something else out there? Any tips would be great.

corner speed is a pretty generic question. I would have your friends with faster corner speed run your car for times laps. get their input.

Never really noticed it before, but the motor guard has a .05 shim that goes around the tab that sits on the chassis. I find it odd because there is no mention of it in the manual or on any of the setup sheets. At first i thought this was a new way of adding a shim to remove anti squat, but the manual shows adding a .05 shim on the opposite site of the guard also.
