Which aluminum servo horn fits this car good. Just got a rb6 and I'm trying to get it together. Thanks.

On a loamy track there is usually a lot more side bite, so MM isn't much of an advantage I would think.

Ok. This buggy has been out for over a year now and I'm getting one for sure. What are the must have spares to keep on hand? I've also read the steering system isn't all that strong so I was thinking exotek. I'll be running rear motor on carpet. Thanks guys

Took my first test drive of the MM layout on a med/high bit indoor clay track last night. I don't know why I waited a year to try it out. Buggy is much improved over the RM for my track: more stable on the ground & in the air, more corner speed, less "pendulum" effect, transitions faster. The concept of MM makes sense following the reasoning of "centralized mass" used in modern snowmobiles and high performance motorcycles. It is the best upgrade/change I've made.

I can't guarantee this works but I'm willing to bet the set up i'm running would translate well to dusty or slippery conditions. The most significant changes would be running c-in/c-in on the new toe blocks and 1.5mm worth of shims below the rear toe block. The rest is really just personal preference.
I just finished racing the Spektrum and traction was "good" but after a few laps, the track dusted up. The setup i have now seemed to really get the rear end to squat and get the power down. After speaking with one of the Kyosho drivers, there are a few more things I want to try but i can't say I left feeling like my car was lacking anywhere (handling wise).

Without filling out a whole set up sheet, the significant changes were:
1. Running c-in/c-in on the new toe blocks
2. 1.5 mm shims under the rear toe block
3. Servo/speedo/shorty battery/[3/4 ounce weight]/motor
4. White rear springs.
The rest of your set up is really personal preference and based on tuning for the tires you use. Keep in mind, to put the 1.5mm under the rear toe blocks, you will need to loosen the 2 transmission screws prior to putting the rear bulkhead back. Also do not run any shims on top of the toe block, your already past the 1 mm the designers allowed for spacing.

Cnelson had an awesome showing at Spektrum. His buggy looked locked in.
Nice job this weekend!
I bought an extra rear bulk head that I'm gonna try shave 1mm off so the shock tower height is not effected at all. I think some Dremel work will do the trick.
