Trying to find the bearings for the aluminum hubs? http://www.amain.com/kyosho-5x11x4mm...aring-2/p34703


Are those the right ones? Do you guys have part numbers

The larger bearings give better durability and load capacity

The stock body is good, I know a lot of guys like the JC Finnisher body, and lately I've been running the PL Phantom body. I know some guys don't like the looks of that body, but I like it.

Wing wise, the JC high clearance or Finnisher wing seems to be pretty good. I know some guys that like the LMR wing and I've been using the PL Trifecta wing, mainly for durability.

What about the upgrade 6.5" wing? I'm brand new to this car so excuse the n00b questions.

I've never had issues with steering on the RB6. Our servo is mounted a lot further than most cars, but I have a 10g aluminum pivot in case I ever needed more.
