I just built my kit and I have a question about the shocks. I searched and couldn't find anyone else asking this, but searching up shocks or mounting, etc comes up with a lot of results.
The shocks seem to have a lot of play in them. I have checked the manual several times and seem to be using the right shock bushing mounts, but I am able to wiggle the shocks back and forth. The other few kits from different manufacturers I have built have never done this. Both the front and rear shocks are the same way. Is this how it is supposed to be or did I miss something? Thanks.

Assuming you mean the shock moves freely on the shock tower and the wishbone; then this is a desirable trait. All the shocks should be free on the tower and wishbone at full extension (maximum droop) and also at full compression. (Chasis bottoming out)
If they dont do this, especially at some point through the compression, then the shock shaft is being pushed along a different plane than the shock body and the piston will bind within the shock body. Some Yokomo cars of late have these issues.

Thank you both for the reply. My RB6.6 only has a little bit of play at the shock tower mount and my Serpent SRX2 has them tight without any movement on the rear shock tower and only a little play on the front shocks. I feel safe running it now since it is normal. Thanks again.

Has anyone found a pair of Ball Link Pliers that work with the RC10B6.1 Ball cups?
I don't like using long nose pliers since they scratch everything up.

A popular modification at one point was to use a turnbuckle between the battery brace and transmission in place of the chassis brace/waterfall. This would allow you to move the battery further back. Was definitely more common with the B6 and the laydown transmission. The 6.1d with the layback kind of fixed the weight bias that people were trying to get with that mod.
The original B6 battery holder didn't have the hole. They made a running change before the 6.1 was released.
