100% agree, I forgot to mention that my son upgraded the servo horn almost right away.
I think associated has plastic horn works for cheap (possibly b74 or earlier b6, I forget which) or obviously a metal one. He did run it like that for a while before getting the upgraded servo. The spring servo saver was actually binding and sending him into the wall at times.

The standard servo saver is VERY weak , not sure there is any point upgrading servo and keeping that. I'm in a similar position to you and am just keeping the servo and servo saver standard for now. Upgrade would be something like a Savox 1258 with a 25t associated horn , either metal or plastic. Not sure how well that will do with the pounding it might take though...
On that note anyone know which mm 25T clamping horn I would need? 20, 18.5 15.5?
Glad this thread is getting some attention. when I searched it, it hadn't seen any love for a while and I was worried people had given up on this platform.

Planning a trip to a local track on a non-club racing day during their February vacation. Hoping to get some laps in and see how they do. Thinking I might put a better servo and servo horn in my older child's rb10 and pro2sc10 based on how he does.

I'm glad to know it's not the brushless system that was holding it back. I was really perplexed that a 3300kV motor would be so slow, but it's just severely under-geared from the factory. Great for bashers and beginners, not for those who want to race an RTR vehicle!

Finally got to the LHS with the kids and tried out their indoor carpet track. It is a small technical track and the buggies were great. Being a small track they had plenty of power in stock form, and the stock tires surprisingly had decent traction. I don't think that will be the case next time once they get worn down a bit.
The only part of the track we struggled with was a S turn into a 180 corner. The stock servo with the servo saver was just to slow to go through that section with any speed. We had to crawl through it. Going to try getting rid of the servo saver, but I think the servos will just have to be upgraded as recommended.
Other then that we had a blast and I was impressed with these RTR buggies. Also we had no broken parts even after some rather hard crashes.

Just swapped to your gearing setup. You're right, it really wakes up this buggy! Granted I've only tested it on the street in front of my house, but it is certainly quicker than the stock gearing. I have a race this weekend and I'm looking forward to seeing how it does now.

Are these basically a re-issue of the rtr B4.2? I had the FT B4.2 and the chassis looks very similar to the RB10. If that's the case, it looks like BOKI has bodies that will fit this.

Yes, 5 series based (metric) as Mr Silverbullet mentions, in spite of the 4 series appearing 'tub style' chassis plate ... all except the ballcups, front steering blocks and front axles, which are 6 series specs ... SC include Pro/Pro2 SC10, Trophy Rat and Reflex DB10 ... not sure, but likely AE's newer short wheelbase offerings as well

May I enquire,
.
Given the RB10 is plastic chassis,
1) can this chassis last a long time
2) will those screws that goes through the chassis holes, will the holes expand after long usage of the buggy ?
Will wait for anyone reply

It's fine, my kid has given it a beating and it holds up. Plastic moulded chassis were used for decades in top line race chassis (b4, XX, XXX, RB5 etc) . They fell out of fashion, for reasons of fashion and maybe tooling costs. I can't think of any other good reasons.
