Loving this car so far. Broke a steering rack and a rear camber block over the weekend so I hope we see alternatives for those parts soon. I had the set screws in the empty holes in the rear camber block and I'm also running the longer ball studs, and it still broke. Put a locknut on the bottom of the ball stud when I replaced the block to try and spread the load a little better...We'll see.

Aluminum steering rack please!

At my track we had a kid make a cf piece out of 2mm and dremel one side down to 1mm, held up all day and seems promising

So i am on the fence about picking up one of these vs sticking with my good ole b4.1. My problem is that i always try out the latest / greatest thing and end up going back to my b4.1.

Actually I put the diff out of my RB5 into my RB6 (freshly rebuilt w/B-Fast) and it didn't fit. There was a lot of side to side play. So, assembled the diff that came in the kit, and it fit fine.....?????

^^^ Mine is the same. I will need to shim it before I run. What size shims will do the trick? Anybody know off hand?

I have the same illness of needing to try every new car that comes out. It's a big part of the fun of the hobby for me. And yes, even the SVR and the Yokomo.

I absolutely love the RB6. Very likely to be my "keep it" car......until the next newest thing is released.

I was also at the Gold Cup with Capt this weekend. Ended up TQ and winning the Superstock class and was BQ in mod. My first impression was very positive even with brand new tires. As the tires wore in it was like holy steering batman! on power off power...didnt matter. Mind you I am running a full pack and rtr weighed 60.2oz with no added weight anywhere. Most people were running full packs and went to white front springs and gold rear to tame the car a little. 37.5 frt oil and 30 in the back is a good place to start. Most of my runs I could get through the 6min without hitting my lid once. Car seemed to be easy to drive and make small mistakes correctable without rolling over. (except my mod BQ run....2 self inflicted wounds followed by another drivers blowup took me out) But all in all, great car and yes it is better then the rb5. (IMO)

Was great seeing you at the cup, Derry! you were a madman in the Rb6. All in all, the car's first big outing in the area was VERY impressive.

New battery brace setup! works like a charm.. aluminum RB5 battery posts with 2mm shim underneath. I will end up cutting off the back inch or two as it doesn't go under the bulkhead (doesnt need to)

Looks Nice.
I see you are using bullet connectors but how did you do something different. Looks like you used a spacer or something interesting?
