Going to stock up spares, are the stock front towers holding up? Thanks,
have taken many hard tumbles at West Coast RC trying to get the triple down in stock, and the front towers have been money. No need for an aftermarket part.

With servos being so strong, and tough no need for a servo saver anymore.

For those of you who have went from plastic rear hubs to aluminum did you notice a difference in the way the car handled?

I suspect I lost a bit of rear grip for some reason...

And have gotten a bunch of s**t from AE drivers because of it. The car is phenomenal in that respect, but in truth I could use dialing down a bit of steering so I am trying the 4 inserts in the caster blocks to tame the beast a bit. If only Losi could dream of having a car that is as long as the 22 and steers like an Associated. lol.... they got the 22 all wrong, just like the last few cars before.
Still using the gullwings. I dont think I'll go back to the wc arms.
I'm on a dirt track though. Sometimes loose, sometimes groved...


Question: reduce steering throw vs reduce steering via setup?

My debut with the RB6 has been delayed due to my lack of ball diff building and slipper setting skills. I've watched the how to video that's stickied on this forum but can't seem to replicate the results. I've now completely roached my stock ball diff (on the bench) and will need to start over. I know this may make the purist cringe but what do you guys think of running a gear diff? Keep in mind that I'm a rookie so uber performance (although desired eventually) is not my top priority ATM. I'm all for keeping at it until the ball diff/slipper is setup correctly. Buuut... I'd really like to drive my buggy on the track. The gear diff seems to support my K.I.S.S philosophy. I have parts list for the RTR SC gear diff, I'm hoping that it would fit in the RB6 transmission case.

The ball diff could be a little difficult at first but once you know how to build them then they are easy. I would just bring it with you to your local track and ask someone if they can show you how to build it. Also ask them if they can go over your car before your maiden voyage. Good luck

+1 Find another Kyosho owner or a factory driver to spend 10 minutes going over things and you should be set.

Good luck and have fun.

No. There is no location for the anti roll bar to mount.
