Hahahaha... Irony - Yesterday my wife asked if that was a new Amain shirt. Of course I told her "no", but she went up and counted I had 5 (long sleeve and short sleeve) amain shirts.

I'm not calling anyone names but look at some of the hop-up prices, i.e. hubs.. I choose speedtech for parts for this reason

Finally got to drive my RB6 last night! AWESOME!!! I started with the Japan set-up and had a little off power push in the corners. I lowered the shock weight in the front from 37.5 to 32.5 thinking that the cold weather may effect the dampening. PERFECT now! Gobbs of steering! Chassis spacer worked like a charm with no problems.

Probably a typo due to them just replacing the 5 with a 6.

I'd also like that price in the US. That is about $358.

i've seen some of the parts listed as RB6 sp and they are just standard parts.. i think they are copy/pasting and not finishing the job

It's only 3000mah. You will hit such a voltage disadvantage over the length of your run, it will be a net loss for lap times.

since lipos don't have a such a large voltage drop off as NiMah would it drop that much percentage wise?

Yep. You would come off the track after a 6 minute run at 7 volts flat, and my 6500 would come off at 8. You are better off saving weight somewhere else, and keeping the highest mah battery you can run. (for 17.5 racing). YMMV
