i'd expect no less from Big Red.
while i'm on here, is there any one that is running AKA Vektors on indoor dirt/clay? we have such good traction that we can really run any indoor type of tire. its all about finding the feel your looking for, right now i have barcodes front and rear and the car is good but i like to free up the rear.
the rear is glued and isn't slowing the car down any but i like to brake late have the car rotate more (not quite drift) thru the corner rather than braking early like the pack.. i find my laps are faster and more consistant when i run this way, and i'm able to take more positions.
i guess its just a feel thing.. i think my setup is spot on.

Any other parts on this car been breaking except the wheels?
I know Kyosho wheels are not very durable. Heck people around here
were breaking the wheel on the Ultima SCT, it's mainly the back wheels that break. After a hard landing kiss the back wheel goodbye.

Just some swipes at pipes sometimes the wall/paneling if indoors. Hits which any wheel should shrug off normally. I have had chunks of plastic come off of the many K wheels I got. Like big gashes and stuff. Never cracked one though, I feel its nylon is too soft not brittle at all.

Does this car handle like the 22? The 22 was terrible, really loose. The layout looks very similar thats my reason for asking.

But of course, those were my fault. My other wheels, that did not hit immovable objects, are just fine.

I run them on my FS2sp.
Used the threaded 5.8mm balls from the touring car shock tops (can't remember the number) screwed inside the front of the arm and a short shock bottom on the ARB drop link.
The RB6 UM713 rear arms allow a very interesting tuning option on the ZX5-FS2sp ... remember how sensitive this car is to wheelbase!!
I certainly won't b going back to LAW43 arms!

Id be the ultimate car against them.

MM in low grip
My home astroturf track (Kidderminster, Uk) is like driving on ice when it's wet but with the RB6 in MM and a few tweaks it was able to drive into & out of the turns with the best of the RM cars in mod (we don't race stock classes in the UK). No other mid motor car was putting the power down as well.
Reason I mention this is the guy running MM on clay might not be as mad as some of you guys think ... try it you, might be shocked.
I was going to change to RM for the first qualifier as it was SO slippery but ran out of time ... a few quick tweaks, just the usual stuff you'd do to chase traction and drop front end bite, and she was awesome.
RB6 just keeps getting better and better!
