I run one on mine. Works real good especially on my rt5. Just have to do a little grinding and cutting on it to make it fit but it's pretty easy to do.

Its basically droop settings. Longer = more droop possibilities.

Ran the buggy for the first time yest. Holy steering! Was very aggressive. Needed a bit more rear grip, but didn't have the correct tires (slicks) for the track I was running. Made the most of it.
Spoke to the local sponsored guy who was tearing it up. He said He like 521-1RB5 arms on his...Anyone know what the diff are between these and the std RB6 arms?

those arms give up rear traction the stock arms have more imo. where i race people are running the 6 arms on the 5. its all preference

Wear down your front tires more and you will have that push gone.

Nope, I have run AKA Vektor and Rebars fronts in SS. They are push monsters to start, but if you break them down to where the pins are 50% or more worn down you will get steering out of them. Even Gold Barcodes work a lot better worn down vs new. The only tire I havent tried at Suburbs.

I have the new suburbs in m4, they are money out of the box with red aka foams. I just switch the rears these days depending on traction levels and water content on track. The rebars are too tall a tread for even rear tires and hard wearing so gave up on them.

I had good success with rebars with aka red foam out of the box on medium-high traction and they definately get better a they wear.

I would say the better the dirt, the better aka shines

Yeah rebars are way too tall. I take them to the asphalt and burn them in. Sucks but it's the only way to get them good. Once you get the and on them are really good if you need forward bit. They just don't have much sidebite.

Yep. Except for the hot bodies tires I used to have. The carcass is a bit big for red akas to till out, so used jconcepts open cell foams.

Yes front and rear AKA foam. I was worried about loss of traction like many have reported but the 6 is so aggressive. it is PERFECT and as the foam wears in it just gets better, just like the tires.

My track also gets ample traction so I'm never in need of more. I'd like to try JC, Proline, and Sweep at some point but the AKA's are the ticket for my setup and track
