Just picked one of these kits up for a little change of pace.
The track is indoor - clay - 70x40ft. I plan to run the kit box stock until I get a feel for it, then make adjustments/upgrades as necessary.
Couple of questions:
1. Mid vs. Rear - what are most people going with on this type of surface? I've seen indoor track setups running mid, but most clay tracks running rear. Going to be running Gold Barcodes front/rear as it is the popular choice at the track.
2. Gearing - 13.5 blinky/boosted gearing - Reedy 13.5 - what is a good starting point for both? Looking to pick up a range of pinons. 76T is the stock spur right? I have no problem tuning to temp, just looking for a start.
3. I've read some posts that mention getting the rear aluminum suspension holders, but I've seen narrow and wide .. what is the stock replacement?
Thanks in advance.

2) Yes, 76 is stock. Not sure about gearing, I think someone suggested 28?
3) Wide is stock. Change to narrow for more rear grip. Read back a couple of pages about this.

+1 i was always nervous about building shocks (OCD), i'd have to do it 2-3 times before i liked where they were. i build KYO shocks in my sleep now. super easy, super consistent.

The only piece I have broken is the rear camber plate (where the rear inner ball stud attaches). I have seen this piece broken on 3 separate cars (and yes- all 3 were using the set screws on either side of the ball stud), so that might be a good part to carry as a spare as well. I have since installed the exotek aluminum version.

Having come from a B4.1 to an RB6. I run the Jconcepts mono wheels. Both fronts and rears work well. The fronts have an almost identical offset but the wheels have a deeper hex in them. I have had them bind a little with the stock RB6 axles. I just run a Tamiya 1/2mm touring car spacer. I am now switching to the RB5 axles with hexes as most of the local team guys (Joe Pillars, Shuan Dunlap, and Andy Dibrino) have done. The rears have about a 1/2mm deeper offset. So if you do not space them the rear will be about 1mm narrower than with Kyosho wheels.
As far as stock motor gearing. I usually gear 33 or 34/72 using associated or now Avid triad gears. I run full timing on a D3.5.

I'm having trouble getting way too much rebound in them. Maybe you guys can give me some pointers on exactly how to do them. I try to get them perfect, they just seem to take me way too long. Thanks

I run them on my car on a medium to low grip track. I thought it made the rear much softer. When i first put the arms on the car the rear was rolling over so much i was losing traction so I had to go to a stiffer rear spring and mess with my camber links to take roll out of my car. The car tunes a lot more like a rb5 now.
