+10 drive a stock 6 and tell me it's not heads above the cars out there. They say the 5 arms free the car up in the rear but they every setup I've seen they're adding more toe to lock it back down. I bought the -1 arms but I'm so in love with how it handles now I won't make the change any any soon.

hey guys, i keep seeing all this talk about y tebo runs the rb5 axle.. he also runs aka wheels. these wheels like the proline wheels have a deeper hex molded into them. so if you run the rb6 front axle with these rims they rub the spindles carrier a little bit. i just dremel the wheel tio make it work with the 6 front axle, if yo measure the rb5 axle with the hex it is in fact the same measurement as the rb 6 one, so really its not changing anything on the car except know he he can run his sponsors rims with zero issues.

So what's the difference in running the rb5 axles, and just putting a spacer behind the rb6 axle?

"the rb5 axle with the hex it is in fact the same measurement as the rb 6 one" - I always thought this was true too?
I use the rb5 with hex for the simple fact I don't have to deal with threadlock.

Ok I assembled my MIP Diff and the cvds. The fit and finish is excellent, the diff is butter smooth. The thrust bearings are confusing, the manual says 6 balls, but my bag had 7 balls so I built it with that many.
Also just to reiterate, the diff outdrives are SAME SIZE as kyosho ones so both Kyosho swing shafts and MIP will work. My assumption was wrong I had thought its thicker pins.
The best was the keyed axles, the hex feels really really solid and true. No weak thin plate to bend now like the regular k hex. I forgot to weigh the MIP diff though but by feel it weighs the same maybe even a bit less with the machining on the outdrives.
PS, I bent my third 720 plate this race glad to see they finally fixed that!!

type reactionYou can see from the first Tebo setup sheet that he does in fact use the medium ball ends presumably to compensate for this difference. When I first put the RB5 arms on with the long ball ends the spring adjustment was backed way out to get my ride height.

yes the first one is like tin. i am curious to know from others why the front is built as it is? why does the aluminum piece exist, and why are the hinge pins not captured by some other part of the front end? As it is designed a thicker bumper would help but maybe there is a performance explanation for not having a thicker bumper. Would it negatively effect the car by having it twice as thick? And why not a carbon fiber plate? I assume it would crack but not faster than the aluminum one bends beyond repair

So I am new to the kyosho experience and wow is it confusing with all the part numbers from the rb5. Finally have the car nearly built and noticed that the rb5 rear arms only come 1 to a pack with one front arm. So I am now waiting for those to come off back order.
What are people that are running these rear arms doing with the rb5 front arms?

So Tebo is running the narrow front track width, but wide front hexes. Since roll center is measured out to the center of the tire contact patch... im not sure what this will accomplish, except maybe let him run a different offset front wheel without drastically changing his track... just a guess.
