The track is on the large side, clay with med to high grip. I have plenty of steering and forward bite. I want the car to have more cornering speed with out the rear end breaking loose and spinning out. The tires are definitely hooking up I feel it is a rear end suspension adjustment. I let a fellow racer run the car for a few laps and was told it had too much steering. I drive his car which is the same car. And it felt like it rolled forward smoother and held corners way better than mine. Does that make sense?

Has anyone used parts from this company on their rb6 or 5? What are your opinions on them?

Sounds more like you have a tire and/or insert issue. Or perhaps a serious setup problem, like something is bound up. Usually when I see newer guys at my track "spinning out"... they are either on brand new tires that aren't broken in yet, inserts that are way too firm, or they have their rear tires on backwards.

So what does the Rb-5 arm on the rear of this car do better than the RB-6 arm?
What characteristics does it change? Definitely looks like it takes rear droop away and makes it flatter. Which would take away rear traction and make car rotate more

I've preferred mid-motor everywhere indoors so far, five different tracks and eight different layouts in the SoCal area since I got the car a couple of months ago. Some were/are pretty loose surfaces and some were very high grip. Haven't raced it outdoors yet.
I'd also add that in MM config, I prefer the kit arms to the 521-1 arms when the grip is lower. I liked the 521-1's at OCRC and West Coast. But that's just me, YMMV.

Yes, about 10 days ago. It seemed pretty loose there that night but it was my first time there. I probably didn't quite have the right tires and/or enough time to break in the right tires so I ended up dialing out steering until it was manageable. Maybe should have taken the 7.5 out and put in a 9.5, as well. It's probably the only indoor track I've ever run where I thought rear motor might be better suited, but they were running it unusually dry according to the locals in preparation for the Top Notch build that's going on today.

Car has lots of potential
