10 inches per wire is more than enough and will most likely need to be trimmed down depending on the orientation of your esc and motor tabs.

Will last you a few years of wiring cars, and is the best wire you can use. Cut to exact lengths for a nice clean install... You can thank me later

Wet noodle is fantastic wire but another great wire to checkout is TQ racing, it's super flexible and in my opinion better suited for 1/10 buggies due to it being considerably smaller than deans. http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...e-Wire-Black-3

I sold my 22 now just waiting for my RB6 to arrive to see what this is like.
The first page has a huge amount of info which has helped me out a lot already in understanding the car and
even looking thru the instruction manual some of the build steps that look a little confusing.

I plan to just build the car as the kits set up and go from there but looking into upgrade parts and
does anyone know much about the following hangers and what the different bushings will do e.g. anti-squat, toe, width?
(I do apologise if this has been covered but couldn't find any posts on it or I just missed them )

Hello kyosho brothers, I will have a rb6 at the end of the month. What all spur gears fit the rb6, all I found was 76 -78 .
Servos I think I want a low profile servo, I been running savox I saw a 1251mg an a 1252mg. What do u guys think of these servos?

Last question, I am going to buy new lipos either regular size or shorty lipo. Which should I go with?

Those suspension holders allow you to adjust width and/or toe-in. Anti-squat is still adjusted via shims under the hangers. I put them on my car a few weeks ago and cannot fault their fit & finish at all. Here's a bit more information here. If I get time in the next few days I'll scan in the eccentrics chart they provide with the hangers.

Good luck with the new RB6.

I use Avid slipper and full size servo. Someone else will need to answer those questions.

In regards to the battery everyone I've seen use the full size battery in rear motor configuration has eventually moved to the shorty, thus I would encourage you to try the shorty if running rear motor. I personally use SMC's 4300mAh shorty but there are good shorties from other companies.

You can use the same spur as the B4 if you use the B4's slipper pads as well.

I like the Savox servos. I would use a full-sized servo with the RM config and a low-profile with the MM. The low-profile is used in MM to give you more space up front to mount the ESC and receiver.

I would just get a shorty. This will allow you to mount the receiver on the chassis behind the servo (depending on where you position the battery). In the MM config, I would run a saddle. I ran my MM with a shorty but the car felt light with it. It felt much better with a saddle pack.

What's the advantage of going with an Avid slipper clutch VS Stock?

I like the stock slipper with the with the KYOUM572 SP2 WC set up.

This is a replacement Kyosho Slipper Spring Set, and is intended for use with the Kyosho Ultima RB5 SP2 WC and SC-R SP 1/10 scale vehicles. This slipper spring set allows finer slipper adjustments for more traction and consistent slipper operation. This set up is the shit . I tried the avid with the avid top shaft and it only lasted one pack it was loud that's might be just my experience.

Brant,
you're supposed to be loaded up and on your way to Chico. No time for posting. LOL.

In all seriousness, I have that slipper set up (kyoum572) and it's pretty nice.

Thanks again guy's.
Those are extra 3/16" axle shims for running the Triad in a B44.1 and the thick washer is a spring spacer for Losi drivers if the have the "long" topshaft. For the RB6, you won't need any of those.
