Lutz runs for durango. Really? A .2 already? I figured on a Worlds edition or something.

gear diff
Thinking of giving the rear diff a try what weight diff fluid should I try?

Took my new RB6 out tonight for the first time. Here are my first impressions. Shocks wow these things are nice! It steers way better than the 22 I was borrowing from a friend. Easier to drive in almost all sections of the track. I was told by another racer at the track that he picked up a second on his lap times by switching from a AE4.2 to a RB6. While I thought that he was full of $h!t I went ahead and got my first Kyosho. Low and behold when the dust settled I was a second faster. I have owned Losi's for the past 20 years on and off so this is a new side of things for me. I was going to wait for the 22 2.0 but after talking to the team drivers I was less than impressed. They acted like I was interfering with what they had going on. (Even though they are more than helpful on this forum) But Cody Tuner went out of his way to find me and thank me after I turn marshaled for him. So Kyosho sold one kit to a happy customer via the personable driver that they sponsored. Thank you Cody for not being an ass. I wound have been building a 22 2.0 tomorrow had it went a little bit different.
Btw I used the shims from the scte diffs that they no long use to shim the losi 55 pistons during my build. If you guys have anyone at the track that is buying the new scte diff cases then they will no longer need the shims which fit the shocks perfectly.

Cody has always been one of the most helpful guys I have ever raced with

Hey guys,
i have bought an Rb6 a few days ago and I got it a few minutes ago. I wanted to ask this question a few times in the last days but forgot it.
WHich gearing would you suggest? I am using an LRP 8,5t engine, track is not that highspeed, it should have a good topspeed but also a gut accel.

You should be good with 23/76, unless your track is very short and twisty then 22/76.

Alright. I have a bit of a conundrum. I am building my rb6 kit, and haven't built a kit since my original Losi JRX2. I used a regular pair of coarse pliers when building the front turnbuckles, along with a turnbuckle wrench. All of the front plastic pieces are fairly well scuffed from the pliers. Certainly usable, but a little bit ugly. I subsequently build the rears using a wrench on the plastic parts. They turned out beautifully! Now. Do I give in to vanity and go back and rebuild the fronts with new plastic pieces? I can always use the current ones as back ups.
