Interesting. Was it just the behind the backplate part that fit? Or u even got a snug fit on front shaft part? If its the backplate part, maybe i need to try again and squeeze it on harder. I dont like putting too much pressure on the shaft out of fear of bending it. Also, did u have to remove the kyosho brass spacer? And if so did u shim the gap? And was the behind backplate fitment really snug/tight requiring force? Thanks Mike!
I tightened it good, I did leave the brass shim in, as the elim doesn't fit to replace it.

Is it possible to get a jcon finisher c4.2 body on a rb6 mid motor? I just got a fresh lid for my c4 and then decided to get a rb6. Hoping it will fit.

At a glance I would say it is likely. I know a rb6 body will fit a b5r (I tried it) and a lot of people are using centro bodies on the b5r.

Thanks for the feedback. I will probably put back the stock axel then.

Easier.

Hey guys, I was seriously having some traction issues with my mid motor rb6 with our recent track rebuild. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't good. I didn't want to go to a lighter spring in the rear (running golds) so I opted to go with 1mm more front droop. This got me the on power traction I was missing, and a significant amount of low speed steering as well. Since I am running the 5 hole pistons in the front, I went up in oil to 37.5 from 35 to calm the front down on corner entry. I then lowered the rear roll center (no washers on the hubs) for a bit more off power traction in slow sections.

Been really happy with these changes. Definitely a good move for our slow low speed and slippery layout that would probably deal better with a rear motor car.

I'm still not clear on how to replace the slipper.

Also, does anyone know how much weight in grams the puck system eliminates?

Ciao,
If you're breaking axles maybe these might work?

Personally I think it depends more on track type, layout and driving style more then anything else. See how the fast guys at your track are running it. If you have a heavy trigger finger and enter the corners very aggressively then Rm will be more forgiving, if your a smooth fluid driver then I think MM will be advantageous to use.
