I just bought some carbon fibre brackets to achieve the shock position as per Zack Roger's set up on the rear arm, which avoids the need to drill the extra hole. They cost me AUD $12 delivered. The same guy has supplied me a custom CF chassis for an RB5, a CF top deck for my ZX6 and shock towers for my old XB4. All have been excellent and very durable.
Check out Bezerk RC on FB if you're interested.
The guy's name is Paul Sims and he's the club president of one of our local clubs and invests a lot of time into the hobby. He may be able to make them out of aluminium if you'd rather as I've seen some of his CNC work too.

I would rather have a machined Aluminum piece that I can use as a template. Mounting it to the arm by the sway bar mount and the outside shock hole. One piece and just flip it over for the other side. Better then that, Kyosho start making rear arms with the new hole.

I'm sure we will see some new 3 hole arms soon.

However, until then the exchange rate is great for those in the US. AUD $12 is about $9.50 US and the CF parts can be used as a template too. Alternatively, ask him if he'll do aluminium.

The problem with his version, is that the droop is effected when you mount it on the arm that way. The part I had done has the correct hole alignment so droop isnt affected.

I've seen the brackets you had made and they are sic looking. Best part if you happen to snap an arm you just screw them into the new one and the hole is perfect every time.

Yeah, I had about 6 arms with different distances. 17.7, .8 , .9, .5. I got really frustrated so I decided to make sure it's perfect 100% of the time with no drilling.

Anybody use futaba s9352hv servo or the bls471?

The screw coming out of the CF bracket, that the shock mounts to, is in the same place as where you'd drill the hole on the arm. So I'm not sure what you mean by the droop being effected?

My buggy was awesome for a long time when my track was dry and grooved. Now they have rebuilt it , and I cant drive the dern car. The track is damp clay and cold, with no groove. Last outing I had tebos wet clay set up on it from petite and I couldnt even go full throttle without spinning. I ran the same tires as the winner that night . Most of the set ups i see are for med to high bite clay tracks , anyone point me towards something for damp , no grip tracks ? Thanks in advance ...

good luck with that. It's been brought up so many times on this thread and its not just me.
this car is crap when traction is low.
My other brands MM cars have more forward traction than my RM rb6.

I run on a medium bite track where traction is lacking and I have my car pretty good right now.
