Wouldn't you need to run the Tamiya screw and thrust washers as they are different to K? I bought some TRF HC thrust balls and the washers need a thinner screw. This is for the 201 and ff03

Very nice sir. You'll excuse me if I copy the idea. Would match my bulldog rb5 and fit in the arsenal. Cheers,

Nope, my RB6 is fast as hell with a 70 tooth Losi spur and 33 tooth pinion (getting colder outside so peg that timing on the motor), was pulling on B4's all night long last Wednesday. This car isn't a DEX210 which is impossible to get going in stock. Plus it's so smooth even if your losing a bit of ground on the straight's you'll make it up in the infield cause the car is so much better balanced then anything else on the market. I can point and shoot with no spinout in the rear and plenty of on and off power steering. This was on a track with brand new tires, closed cell inserts, and no barely no break in time. Track was hard as a rock, everyone was spinning out at the end of the small straight that goes into a 180 degree turn, my RB6 just whipped around it like it wasn't there.

I ran one on my rb5 a few months (maybe a year) ago. fit snug, worked exactly like it should have. it may not have been from the 201. I saw it on the rack and tried it on the diff screw and it worked perfect. it was definitely a diff nut and it had a diff screw in the bag. never used the screw.

Old habits die hard, but has anyone used the x-gear grease and lube instead of AE grease and lube? And is it better? My diff is unbelievably smooth but if the x-gear is better i'll tear it down and rebuild before I take it out again.

I had the same experience with my rb6 today running 17.5.

took 3rd unfortunatly but set tq for the day in a class against b4.1's, ran a d3.5 69/31 with timing cranked.
I took 3rd which was completely my fault had a few bobble's.


if anyone's on the fence about buying one, pull the trigger its worth it

Cant wait to see what they do with the new Stadium Truck and Short Course. Both supposedly based off of the RB6 platform.
