I picked up a set of Lunsford ball studs and then used my tire punch to make the holes in the Kyosho ball cups so I could get the wrench into the ball stud. No issues so far.

The B5 series ball studs are bigger than the B4 so they have new ball cups too. From what I have seen, they are pretty strong too and guys/girls are putting them on their 44.3's.

I actually used Losi 22 series ball studs on my rb6 and then just used a tire punch to make a hole in my stock ball cups. Works great and cheap.

Both. It depends on which way it's put on. I haven't seen anyone use the 30 degree side.

Picked up a used rb6 that was in pretty rough shape this weekend. I've already replaced the front/rear arms. Installed the clear x-rings. New bulkhead and front shock tower. New sideguards and top deck are on order along with the aluminum rear arm mounts. Also ordered the schelle slipper and top shaft for it. Gonna be racing stock with it.



Almost done wiring it up just waiting for the new side guards to come in. I also swapped out the stock ball cups and turnbuckles for some with holes in the ball cups. I'll be swapping over the ball studs today.

Is it better to run a sideways battery or inline battery when you race stock?

I ran it both ways and didn't notice a drastic difference either way. That being said, all the fast guys at my track are running it in-line

i really couldnt tell you. i've never driven an rb6 before. im coming from a b5m and i always ran the batter sideways. but most rb6's i see in at my local track run inline setups.

So i finally got my car ready to go and i weighed it. this is completely rtr with 2.2 tires front and rear. only light weight parts i know of for sure installed on the car are pucks and schelle top shaft and nova slipper. My question is, are these cars always this light? Im coming from a b5m that weighed 1535g with a ton of light weight parts installed...

Mines 1550 with no light weight parts either at all. So I would say it's just a light car.

If you ever get inspected at the track, I'm pretty sure the roar minimum is 1499 grams. Nice looking buggy!

I have one almost new B5M with all the goodies on it, and it's still a tank. Another Purpose built (almost) a lightweight b5m (no aluminum anywhere) and it's not even finished, and nowhere close to being in the 1500s. Should sell em all and run a stock RB6 lol....
