Anyone else had experience with the pucks? I used them on my TLR 22SCT with a 13.5 and the pucks wore out super fast. Thinking of trying them on my RB6 with a boosted 17.5. Black grease on the orange puck works?

I use black grease on the stock components and they have lasted a lot longer then if they were not covered in it. I don't see why it wouldn't work with pucks.

I've been putting just a touch of silicone diff grease on them. Pucks are so cheap and easy to replace I don't bother giving them much service. My setup was all used when I got it and I know I have over 200 runs on them. Only replaced them twice. The end at the axle still looks great. Outdrives still look great. I'm certain the pucks reduce wear in other components. Takes the metal to metal shock out of it.
Kiddo is running 17.5 with his RB6 now and I'm thinking of trying the all aluminum setup. He's not super smooth just yet and still puts it in the pipe some times so I may just stick with the steel for now.

actually i had a set of red aluminum exotek shock mounts from someone that i wont run because i dont run aluminum on aluminum. so i cut them with a cut off wheel and used the nut.they are wider and i liked the red for this buggy. also i hve these black plastic shock mounts from the rb5 that have a built in 2mm spacer that i like to use. with this the shock i at a straight up and down angle

I recently went with the entire MIP kit for the RB6 including the dif and I've been pretty impressed with it thus far. Black greased the snot out of the pucks and reapply it after every race day. I've talked to a few guys that do this maintenance regularly and have driven over a year on the same pucks still with virtually no wear to the out drives. Seems good to me.

Anyone ever tried zero antisquat?

Is this in reference to the new 2015 chassis? I have the older chassis and was told it was okay to mill down the sides of it and it will be ok. I'm thinking I want to do the same when I get the new car built but know I will need a stiffener at that point.

if anyone is interested i build my 17.5 car last week and i mounted the rear shock tower using 4, 2mm spacers to move the tower forward so that i could change the inner ballstud height. (losi allen driven ballstuds) this mod makes it so u do not need t disassemble the entire rear of the car to make a change. i also used 4, 2mm spacers to space the wing mount back so that its in its original position because i would be farther forward with the tower spaced forward. it held up fine and did not change the handling of the car much if at all. i dont find that i move that ballstud location often but i do like to be able to have that option open tome and anything that makes the car easier to tune is a upgrade in my opinion. hope everyone is loving their rb 6 as much as myself and good luck to all the red samurai drvers out there

Yep, I'm just talking about the orange part...obv need diff dogbones for mod motors. I got like 2 race days before the orange wore out of my brand new system, I ended up tearing up the out drive because I didn't notice the puck worn out already. It went metal on metal

MIP just released a new shinny puck system. I just got them a few days ago. Not sure if they have even advertised it yet. But it is made for mod setups. It uses their metal shinny setup but uses a softer metal round puck that rides in the drive cups. Suppose to last 10 times longer than the orange pucks do. I installed into my new SC6 truck with 10.5 mod motor. Looks awesome.
Like everyone had mentioned, you need to run grease on the pucks. Even these new metal ones.
