Anybody have a problem with the rear camber link clearing the hub at full compression when using the outer hole?

Yeah, that can happen. If you raise the camber link on BOTH ends by a mm, it won't change your roll center too much, and it should clear. Or you can shave the ballcup to clear. (i think)

I take that advice back about shaving the ballcup... it says right here on page 5 of the manual:

"To avoid causing irreparable damage, do NOT attempt any modifications".

Are the shocks on the RB6 different from the ones on the RB5 besides the aluminum top cap?

There is a difference between the Kyosho and JC wings. I have found the Kyosho wings to be more brittle and prone to tearing than the JC. Having said that, I feel like the Kyosho wings function much better.
I ran the B4.1 WC car for about 3 months, switched back to the RB5, and now run the RB6. Hands down, the RB6 is the smoothest car I have owned, and I have had them all. I feel that the RB6 has more on/off power steering and corner speed than the B4.1; not by a huge margin, but definitely noticeable. I will also mention that the RB6 navigates corners with a great deal of fluency and composure, which just makes it easy to drive. As far as traction is concerned, I would say the B4 and the RB6 are on equal grounds, never had any complaints in this department with either car. The RB6 is a very balanced car, consequently, it jumps and handles the rough sections better than the B4.1. Another big factor when I choose a car is durability. I work so much that when I do have free time, I don't want to spend all of it doing maintenance on my rc cars. The B4.1 required so much attention to keep in a "race ready" state; my actual driving time was cut in half. There really is no comparison between Kyosho and Associated quality. If you are going to be at either the AZ states race or SIGP, send me a PM.

If I remember right, my WC big bores came with the x-ring seals, but the RB6 comes with standard silicone o-rings. Those and the caps are the only two differences I noticed in the shocks.

I prefer the standard o rings as have found the x rings bind. They were perfect in my 511.

Crap in std Kyosho shocks.

Iv used the Xrings and Orings in my big bores... Both are equally smooth, neither let any dirt in, and neither let any oil out... neither seem to stick.

Ok cool that's what I thought. I couldn't figure out why one set of big bore shocks cost more than the other besides the fact one was blue anodized and the other was gunmetal anodized on infernos only dot com.

Please add "www dot infernosonly dot com" to the front of each half link below to view. I guess I'm not allowed to post actual links cause I don't have enough post...

Am I missing something???

Yep.. the blue colored shock kits and pieces are all cheaper because that color was being discontinued. Functionally, they are the same.
