For now, I am starting with my own "general purpose medium traction clay" type setup, going strictly off my own knowledge and experience setting up almost every buggy out. I will develop one based off the kit parts (i.e. not running rb5 arms), and as soon as I have one dialed in to my liking, I will post my sheet up on my website and make changes to it as I go. I will certainly post a link here! I may run the car for the first time tomorrow... or I might wait till the nortwest gold cup, this weekend. Im excited to get some clay time in with this car... its gorgeous.

Package tags say "Always the Best"
Too bad the manual isn't.

Finished my build late last night...man this is the best car I have ever assembled hands down!
What's the story with the play on the upper side of the shocks? Any solutions there? Should I just leave the excessive play or tighten the plastic more?
I went with saddles side by side...has anyone tried all the battery configurations yet? What's the verdict?

Hey Jason, Im guessing you're running stock at WCRC. I ran my car here for the first time in a big race and found it a bit pushy (I had a lot of Tebos on it, so that didnt help). Are yhou running the stock arms with 1 hole or 2? I think for stock we won't have to mess with some of the rear end as much, and it feels super planted with the stock parts right now.
I'm going to try to race again tomorrow, hopefully practice quite a bit, but I also ran the car soft. 32.5 27.5 like my RB5. Going to try 35/30 tomorrow if I get the chance.

I am running the rb6 rear arms flipped to the 1 hole side. If you're using the stock pistons, I would run 37.5f 32.5r.

Yea running stock, but lap time wise I am pretty close to the mod lap times, just harder to do those really fast laps back to back with traffic and battling.

I am working on a setup sheet that I will have posted soon.
I am currently geared (5.33fdr I am using 64 pitch gears to achieve this, 43 pinion 88 spur) for a big triple at WC right now, so the car has a lot of power higher in the rpm range (not much torque), which means if you slow down to much in a corner or scrub speed it takes a little more to get going, or it might be harder to clear a jump if you don't keep the speed up.
I used some pretty worn barcodes on the runs I posted, but have since started breaking in a new set of suburbs mc. gold barcodes up front.

I'm only halfway thru the build, and not counting my mistakes, the build is not as straightforward and smooth as the RB5 IMHO. Mistakes in the manual don’t help: Step 12, the orientation of the ball cups showned on the steering tie rod and front upper rod are reversed. And surely having 3L at both ends of the steering tie rod, with the distance between them at 21mm, the ball ends are now fully screwed in with no room to maneuver, and when you attach to the car, you still have huge toe-in. I am guessing this is a misprint, you need a 3L with LL, or both LL even.
