I have the 2015 Kyosho RB6 kit. Do I have the wider chassis?
Are the MIP pucks worth getting? I run 6.5T MOD racing.
One more question, is the RZ6 worth getting? I know it comes with alot of nice upgrades. Like , aluminum braces, and hinge pin holders etc. Etc. Or should I wait on a new kit?
And, I've noticed my ball diff is tight . It doesn't bark. But, if I rotate one wheel the other does not rotate the other direction. If I hold both wheels and rotate the opposite directions it is smooth. But, not super smooth or anything.

so, are the MIP pucks worth buying? I like the idea that there is no play in them but, not sure if they can hold the low turn MOD motors

I thought the puck system was for stock class(17.5) not sure they would hold up to a low turn mod.

There are two kinds of pucks:
1) Standard pucks with aluminum diff outdrives, aluminum C-CVD bones designed for stock racing with 17.5 turn motors.
2) Bi-metal pucks with a keyed joint made of hardened alloy steel that connects to a 7075 hard anodized aluminum driveshaft that can handle modified (does this need ALL CAPS? MOD?) motors. No real rotational weight savings with the bi-metal pucks.
Some guys run the bi-metal pucks in mod. I personally would go for pucks in stock racing and would pass on bi-metal pucks for mod.

I have no experience with the puck system with mod motors but I wanted to highly suggest putting some black grease on the pins that go into the outdrive. This will help prevent excessive wear on the pins and the outdrives.

Like the other guys said, mainly stock guys use the pucks, Mip does make a standard cvd polished set.. I run the stock bones but avid axles for strength..

Great advice right here. If you grease the driveshaft pins, the outdrives and pins will last a very long time. I usually clean and re-grease every couple race days to prevent any dust/dirt from building up as well.

MOD does not need caps my phone does that automatically. Why would that bother someone..
I use purdy paint brushes to keep my cars spotless after each run. More expensive brushes. But they don't wear out like cheap ones.
I'm going to skip the MIP pucks.

MIP quit making replacement parts for the RB6 pucks kits so if you break an axle or wear one out your kinda screwed. There are no more to be had that I have found. I have found a way to adapt AVID axles to MIP drive shafts but the spacing is different so I'm forced to run narrow on the rear arm hanger width.

I should add though, I'm still a huge fan of the pucks system. I got my sons RB6 used over a year ago and it had pucks on it. We've raced it nearly every weekend since. At 7 to 10 battery packs on a race day that's over 400 runs a year. The outdrives and drive shafts still look perfect. 3 dollars worth of plastic pucks every couple months and it's good as new. That's why I went to the trouble of making AVID axles work with MIP drive shafts.

The MIP pucks system looks really clean when it's installed but, the stock ones are super strong. None bent or broken so far I'm sticking with the stock cvd setup.
