Agree, it looks awesome - love CF. However, if you have to undo 4 screws plus a turnbuckle screw just to change batteries...sheesh.
(I know...first world problems...)
...I'll probably still get one.

Needs shock posts. Anyone know if the zx6 and rb6 aluminum shock posts are the same size? Links below

You take your battery out to charge? hehehe... I like that it will allow better battery placement. My electronics are very cramped up front. Should have gone with a KO radio instead of the 4PX. Indeed first world problems.

I own a 6.6 laydown and standup running stock. Prefer it to all buggies I've had thus far. Have not driven it mod yet. Does this buggy have the forward grip of the b6 and other competitors in MOD using the 3 gear laydown? I've noticed a recent trend that a lot of people runnning mod with a laydown are running 4 gear. Wondering why that is. Considering trading my b6 for another 6.6 to run solely in Mod

How was the 4 gear? Thx
I'm going to try the 4 gear laydown with the shocks mounted in front today. Its dry in Socal so LRH wont be as high bite as it usually is. Hoping to get more forward bite out of the car without it washing out so easily. I did stuff 15 grams of weight under the transmission as it says on Tebos setup. Will report back in. Track should be dry with a bit of dust build up after the 2nd hour they are open.

As I figured, when the track was drying up, when the winds kicked up, moving to tread and 4 gear with really good, felt way more planted, and I didn't necessarily notice much loss in corner speed. I need to correctly prep some tread for when those types of conditions happen, but it was definitely miles better then 3 gear, car would wash out the rear end very easily. I've got the parts to build both transmissions for a quick change, so i'll be ready for next race day.

What is the weight bias of the rb6.6.
I just did my rb6 and I got 38/62
My b5m lite is 36/64.
Just wondering what the 6.6 is in Stock form.
Thank you

Currently have an rb6, absolutely love the way it drives however the rear grip is really lacking and struggle to get forward bite outta the turns for the tracks I run on, medium grip at best to low/loose outdoor tracks. Is the new chassis and side guards make a significant difference compared to the original chassis?? I run mod so I'm already running 4 gear stand up, rf brass weight etc just chasing some grip, thanks guys.
I was quite astounded by the improvement. Ran on a really low grip blown out track yesterday and had quite good results.

Does anyone know where I can find a db2 chassis. I need a new one. Or used doesn't matter as long as the rear holes aren't worn out past being good. Mine let go and I just got the car where I really am liking it

2hole or 3hole pistons
Anyone running 1.4 3 hole pistons or any 3 hole pistons vs 2 hole? What practical effect have you noticed on the buggy? Thx
02-05-2017, 03:12 AM
More holes make the initial pack more resistant then it becomes a softer feel due to turbulence in the oil basically the 3x1.4 is in between a 2x1.6 and a 2x1.7.
02-05-2017, 11:37 AM
I have a laydown rb6.6....Practically speaking, would moving from 1.6x2 all around to 1.4x3 give me less traction as the pack goes up...1.4x3
02-06-2017, 04:08 AM
No more traction the initial pack is more kinda the first input into the shock it stalls movement more then gets softer. U could try making a 3x1.3 to do what your looking at or try a 2x1.5. Are u looking for less traction for or rear and in what situation?
02-06-2017, 07:35 AM
Looking for more traction, sidebite and coming out of the corner on power. First Time running the laydown 6.6 with a mod Motor. Have no traction issues in stock but haven't put down serious power...I have these vrp eu pistons that do not come in 1.7 2 hole rear so was debating to go 1.4 3hole rear with the 2x1.6 fronts, 2x1.6 all around, .or just 1.4 3 hole all around. Track runs electrons in med bite clay. Thx for the help
