Good, mine still aren't broken in yet. Just wish there was a 3rd option out there. Kind of tires of paying for the same ole tires over and over again.

Here is a video of Kyosho factory driver Andy Dibrino running his RB6 for the first time. He starts from the TQ spot. I am running an RB5 with +13 chassis starting second, for comparison.

Most guys at my local track are running the shorty. Very responsive.

I'm running the Peak 90c 5000mah stick for the time being. Besides going up in weight in the rear shock oil to compensate for the weight... It didn't feel much different than the shorty. It definitely is more responsive with the shorty and I feel like overall it does everything better with the shorty. That being said, I was still turning some fast laps with the stick.

This is on a low to medium bite topsoil/clay mix.

I tried a brand new set of Hot Bodies Beam rear pink compound and HB Fullslot fronts pink compound tonight. Not too shabby. They're not broken in yet but they felt pretty good. They'll probably work well once they're fully broken in. Usually I run M4 Suburbs all around or Blue V1 Barcodes all around at my track.

Here you go. After I cut the battery brace it will be even easier to get to. But for now i can easily get to it with my asian fingers.

Haven't painted the body yet, I have a few more customers bodies to paint first. Maybe if NorCal has a body in stock so i can do a quickie. Im sure I will find a way to drive this beast on Saturday. Ill have my b4.1 fitted with a 17.5 to battle you in the mean time. The RB6 will stay a mod only car. Drove it on the street and this car is sooo smoothhhhhh.

Steering Rack, plastic suspension carriers are breaking.

Make sure you build the steering rack correctly, arrow on the bottom of the rack facing forward, yes it makes a difference.

I would like to see a nice carbon fiber steering rack.
