they keep the rear of the car on the ground. I just think kyosho put the reds in the kit because that's what tebo, and we all have run since the big bore shocks came out on the RB5. everybody here switched to golds and everybody noticed improvement in some area of the driving experience of the car. mine was the rear end lifting off the ground slightly in the bumpy bits with the Japanese setup, and pretty thick oils.

Loving the car so far. I put it through the ringer this weekend on a tight technical track and a loose dry track outdoors. I did break the front toe block in the rear in practice the first couple times on the track but then put an aluminum one and no issues. My buddy broke a rear ball cup off in the main with his. Other than that a very good first impression of the buggy. The smoothest steering buggy I've driven so far. The jumping couldn't be easier. I wish I had some .5 hubs for the outdoor track as I was a little loose.
I used Kyo Pink springs front rear and loved it on the indoor technical track. The car was fantastic through every part I just never did every part fantastic in the same lap, lol. I drive on several "crappy" tracks so never is any buggy really "dialed" where we race but this one has all the potential one could hope for.

No, just changed the springs. Did not change on-power steering from what I felt. Reds just feel too stiff on this car. I know the other drivers I know who have the car are testing the WTS Orion batteries in it now to find optimal balance. I have made one change from the Japanese setup that was suggested and that was to add another 1mm ball stud washer on the rear inner ball stud to lower the roll center. Will have to see what that does to it.

in the 1st action shots you can see Tebo is running the car with them, i'm sure this is before he mounted the RB5 arms, i'm starting my car off this way.

Have you tried Gold springs in the rear, or are you still running red? I noticed with Red springs in the rear the back of my car would actually hop just a tad off the track and lose contact in the more bumpy areas. Changed to gold and that went away and traction came back. Only change I have made to the car from the Kyosho Japan starting setup.
I'll also mention during practice last week, we ran the track dry which was high bite, I put on yellow springs in the rear and 0 degree hubs; my car was unstoppable. I am very pleased with this car to say the least.

I know the 22 and RB6 are 2 different animals, but I have been noticing folks have been mounting the battery (fullsize) a lot more forward than what can be done in the 22. The 22 wheelbase is 286mm and RB6 is 285mm.
Curious the results with this configuration. Lot of steering? Less traction?

I found the same. I prefer the white springs over gold on a low/med bite track. The reds were too bouncy and the golds were too soft. What pistons are you using? I've only tired 5 hole Kyosho springs but plan on experimenting with some losi pistons this week.

K shocks but cant believe people like losi cars? If you want to run 55 pistons then buy the Kyosho blank pistons and custom drill them to 4 x 55 holes.
Part number for Kyosho blank pistons: W5303-08
