You know Mr. King, it says in the manual to put it in the front.

No, I don't know of many people that intentionally run rebound anymore.

Can I get a newbie explanation for 0 rebound?
I've read the same for my TA-05 that no rebound is preferable. Is that because the spring does all the 'rebound'?
Also for no rebound do we just push the piston all the way up when re-assembling the shock?

Secondly, make sure the holes in the arms and bulkhead are not too tight for the hinge pin. Sometimes, you will need to take an xacto blade and make the holes larger, so that the hinge pins can move freely. Just be careful not to make them too large. A body reamer will also work well for this task. I would also check to make sure that your hinge pins are inserted in the front bulkhead/arms in the proper orientation. There is a long and short segment on either side of the space for the set screw. I believe the short side goes in first, while the long side is up front and captured by the hinge pin brace ( I could be mistaking on the direction, defer to your manual to make sure). Also, make sure your set screw is not overtightened, if it is, this will bind up the arms. I had absolutely no binding when I built this car...hopefully this helps.
I did the first 2 things and i guess what is causing the binding is the fact that, when i inserted the little screw which prevents the hinge pin to come out of place, the whole where the hinge pin is supposed to get in is tightened like if the plastic of the screw hole comes to this second hole (where the hinge pin goes). It's quite hard to explain ahahah

I'll use an arm reamer or some other hardware to get some plastic off... This does not happen in an Xray kit for example... It's my first Kyosho though.

Thanks people

With a non-bladder shock, it's pretty much impossible to get any rebound if you build the shock correctly. You either can push the shaft in the whole way with no rebound, or the shock will hydraulic because there is no bladder to compensate for the increased volume (the volume of the shock shaft itself) inside the shock body.

Some more Yoshi love.
Finally sprayed the body after 2 weeks of running a stickered up body Red seems to be the thing now, so i went another route.

Not too sure what you mean with the set screw, just make sure it is not too tight so that the hinge pins can freely move. Xray kits do have an incredible fit and finish, but I found my rb6 to be on par with my Xray 808. Anyway, good luck.

The turnbuckles are the same between the 5 and 6. I used these on the 5, and they should work fine on the 6.

After you have bled your shocks, compress the shock all the way by holding onto the eyelet. If it does not move down at all when you release it; then you have 0 rebound. If the shaft moves down; then you have rebound. As others have stated, most do not run rebound. Watch the video on how to build kyosho shocks. To achieve no rebound when you are building your shocks; bleed out enough oil that when it is compressed fully, the piston is not pushed down at all. Just make sure that a consistent amount of resistance is felt when moving the piston though the shock body with no spring on it. You can incorrectly build a shock with no rebound because there is not enough oil to fill the body and resist the motion of the piston throughout its full travel.

Hey guys. I am on step 10 and have a quick question....the Japanese set up calls for a caster block setting of 4 degrees. Is that achieved by using the hub bushings (a4 and b4)?

Thanks.
