haha i dint use em yet hurts pls add the 3m part number as well. I try to buy from amazon to avoid the rc tax like AE and upgrade puts on their chassis protectors . I used to use this roll before skateboarding slip tape

http://www.amazon.com/SLIP-TAPE-1HAA...ords=slip+tape. But it cannot be reused and is not very compliant around little protrusions like screws which are not quite flush.

I dont disagree that it is thin. Its just the fact that I'm one of 5 people running the car at my local track and I havent seen this happen yet. I just dont want the people who are interested in the RB6 to get the wrong impression about the quality of the K car.

I've ran mine 1 day for about 30 minutes of practice and it looks very similar to 'powerslave'.

Outdoor dry track, large triple that I was double/singling and 8 pack on the back stretch.

The gearbox is making an outline on the chassis.

Wow that sucks! I'm going to come up with some sort of skid plate for mine. Also if anyone is looking for another option for a body, I'm using the proline bulldog for the durango DEX410. It's a near perfect fit. I will try to post pics as soon as I figure it out Im new to this forum.

I also noticed after a couple of race days my chassis looks like the pictures posted . Its like its a perfect square that needs cut out, kind of how the B4 tranny sits in rear t plate.
I've made a few changes to my setup. http://www.petitrc.com/setup/kyosho/...ceway20121013/ I went to 2.5mm on bump steer washers on spindle. That seems to be the zero bump steer mark. White springs in front, # 2 hole on front camber link, and added another 1mm limiter for a total of 2mm in rear shocks. This made the car easier to drive with faster lap times. If any of you guys try this setup, give me feed back to make better.

"By the way, in a pinch, you can always order the strc ones off amain. They are cheaper, and should work just as well. Plastic bushings still needed."


strc doesnt make the wide rf blocks i emailed them and as of right know they have no plans on making them, just a heads up

I could be wrong but I think the kit comes with two rf, the thicker updated one and the old one. I believe the old one will still work.
