Yes I've run them in front and it was good also. On our current layout we have a lot of 180s so I pushed them forward.

Exactly why I was thinking about moving the arms forward. I race on a tight 180 styled track. Good to know. Thanks.

the hinge pins that connect the toe blocks have a 2 mm spacer in front of the arms standard. King posted a set up sheet that showed that he put the 2mm spacer behind the arms on those hinge pins thereby moving the arms forward. Not talking about the hub placement at all. I'm interested in what this will do. I have a feeling about what is going to happen but i want to give it a shot.

Well I tried the new Triad slipper yesterday. While I was at it i rebuilt the diff. Man I have been struggling with diffs lately. They just don't hold up and I figured I was doing something wrong in the build/break in process.

I had Cody Turner help me and, teach me and make sure I was doing everything right. What a difference. The whole night the car ran great with really good consistency. I am not all that good but a the Triad is nice because it seems to stay adjusted and consistent throughout each race and the entire night.

Having a dialed and adjusted diff and slipper makes all the difference in the world especially for a sportsman.

Thanks to Cody. He is the real deal and Kyosho should feel lucky to have him representing their brand.

The other thing to note was the spur size. I have been running 76/21 and when I purchase my Triad I could not get the 76 so I had to go with 75. That took a little adjusting and I did not have time to get it perfect for me by the end of the night. I ended up at 76/23 but I still don't like it.

Default 5.8 Shock Ball

It seems like the 5.8 shock ball that goes in to the shock caps fit a little loose in the shock cap holes. Are there shock balls that actually fit/snap in to the shock cap holes?

I am still considering making a switch from the B4.1 to the RB6. Aside from the quality of the car and the additional adjustment features, what can I expect from the feel/performance of the car compared to the B4.1? Given my limited skills, I am fairly comfortable with the AE.

This could be a significant change for me, as my daughter races buggy as well and she'll want one too.

This was covered at length earlier in the thread if you want to read more.
Yes, the balls fit loosly in the shock until you tighten up the nut and expand the ball. Use an alum. nut and tighten it to the point where the shock stays on but doesn't bind. Works fine.

Default Receiver Interference?

I haven't had the chance to run my RB6 yet, so I was wondering if anyone has had issues with wiring the battery connectors right over the receiver? I'm wondering if doing so will cause some interference.
