Is possible for someone who is at the Reedy Race to ask the team drivers why they went back to a full size servo...is it because they now use shorties?

The shorty servos are having problems with stripping gears and not enough torque. I tried ( as well as alot of other locals at West Coast) the KO shorty servo and they all stripped the gears. I went back to a RSX response servo and its great.

Hey Kevin,

I am running Sanwa SRG-BLS since I updated to the RB6 with no issues...my questions is because the new car is a little front heavy in the air, I thought that with the full size servo the added weight will only make it to dive more

Maybe I have to try and see for myself...

I was told the opposite. I believe they free up the rear and allow it to rotate better.

theres a user "eper" who makes a alum version and sells them, as of the moment, its the only one available on the market I believe. I saw AVID coming out with one aswell.

GMK Supply is coming out with a very nice set with holders for the shock top and body as well. I've seen the prototype set a while back and it works awesome. Top notch like all the GMK stuff!

If your car is front heavy something is wrong. What is your layout/setup like?

I have one of EPER's tools, works great, and is good quality.

Now on to my question, I put on the avid slipper setup and it rubs the gear cover bad. I tried heating the cover and pushing it out but there isn't enough material. Any solutions? Optional gear covers?

I run the Avid slipper with no issues.. double checked just now for marks on the inside of the gear cover and there isn't a scratch. Did you assemble it properly? There's a spacer you leave out when you use it on a Kyosho, but use on the B4.1.. I did notice my Avid spur and Robinson aluminum pinion starting to make noise.. so i have a new spur here soaking in a cup of water overnight before i install(recommendation from Avid to make the gear quieter). We'll see how well that works.

Hey t8rtot,

My base setup is based on the Japan Team sheet since I mainly running on dirt...I use saddles for the same reason...first time out with the RB6 the car was slightly nose diving in jumps...that't why I thought team drivers used the low profile servo so I never tested a normal size one!

On the Avid I have to also report that I used it too and there are no issues with the gear cover...

I would dbl check ride height and rebound, I ran that for a few weeks and it was balanced for me with a full sized servo in front. I used a shorty lipo however. Mmm

K ok it's possible I have it spaced too far out, which spacer isn't to be included?

Thanks in advance

As soon as I saw that rb6 in his livery I got chills. Looks like he's on to something with that MM.

Can't wait to see that setup.
I was at the Reedy race yesterday. Spoke with Hara and inspected his RB6 very closely. He has the AVID setup and he suggested also on dirt/clay to run the upgraded slipper pads from AVID. He was super nice and I found Tebo, Cody and Hara very helpful.
