I can usually set them by hand. If you can't slip the clutch with your hand turning the spur, it's too tight.
Thanks. Good info

My car is due to be delivered on Wednesday. I should have it built that night.

Nah, seriously I will have it built by Thursday evening. I always allocate 2 evenings to build a new kit. Sad thing is my new servo and battery won't be in till the weekend.

With a good 2mm driver, and a cup of Joe, you can have it assembled in <~2 hrs.

I am sure I could. I tend to do the main car build one night and install the electronics the 2nd night.

Default RB6

Anyone know where I can find a NIB RB6? Just an FYI, I have broken two titanium rear camber links since I installed an aluminum rear ubrace and titanium ball studs. Used to tear ball studs out of the plastic stock one. Went back to the stock steel camber link for now.

I think Abosolute Hobbyz still has some. That is where I got mine.

Currently, I have a 17.5 motor in my RB6.

I was wondering (other than being faster), what are the advantages of running a 13.5 or 'faster' motor? Longer battery run time? Cooler motor temps? Less stress on the ESC?
(I don't really know; just would like to weigh the pros and cons.)

Thanks for any info.

Anyone know what size nuts go on the kyosho ball studs? I broke my servo horn for my xp servo and am now using the xp servo horn and need to put a nut on the back of the horn to secure it. Is there a better servo horn to use in the RB6 for an xp digital?

That'd be awsome track to run on constantly.

Be a mod track for sure. Nitro and electrics in one place, cool.
