Check your slop anyway. From memory the Exotek rack needed a couple of shims between the rack and the cranks.
On the bench and track, it doesn't want to go to same spot every time.

Seems like something is hitting. I grinned the nose piece per the instructions, however they weren't very clear.

What shims are you referring to so I can confirm

I'm trying to identify an alum servo horn to replace the stock plastic piece. I've discovered that not all aftermarket servo horns will work as the movement may be hindered due to the design. Has anyone upgraded to an alum servo horn that fits/works without too much modification and maintains the full range of motion? Does Kyosho make an hop up alum servo horn for the RB6? Thanks in advance!!

Kyosho makes one for the zx5 that works. I hear the TLR 22 aluminum horn fits but I can't put TLR on my car.

I'm using the TLR22 aluminum horn w/ a Spektrum 6040 servo. I had to dremel the front upper just a bit back when fitting the kit plastic horn, but the TLR horn dropped right in and seemed to be really close to the kit horn as far as geometry goes.

Personally I would advise against the al servo horn. I have had my car since it came out and have broken only 2 steering racks total and 2 plastic horns. Had I had an al servo horn on I'm sure my rack breakage would be much higher. Just food for thought something has to give on hard hits.

Great point. The only reason I wanted to swap it out was due to the play that developed in the plastic unit. I had a centering problem and I discovered that it was due to a worn out servo horn. I do have the alum steering rack, so it's possible that my next weakest link may be the servo itself!

If you're running the aluminum rack and cranks I'd want the aluminum horn. Not sure what would break next after that. Maybe breaking ballstuds, steering links, or spindles? I doubt a decent servo would give out in 1/10 2wd buggy unless it was a fluke thing.

Yes i would like more traction in the corners. I have the tire hooked up it just still wants to break free under power in turns. What do I do for hangers and toe?

The track is on the large side, clay with med to high grip. I have plenty of steering and forward bite. I want the car to have more cornering speed with out the rear end breaking loose and spinning out. The tires are definitely hooking up I feel it is a rear end suspension adjustment. I let a fellow racer run the car for a few laps and was told it had too much steering. I drive his car which is the same car. And it felt like it rolled forward smoother and held corners way better than mine. Does that make sense?

Probably take away some steering.
If you have a lot of grip on one end it can make the other feel like it has much less.

Has anyone used parts from this company on their rb6 or 5? What are your opinions on them?
