98% probability that they are not... Kyosho is great at doing things like that

RB6 hopup!

Well I got the new chassis in, upgraded to titanium screws, got the aluminum idler gear in and re-mounted the battery in the rear of the car with the help of the RT6 battery stop. Here are some pics! Now I am ready for a new servo and electronics. Debating on going back to my low profile servo or a new spektrum servo???

I have checked both the readyset and pro kit manual it's the same part number. I am looking forward to get me the alu rear hub but was wondering are there any diff from one company who produces them, say yaiba/tresrey, rdrp over exotek or say kyosho hop ups

Yes they are the same part number. However, when you take them out of the package it might have a different feel and look (color) to them.

You can alter the rear brace a bit but it stretches out and is probably 15mm further forward than the new part.

It's something you would replace whether Kit RB6 or RTR.
