It probably would since I just used all the stock stuff out of my stock kyosho diff to build the mip diff. The exotek diff nut is supposed to replace the stock nut.

Maybe this is just me being a idiot and wanting to try things. On my home track (damp/wet) you need a really firm insert. I currently have the AKA foams in which are firm, but wondering if a even firmer insert would work better?

What would happen if I cut down a open cell foam and slid it under the AKA foam? Would that work, or would it just act ridiculous?

The new dirt tech inserts by jconcepts are firmer then the aka inserts.

This is a random question but my kids stripped my 25t servo horn today. I only use the 25t and have the remainder of the 23 and 24t horns. Antibody interested in swapping? Think I have 2 of each.

I tried taking mine out and it self-destructed. So had to order a new one for the puck ball diff and got a couple exoteks for the original and a backup for the pucker

I'd swap for your 23t horns. I can mail out the 25t to you. Just pm me your address and I'll reply with address.

Looking for a setup to lead me in the right direction..

Usually the track I run on is medium to high. But with how my car feels I would say low haha.

The car just doesn't traction, and you can't drive it. It's weird because at the opposite track it's on rails. Doesn't really want to carry connor speed, just hard to drive, and hard to drive hard at all.

Yesterday I ran the Zach Rogers setup, and it was way better, but still feel it lacked traction all the way around and was hard to drive. (just cause I know what it's capable of).

What setup would you suggest running?

low-Medium (inconsisent)bite/medium size/damp-wet
Usually most run panther slicks, running panther rears/slicked proline fronts

Sounds like your tire compound, or prep are not in the right ballpark.

I thought the same thing, but the same tires on my B5M is pretty good. And that is using the same sauce also.

Try different diff tightness. It changes a lot how the car drives in and out of the corner.

Ran this car for the first time a few days ago and I must say, this thing is so consistent and fast and so much traction and steering. This thing is amazing my lap times are posted below, in btwn laps I was adjusting my radio as this was literally the first time I put the car down on the track, maiden voyage if you will. Fast laps are high 14s low 15s. I run on carpet and all I can say is I wanted this car for a long time and tried another brand for a while and was struggling to do a 15s lap consistently. The results speak for themselves and Im happy with the RB6. Drove the RB5 WC and loved it. Dont even know why I strayed from The big K.

If you use the same insert front to rear, you don't change toe-in, it stays at 3° per side. You only change overall width and roll center (wider means less roll).
C in/C in is 3 degrees, as D in/D in or B out/B out.
D in front/C in rear is 3.5 degrees
C in front/D in rear is 2.5 degrees
Etc.
