Kyosho Ultima SC6 Thread.......

Front
Pistons: 3x1.4mm
Oil: AE 35wt
Spring: Orange
Length: 27mm
Ball End: Short
Rear
Pistons: 3x1.4mm
Oil: AE 30wt
Spring: Red
Length: 34mm
Ball End: Short
I am tempted to try 37.5wt in the front and 32.5wt in the rear as I want to stiffen things up a bit. The layout is in a state of change at my local track so I might keep it as is. It is challenging to discuss setup changes with others at the track. I am the only one that has an SC6. Most people in Pro2 run AE or Losi.

I find it hard to obtain info on Kyosho springs and different wheel offsets. Thought I would share what I've found so far. I've ordered some different springs and will update the chart when I measure them. At least we can compare some spring rates to other brands.

Great document! Looking forward to any updates on it.
I found that Slash 4x4 wheels are the perfect offset for front and rear when measured against ROAR rules. However, I am also using RB6 front axles in the front.

Totally agree! I wish I could switch out tires between my SC10B and the SC6. More tire combinations to experiment with and easier on the wallet.

For those who are running rear motor. Do you put the wires through the shock tower? I am about to put my new motor in and even though I haven't broken a rear shock tower was only thinking that if I happen to break one while racing I would have to take my soldering iron to the track which I normally don't do to disconnect the motor and esc - Note: I don't want to run bullet connections from motor to esc.

I think I found my problem. The plastic pivot balls in the shock rod ends were tight. I could unhook the top of the shock and the shock would not pivot freely. The pivot ball was also very tight on the screw. I'm pretty sure as the arms went up and down it slowly back out the screw. Let alone it was binding the suspension. I replaced with a different brand rod end with steel pivot ball. I'll find out this weekend if that was the cause..
