Is anyone using rcss cut gears and mip bi-metal diff plates (pin type)? Looking to loose some weight that parts don't break, Any other suggestion will be helpful. Thanks.

I've been running cut gears with the mip puck system since the b6 came out with zero issues. I just rebuilt my diff this week and all the teeth on the gears still look good

I have been running the RC Speed Secret cut gears in very high bite clay for a while now with a ball diff and the gears are strong. I use the Exotek topshaft and slipper eliminator. Im just north of you in Bakersfield racing at Rainmans. I have never run the MIP system but have not heard great things from others at our track that have. when you do the cut gears do the ceramic bearings too and your will have a very friction free and light drive train that is noticeable with a little more initial snap.

HELP
Hey all,
I feel like I am going a bit crazy here...but I can't seem to figure out how to mount the shocks. When I put the bushing on, I find there is no way to fit it on the shock towers with enough screw length to install the nuts. I checked and made sure that I am using the right screws. |

how did you set your diff at? And what track surface do you race at?

Are you using the correct bushing? Short in front, long in rear.

Yep, I am. It doesn't want to budge at all.

Anyone tried running heavier diff oil (black high grip carpet) in mod buggy? Wondering if something like 10-15k would change much from the kit setup?

Currently can almost rotate the car within its own width it corners so tight. Trying to get it where it can still rotate without being quite so snappy. The car is really good but just looking to try something that will make it just that much better for my style(or lack of talent)....lol

How did the buggy run after you trimmed your springs to lower the ride height? We run a carpet off road and I am wanting to get the ride height down on by b6. We have some fairly large jumps at Ultraline Hobbies.

on carpet (and astro), I use vrp eu pistons with lighter oil (that's the goal)
1.6/30-35 in ft ; 1.7/30-25 in rr depending of the track and temp. ( I also use yokomo rp springs) |
