Hi guys,

First post and first fortnight in the world of RC cars! I've never owned an RC car and I've just purchased and put together a Kyosho RB6; based in large part on info on this forum so thanks for steering me in the right direction.

As a total newbie I was really impressed with the kit and found it went together quick and easy.

Build; Tekin RS Gen2 ESC and Redline 17.5 motor, 12g wire, SMC 4600mAh shorty placed 1mm in front of motor, Avid Slipper Setup with 69T Spur & 32T Pinion, MIP Pucks system, Kyosho Ti Screw kit, alloy rack, alloy front axles, stock pistons Mugen 400cst front 350cst rear oil, pink/gold springs F/R, std servo, lightweight body, AKA Impact/Rebar F/R tyres. -1deg Camber, 1deg Toe out front, 23.5/22 F/R ride height. All other setting stock. Local track is medium grip outdoor clay / dirt.

Total weight 1504g, 37.7% front, 62.3% rear.

So far I love the car but only have 2 hours total time driving so no real value in my opinions. Just wanted to share! Cheers guys. Oh, can anyone recommend a more aggressive front tyre than the AKA Rebar (SS)? it doesn't seem to turn-in very quickly.
