You can tell if you have the new one as it has a mark on the top of it whereas the original piece does not.

Are there any aluminum or steel pivot balls for the shock mounts available? I find it pretty disappointing the amount of slop in the shock mount bushings. I thought this was Kyosho?
There is noticeable play when you lift the kit from the wheels and place it back down on the top and bottom of the shocks. I have been able to find threaded bushings for the upper links that connect to the shock tower, but nothing for the lower plastic shock arms.

You need to run the red AKA closed cell foams in a little for them to be at optimal operating condition. They really come in after about 5 or 6 run cycles. The first few runs on the new foams feel like the tire is not "in" the track, but after you break them in, they are money. They are the best foams on the market. Just stick with them until they get good.

I updated my previous set. Just noticed I had reversed the steering rack.

just purchased an used RB6. compared to my dex210 (which is newer), the RB6 has a fair amount of slop. i notice slop at the knuckle/hub carrier, suspension arm hinge, and steering rack.
what amount of slop, if any, is present in a newly built kit? right now, i'm planning on replacing the entire front end (plus pins). but wondering i should start with the steering rack and knuckle/hub carrier first.
