Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks.
Want a good looking body for the RB5 Sp2 for $16.00?

I had an RB5 SP2 and then went to a Team C 02 evo and the bodies fit pretty nicely from one to the other.

Anyone else enjoying the new ReRe RB5 yet? Was quite surprised they released it - well as the Dirtmaster anyway!

Only major changes to the original:
- Some of the screws are self tappers (but I've swapped to M3 with no issues)
- Plastic dampers
- Gear diff
- New body and wing
- Hex front wheels from the later RB5

Plastics do feel a little different - but still very strong (a bit like the Ultima 2019 ReRe plastics). There's a few minor changes as well (steering not fully ballraced for example, turnbuckles are different etc)

Haven't taken mine to the track yet, but I think it's going to be great on grass and lower traction tracks

Some pics I took during the build. Have added mostly titanium screws + aluminium spacers under the ball studs + aluminium RF / RR suspension mounts. Was quite pleased to get some Avid HD rear axles and a set of Avid hexes as well.

You wrote this for DirtMaster

So far any screw thread strip off from any of the plastic parts ?

I've not had an issue with 6.5/7.5 motors on EOS carpet or on astro stripping the gears.

I haven't seen any.

Has anyone tried the RB7 gullwing arms on the RB5 / Dirtmaster?
