RB5 SP2WC & FS2 SP
 
The kits have arrived... let the builds begin!

Have to say first impressions... the usual excellent looking quality on all parts.

Should be a joy to build both models

Ive checked the RB5 SP2 WC... the obvious changes are different front tower, narrower bulkhead, and so narrower front hinge pin brace, longer front wishbones, new slipper assembly, narrower rear " blast " wing and obviously the big bores and of course the new colours.

It also has 2 new springs, Big Bore Blue Front, and an unmarked rear spring.. will check them out later against the ones i have..

When i get chance to look through the FS i'll post on here..

Cheers

Nick

maaan how the fook did u get your kit today, wont get mine till tuesday :-( (FS2)

didnt realise how big the changes were on the rb5, will be interesting to see how they work on a vega of MCS. i guess you're building it as an MCS and not an RB5 Nick?

might have to consider getting the new parts, dont think i could justify a whole rb5 really, but keep us updated!

ILL BUILD MINE TOMORROW AND ILL BE RACING AT TAPLOW . ALL GOING WELL :thumbsup:

Ian,

Im building as the SP2WC mate...

Have always liked the rear motor feel... plus i have a slightly longer chassis on its way to me also ;)

I will defo be trying the new front end on the MCS at somepoint for sure... i think it will improve an already good car / cars (MCS/Vega) the slipper will be a help to im sure..

In both kits you only ger 1 x set of front springs and 1 x set rear springs.

Cheers

Nick

njc11 22-10-2011 07:07 AM

Lol!

I will get some as i build... :)

Yes slipper bits will work with Vega lay shaft.. they supply the red (harder) pads with this kit..

:)

On the FS2SP kit they are back on the standard UM519 rear hubs.. so your outboard rear link cant be as long on the hub...

sime46 22-10-2011 07:54 AM

Will the rear hubs be a problem mate? Do I need some others for it?

mikeyscott 22-10-2011 07:58 AM

Certainly looks nice but any oople car pics?

Rich D 22-10-2011 01:05 PM

sime46 22-10-2011 06:39 PM
