You should carry a few spares though as the car is a little less popular (yet) than the B4 it's a little more difficult to find somebody trackside to yet stuff off in an emergency. I'll get you part numbers latter.
I would also go for the proline rear axle conversion so you can use B4 / Losi wheels, just makes it easer to get trackside again. The car is really easy on front tires so that is much less of an issue.
The car is a lot more consistent lap to lap than a B4, everybody I know who has switched to the RB5 agrees.
The RB5 is much easier to drive than a B4 too, think of it as having all the best characteristics of the B4 and XXX-CR built in to one car.
Trust me you won't be disappointed.
As far as set-ups are concerned your going to want at least three springs front and rear
front
#65 yellow
#70 silver (ZX5 kit NOT RB5 kit .... which are #35)
#75 light green
rear
#65 yellow
#70 silver (kit)
#75 light green
I would try and get #68 blue and #72 cobalt blue too.
I'm always happy to help and advise on this car (and the ZX5-SP) but please post in the main forums rather than PMs so everybody can see the answers.
Enjoy the RB5 .....
