Hi Guys,

Just to say grab yourself (not Sharpy as I know he has one) a Kyosho carbon effect catalogue from your nearest Model Shop.

There are quite a few options in the book for the RB5, that most shops I visit did not realise.

Regarding hexes, the width is the only factor, so use it to your advantage to increase turn in or stability to suit your driving.

I think the wider front wheels just help coner stability over the older narrow ones as they lower/stretch the profile.

Pete, the tyre can look a little stretched, but's it's cool. Just trim the outer edge if you want to get the rest of the tyre working and it will help with reducing the front end initial bite.

More and more race shops have RB5 & lazer spares, so thanks for your support and keep asking the shops questions, and we will do our best to service them for you.

Happy racing
