RB5 Tips and tricks!
Post anything that could make your rc experience better. Here is two from me regarding the RB5 and the boots can of course be applied on the ZX5 as well.
First. PIC 1. The motor does not sit in the centre of the car when you look from behind. It has some serious overhang to the left causing the tyre pressure to be higher on that wheel. This is from when brushed motors were used. Belive me, I messured it very carefully. I just added a 2mm washer in between the motorplate and tranny. This solves the problem more or less. Still not completly perfect but way better than before. I also added about 0.5mm och schims to increce the the gap between the slipper plates and the motorplate. Just enough clerance. Took some 30mm screws and shortend them to 27mm to replace the stock 25mm screws.
Pic 2. Team Durango driveshaft boots can be used if you shrinkwrap the outdrives first and then slide the boots on. Perfect fit and it keeps the diffscrews clean and the lube on the dogbone stay fresch.
Hope this is helful.
