When you say flip the arms do you mean turn them around so the front of the arm now faces back or flipped from top to bottom? I haven't yet ran the RB5 arms on my car as a mate of mine who has been running both the 5 and 6 arms told me he feels the gullwing arm "digs in" more which he feels helps in low grip but I will give it a go. Would a similar effect on drive be achieved if I was to drill an extra hole in the rb6 arm also?
Finally, do you do anything to your speedo settings to help in low grip? I've been told reducing the deadband on my Orion R10 would bring the power in more smoothly?
Thanks,
Chris

My opinion is that the gullwing wishbones help the car rotate on power, and that is what you want to try and reduce to some degree on low grip. Try the RB5 arms, that will be the biggest change you make. I tried an extra hole on the RB6 arm but didn't feel it was need on that.
Just for information you would need two packs of any of the following (they all come with the same rear but have a different front)
UM566
UM521-1
LA272
I don't really play with speedo settings much once i've found a good base. All I normally change is current limit and boost depending on grip level and track size.
