Totally agree with everything Kev has said there!

If you want to come over and see me at Kidderminster I'll give you my full setup and even drill the RB5 arms for you if you need them doing. To run the full setup you will need to put Losi Pink springs on the rear and X-gear Yellow on the front (sometimes run Losi green - softer or Losi blue - harder, very occassionally X-gear orange - harder again but mainly for high grip situation). Oil wise it is Kyosho / Core 500cst front, 350cst rear, pistons wise 4x1.3 both ends (one hole blocked in the standard pistons).
Wishbone wise I'd go for the UM521 as I have found in some situations going back to a standard RB5 front wishbone & hanger combination helps calm the front of the car down, it's rare I've needed to do this but say on super high grip it has helped.

If you want a 2nd opinion on my setup you can ask Adam Urbanowski who has run on a track that was low grip in the wet and stupidly high grip when it dried out and he just shifted a bit of ballast weight around made a very minor change to roll centre, car dialed.

Seems to work really well eveywhere.

Also BigT and Ben Pugh will be running my setup too (Ben just got his RB6 and I put the setup on it for him last wekeend, going more than a 2nd a lap faster with it than his old Losi 22).

If you don't have the ali rear arm hangers then I recomend them, if money is tight just get the forward one (but both have merit).


Hope that helps.
