Why change the stock arms to RB6 arms in the first place?
This is exactly what I don't want to do, buy a kit (and this kit is the most expensive) to then change parts from other cars i.e. hubs, arms etc. to get it to work.
Interested in hearing why RB6 arms were considered over stock. Roger said he tried then reverted back to stock arms.
How does the car perform out of the box on high-grip carpet/astro for you? seems many have run it on carpet given the winter months - this is not too dissimilar to astro in terms of grip to be honest, so all good.
I am trying to decide whether to buy this or stick with the TLR 22-4 I have. You might of heard, this is what we ended up doing with the TLR 22-4 - changing everything to try and get the car to work on our mega high-bite tracks in the UK when the car was designed for a low-grip surfaces such as clay and dirt. Clay even with sugar added to it will never be as high-bite as carpet or astro turf. I don't know the history of this car where it was designed, if Tebo was one of the main contributors for the design of this car, then perhaps in the US on clay as per the TLR 22-4 ?
Cheers,
Simon

I feel that this is because I run a short rear link to help the car pivot/rotate how I want it..
When I went out for round 1 the car felt a million times better and felt like I could drive it with more confidence. On power over the bumpy stuff felt much more sure footed...  I changed a number of other things on the car to compensate running these wishbones knowing the RB6 arms give a lot of mid corner... Rear shock ends, rear springs, RF insert and RR insert to wider also changed the spacers under neath the RF and RR holders..longer rear link also.. I'm running 2 x 1.6 and 2 x 1.7 ... Car was spot on for RD3... And was on for what would have been a 37 in round but got tangled up with a back marker whom I thought was letting me through  ended up 46.. Then rd4 had a rain affected run.. Started racing just before we went out.. Qual f10 finished 5thi think.... I will sort out a set up sheet and post but I urge people to try it and let me know what they think!
I have also noticed on kyoshos site that they have an HD chassis coming out and carbon composite front and rear stiffners.. |
