RB6 - Rear inner wishbone hanger

[dobber]

After several unfortunate landings last night i have broken the inner of the 2 rear wishbone hangers, think its RF2 in the manual. Ordered a replacement but you have to buy the whole tree costing £11 quid. Are there any after market alloy ones of these that anyone knows about or is it just me thats broken one?

Before you go buying new ones, I and one other person have made the same mistake, kyosho provide you with more parts than you need and myself and another racer both put the wrong one on which is flymsy and weak and we both broke it. We then replaced it with the correct RF2 and its solid. If you look at page 11 I think, it shows you which parts NOT to be used in the kit and you'll probably find you've used the wrong one.

Get yourself the alloy part UMW514

Not cheap but you ain't going to break it.

Duncan, on my superior Vega RB5 the front and back are metal ones, might be worth splashing the cash and upgrading? Once on I'd be surprised if they broke again?

This item is listed as RB5 can you confirm it is the same as the RB6 one and a direct replacement?

I've ran mine since i built the car new with this part Rob on the advice of Kev Lee, along with the alloy 0 degree rear hubs. Car is bullitt proof.

UM726 is the original RB6 kit plastic ones. these are much stronger than the old RB5 plastic options. The bits on the gear case tree (UM508) are the older type and are not used in the RB6 build.
