does anybody use Kyosho shocks?

[TRIPLE D]

Does anybody use the Kyosho shocks on there X-6. I have a rb5 that is collecting dust and is not worth anything as a complete car. So I figured i would put the K shocks on it. Looking for a starting point for springs and pistons and oil?

I believe Kinwald was running Kyosho shocks on his cars last year at the Clash. If you look at XFactory's new setup sheets on their website, it has a starting setup for Kyosho shocks.

Brian still runs Kyosho shocks. He says they are the best out there.

I use K. shocks on my X6. I even have Losi's with all the springs they have. I like Kyoscho more because they are easy to fill, don't leak and are easy to rebuilt. I can't prevent the Losi's from leaking. Must be doing something wrong or maybe need to some new O-rings (eg. whities ... ?)

The pistons are different (3 holes) and I like to use heavier oil on mine (believe 40font and 35 rear).

Can't compare with other people at our club, because no-one uses them.

I have opted to try the kyosho shocks and will be doing alot of testing with them over the winter indoors & outdoors in the uk and will give updates on setups and how well they have done...

Our new set-up sheets give settings for all three brands of shocks, AE, Losi, & Kyosho that should be equivilent. This includes the standard set-up, and will be continued for all future set-ups we post.

I'm thinking of getting a 6sq but I fancy using 501x dampers as I use them on my other cars and theyre nearly half the price of the Losi ones new. Am I right in thinking Hupo used them on an x6 last year and a b4 this year?
