Cheers........

You can buy RX extension wire. just use a clip or cotton or fishing wire to keep them together no problem. Flight shops sell them a lot to get servo wires to reach from feet away if required in big planes.

I bought my own servo wire and JR plugs from giantshark which cost me a couple of quid for 1 metre of cable and 6 RX plugs.

You could give Orion a nudge to add an inch to the rx wire

Is it poss to fit a full size servo. Most pictures show a small one.

Full size servo fits, just means that your reciever will have to sit on top of the servo/rear brace/sideguard

Yes, I have a Savox 1257 full size in mine. ESC at the back near the motor and RX on top of the RX plate just in front of the ESC.

what is a good pinion to start with on a 8.5 motor standard spur

[DaSloth]

i run a 27 on the orion 7.5 so i guess if i was going to start on an 8.5 i'd go with a 28 or 29, but it depends on the size of the track really.

[RogerM]

I often run a 28 pinion against the 76 kit spur with an Orion VST8.5

On their way soon chaps in either red or black. UK price will be confirmed shortly......

[Chris-S]

I take it the screw holes in the front will be for an updated brace. Ie one that doesnt fall off when you take the bumper off !

I have heard they are in the prosses of designing a rear MM bulkhead too

My RB6 with all of its bling is HERE in the for sale section.

Should there be an optional plastic RF wide suspension mount on the parts tree for the mid motor config? Or do I need to buy the alloy option mount to reduce my rear toe in?
