Kyosho RB5

[pb1]

Just a quick question ( Have never ran a 2wd car ) Have seen that the B4 is the car to have ?? So have gone for a RB5 instead so have i made a mistake or should have i gone with what everybody else is running.
Have looked at the review on oople seems good ( That's why in went for the RB5 )

You comments would be great.

most will say you made a mistake as everyone runs a B4, so you can guarantee spares from fellow racers at the track etc. And also the depth of set up knowledge for the B4.
On the other hand i would say great choice as the car is as competitive as anything else out there. It is far more stable at the rear than the B4, but retains the aggresive steering of the B4, so the best of both worlds. It is built like a tank and takes a very spectacular crash to break anything.
Spares are freely available from any good LHS and are reasonably priced. There is also a fair amount of set up help on here.

You have made the right choice!
Stability of a losi, the turn in of a B4 = The RB5!
I won the ME regional with mine yesterday and all the quick B4 lads comented on how planted the car looked.
Spares are now readily available from many model shops to, so no problems there.

Thanks for the input i think i will enjoy running the car. if you have chance please put a setup on the forum ( i will be running at EPR at some time )

Thanks again

there should be some base set up data in the kyosho section. I will hopefully be running at Eden Park for the winter series, although i may run 4wd.

Ash, if you rate the CR & X6 you would be falling over with excitment if you had a go of a RB5

PB1, will post my astro and grass base set ups when I have a minute
