Kyosho Ultima RB6 2015 kit... Pointless?
Trying to work out what's special about this as the parts to upgrade wouldn't cost a lot.. Or am I missing something?

Naoto took it to the last EOS, and wasn't that complementary of it on carpet.
Is that their refresh for the worlds, or will something else be run?

Can't say it is pointless really, puts a few of the running changes in the box and means that for most of the world they can now just build the kit and throw it down and be totally competitive.
Remember we are the odd balls racing on the surface we do ... As for the price expect it to be the same, more or less, as the current RB6 I expect as that was originally suggested as £600 or so .... got to love the exchange rates / taxes. Last edited by RogerM; 23-05-2015 at 11:28 AM. |

Maybe pointless for Kyosho owners but for those coming to the RB6 for the first time the "new" kit already includes some of the stuff the Kyosho racers already using.
As for the Worlds stay tuned because there are some new bits coming...3gear transission is on the way

There will be a couple of options to make the car quicker on carpet / very high grip soon

So why aren't they in the box now, given the imminent worlds?

The coming changes for the Worlds will be mainly for high grip tracks and for the MM configuration. There is slim chance to see the upgrades included in a kit...I quess we will have to buy them seperately

This is a good question,
If you are an RB6 owner, then yes it pointless to buy a new kit unless your old one is worn out. If you are new to the RB6 you will get the latest wishbones and wings the team are running, plus the Springs in the box are suited to most track conditions running Mid Motor. |

???
What?? So the 3 gear B5M conversion is not relevant in the uk either??? The 3 gear box gives other advantages which make it relevant for use in high grip situations.
