Using 2 hole pistons W5303-09 - proven faster than previous 4 hole setup
A fair few people have been asking for my latest RB6 setup recently. Sorry it has taken a while to post it up but I wanted to be 100% sure it was both faster and easier to drive than the previous one people liked.

Stu, I would try Roger's setup first and go from there. I ran the car similar to Roger's last setup and it made it alot easier to drive. The biggest changes I made were the ackerman adjustments, moving the lipo forward and using a slighty firmer front spring.

Hole 3 on the front is the outer hole on the bulkhead. On the rear, Hole 3 is the second from the outside on the alloy hubs. If you have the plastic Type-B hubs, it is the outside hole. Inside hole on the rear bulkhead.

Stu, getting used to the many options on the RB6 setup sheet can take a little time but trust me, it's not a complicated car to set up
Always happy to help any way I can and I can assure you that latest setup will be a good place to start as confirmed by several drivers of different abilities who have tried it now. Most important thing is to use ALL of the setup as even the seemingly insignificant things can be really important! If it doesn't work for you then please let me know and I'll do my best to help tune it to suit you. I'd ask you to think about how the car feels through the corner, entry/mid and exit separately as that will help me help you tune. Hope you enjoy it |

Gear diff for high grip astro
As title really, was thinking of trying a gear diff at TORCH on Sunday if the weather stays fine.
Can anyone recommend a decent starting point for oil weight etc.? This will be the 1st time i've used a gear diff in any 1/10th car so would appreciate any help |

What is the rb6 like compared to the Schumacher KF on high bite carpet?
|
#672
|
||||
|
||||
The RB6 rotates very freely compared to many of the other conventional mid motor cars so works really well on high grip surfaces.
Forward motor cars drive very differently from a conventional mid so it is very hard to compare them directly. A forward motor car should be quicker on high grip stuff BUT that depends on the drivers ability to adapt their driving style to get the best out of it. RB6 is a great all round car |

I drove my newly acquired RB6 for the 1st time on carpet last weekend. It had a far from ideal setup for carpet (pink front springs) and was diffing up a lot out of corners but what i was amazed about was how direct the steering was. I could hit an apex relatively easily. In the end i was a lap down on a KF but as stated above I think the RB6 will be a better allrounder.

Thanks for your answers, can you tell me what spur gear comes with the kit?
|
#675
|
||||
|
||||
I believe it is a 76T spur, I have seen a 69T available on ebay and the 78T from the ZX5 would also fit. RW racing also do a range I think

I've got the adjustable Kyosho rear hinge pin holders, what would be a good setting for indoor carpet racing?
I've had a read on rctech and D in front and rear seems to be what they are using on dirt |
#677

The simplified answer is;
narrow (i.e. both Din) best for low grip wide (i.e. both Dout) best for high grip I typically run my RB6 Cout both so that I can easily change between 3deg, 2.5 (Bout rear) and 3.5 (Dout rear) toe in settings. Any more than ±0.5deg toe change and I'll do it at the hubs. Hope that helps |
