Looking sweet, same layout as I am going for, on paper gives the best side-side balance with the Orion equipment

Yeah I have Roger, only at my local indoor club carpet/slippy floor, started off with it set up out he box (just to give it a try) but obviously the front was abit too soft on kit springs, changed a few bits and got faster as the night went on, was pretty easy to drive.

Any one looking to bling up their ZX6 take a look at rudebits! New in are carbon fibre battery straps, available for shorty or saddles.

Dies anyone know if the LAW41 battery posts fit? Isn't it strange that they didn't include this from the beginning but went back to plastic battery posts?
Or was it just out of the Budget having in mind they included all Suspension hangers in Aluminium and also the steering rack and damper caps in Aluminium...

Perfect, thanks for your answer!
Does anyone know if Rudebits have any Plans to make some nice Front and Rear shock towers made of carbon for the ZX6?
Tebo ran them at some Stage in the Prototype and i loved how it looked.
RudeTony, anyone?

On there way but not full replacement ones.
You have to leave the flex in the tower so the car performs as it should, so we are making thin ones that double up on the tower

Do these make a difference for flex on the RB6 ???

My RB6 came with carbon shock mounts fitted but i do have the original Kyosho mounts in my spares box.

To the above.

If everything was rigid of course it would perform much different to if it was all softy softy.
I love the Carbon look but it has to be used in conjunction to making the car better rather just for looks

One or two weeks we will have the ZX6 ones

Meanwhile we have just produced this which helps on any bumpy tracks

Looking forward to running the ZX6 at Stotfold, went well on grass last weekend, well balanced and a lot better on corners. Loads of room with shorty config as well.

Thanks to Darren at extreme-fx for the excellent paint job.
