Ultima RB5 Setups

Sticky thread for posting RB5 setups

[Phil_F]

I would like to get this thread started, here is a jpeg of the box stock setup. This is a low res scan. I also scanned in a blank setup sheet for those who would like it. Maybe it will help get some setups out... who knows.
Link to blank setup sheet.

Sorry guys but I dont have a set up for you yet but I would like to say I had a good day at Bury Metro yesterday. I won. Qualified second behind Danny Mcgoo and I thought that was good. I did stuggle from the wet as it was pretty much the same as everybody elses( crap ). When it started to get a bit dryer then I started to worry. I then got the B4 manual out and started to change a few things. I do think the shock towers from Atomic are a must and also some weight in the front. The car held up very well and I still think it needs work. I feel the pistons are still wrong but thats for testing. I am geting a race report together for Jimmy so you will all have to wait for it.

Hello,

could anyone give me a link or an url where I can buy the Atomic Carbon shock towers for the RB5?

Thak you very much,

Chris

they aren't officially produced yet, but Jonathan has a template to make them as an adhoc item. If there is enough interest in them he will hopefully "mass" produce them as a stock item so they will be slightly cheaper.

hi
we are racing the rb5 sp
did someone try the old rear brace so the rear toein is about 1 degree
we raced it on our last national on astro and the cornering speed was superb
even in the rain the car feld realy good
just wondering if other people use it
joey

Something I'd looked at but actually doing it the other way around (ie. using the wider new front brace to reduce inboard toe-in) to create more rotation.

Again, anothrer useful tuning aid ... suprely the Kyosho cars have to be the most option rich chassis out there at present

Are you running long wheel base?
Also sometimes having to much sterring can cause this type affect have you tried turning your steering down?

[RogerM]

Ok, I need to see a full set up in order to be able to help you!

TBH indoors and carpet are not my strongest point as I only race indoors a couple of times a year but I can help. Post it up and I'll see what I can do.

First point will be that is an odd pairing on the springs!!!!

Try Kysoho lime green #75 on the front / 40wt 2C (shocks in outer hole on the wishbone ALWAYS!!) and Kyosho silver #70 / 30wt 2B on the rear kit shock locations and work from there.

Shortest link on the rear, 0mm under inner ball stud. Front link out on both bulkhead and hub, 0mm under inner ballstud.

I am sure Nick Caro has carpet setups as he races indoors alot over the winter.

Hi Gents,

Roger, you are right; Nick get a couple of setup for indoor track, both carpet and sport hall floor. The given links are the two latest from Nick on this type of surface.

It would be interesting to know which car you are using (RB5 or RB5SP), the tires (best guess is shuey mini pins yellow all around)... and so on. As said Roger, the whole setup!
