Getting really tempted with the RB6 after having a good look at Tony and Steve's cars.

I'm leaning towards using a Tekin RS Pro in it due to the size compare with my Orion R10.

Certainly interested to see how many RB6s are out there and how many of the fast boys have changed etc.

Although do really like the DB1 - just need a dirt track built in the South!

Still waiting for the proper shell to come back so no pics of mine yet.

I have run it a few times now and it's brilliant.

Mikey, my R10 looks right at home there and the install is super tidy .. I will post up a blury pic in a bit

Pics added, I think you have to do a tiny bit of cutting on the rear battery retaining plate if you want to run the fan on the R10 but that is all.

R10 capacitor on off-side of chassis, the MRT PTX will fit in front of it once I get hold of it.
In the near side, front to back,Spektrum 3500 Rx, glitch buster, R10 switch.

I think it's all in tidy enough and it lets you run the cell options the manual forgets to mention, T-saddle and shorty right forward ... for those were massive steering isn't enough

Interesting, how does it compare with the DB1?

lol. Well I need to decide whether to order or not first really before thinking about electrics.

It'll be
Sanwa 451 RX
Orion or SP 8.5 motor
Orion R10 or Tekin RS Pro ESC
Savox 1257 servo or Orion Low Profile.

If I ordered one I would still keep the DB1 and all installed ready to roll

Default RB6 Orion Instal

Thought I'd share images of an R10 instal which as said earlier ''looks right at home'' in there.

Big thanks to Kev Lee for his help, cannot wait to get her rolling.

Anyone else suffering from the ankerman catching slightly on the chassis? Had another front end rebuild today and may have to pull out the dremel, any ideas before I start to butcher.

Look forward to seeing other examples and the success stories surrounding them.

Ah ha! I'll confess I've been referring to the manual. Cheers! I'll have another look.

Do the new shock caps make the shocks feel different over the older style? Also can the RB6 rear arms be fitted onto the back of a ZX5 FS2 SP instead of using/buying the NCG arm conversion thingymebob to save a few ££'s and give the same effect?

Very curious how the RB6 compares with the DB1!

Any feedback from those that have the privilege to own both?

As far as I am aware, this is the whole idea of the new arm, its the same as the NGC but without all the extra bits.

Hi Roger, your R10 instal is very, very tidy. Do you choose not to use the fan, or have you squeezed it in somewhere else, seeing the top of the R10's heat sink looks the biz by comparision to a plastic fan.

Thanks for sharing the images, the've made me re-think the ESC rotation, as I have the wires stretching from right to left over the diff, which causes a very slight distortion to the shell.

Default Cable management

Noting from the uploads of completed cars so far, I see no one including myself has used the dedicated cable management channels built into the side skirts.

Theres a squared off entry hole in each side skirt towards the front linking to another at the rear. Not large enough for a plug to be pulled through, but supposedly large enough for a cable to be contained. I just couldn't squeeze my cables in which was a shame, but will have another go when I get the time and am less frantic to complete the build.

Has anyone had any joy, or have I just dream't this slick feature up??

I did try to use these but with having my RX half way down the side pod it didn't really work for me.

I'm only currently running an Orion 8.5VST in there so no need for the extra cooling.

If you want to run the fan you just need to take a small amount of material off the plate the battery strap sits under, a 2 minute job.
