Some interesting hop-ups for the RB-5

[sosidge]

Just spotted this website - www.cliff-rc.com (http://www.cliff-rc.com) - looks like they have made a heavy front bulkhead for the RB-5 and a couple of other things on the way too!

[sosidge]

Just translated the site and the bulkhead is aluminium, so not REALLY heavy, but probably heavier than the kit item. Also the caster is fixed at 27.5 degrees.

Stu wood is running a brass bulkhead with 27.5 degrees kickup - a roger wood special item :D
It was more necessity than anything though since he broke the kit bulkhead and didn't have a spare at the time.

Jonathan at atomic has some prototype shock mounts with additional holes to get the shocks more vertical. Stu recommends them. I should hopefully have a pair in a few days so will let you know if they are a good improvement.
car definitely needs weight up front though!

yeah, it deffo need front weight for the balance mid air.
Who can I contact about those shock towers?
