Lazer all wired up, receiver wires need blacking out and tidying up.

My RB6, with steel gear dif, titanium screws, ball studs, hige pins and all exotek bling...

At last all the cars are ready to go for the summer.

Interesting layout in the RB6, I was looking at the options to mount a shorty across the car this weekend. Initially I am looking at having it more forward than you have yours, similar position to the rear saddle in normal trim.

Some nice cars there mate.

[delanobe]

Thanks Roger.

I didn't really like how the car was handling and the rc guru from Belgium (Elvo) was also not impressed with the car.

So we did some measurements and found out that the weight distribution with the classic saddle pack lay out is way of.
Like this it's 41/59!!

With the shorty lay out and the extra motor weight + under lipo weight + 35gr in front of the motor I am at 36/64 with a total weight of 1595gr

Like this the car has crazy drive, more predictable steering and the car is more stable and balanced

[Neil Skull]

First RB6 I have seen with that layout! i am guessing you race on slippery stuff?

You would get that split on a rear motor car!

[delanobe]

Yes, but with the weight hanging in the back so that affects the handling.

A X6 also has a 35/65 weight distribution and is still one of the best all round handling cars.

The RB6 forward weight distribution is part of what makes it so nice to drive on high grip surfaces, I agree with the measurements @ circa 41/59.

I'm looking at getting a little more weight off the front of the car when grip is lower so that we can run a softer front end setup to try and make the car a little less reactive.
Probably should continue this discussion in the main RB6 thread.

All Together,

MP9

RB6

DB1

ZX5

[Chris Larner]

Wow they are really nice. Bet the bank balance took a huge WAC for that little lot.

[hloland]

I have modified my senter shaft with an yokomo cabon shaft. I had to do some modification on it, but it works fine. Save almost 10g
There is also an tamiya alu cup.

New season paint for my lazer and RB6

Both shells are from Penguin Custom Bodyshells, RB6 extends all the way to the tower and has a bit less of an upright cab than standard, and the lazer has a bit more cab up front than the shoot shell but is a lot nicer looking than the bulldog, IMHO of course
