Kyosho RB6
No information as yet that I've seen but it looks like Kyosho have joined the mid&rear motor brigade with their new Ultima RB6 - with alloy chassis, big bores and with what looks like a number of different layout options / cell positions possible. The mid motor example shown has the cells far forward but it looks like it's possible to have them much further back and the same goes for the rear motor example.

Looks great but will be pricey knowing Kyosho.

Won't be as much as a DB1 though. I see a new car coming. Buy buy conversion stuff.

I love this quote from the link Adam_u put up "The chassis offers the possibility to use rechargeable batteries as well as stick packs or saddle-shorties" I didn't know they made one shot batteries for RC cars now.....
Fair does to them though, it does look well executed though.

Looks very nice.
It's hard to see if the motor is far enough back (in mid config) as the Losi 22 suffered from the motor being too far forward. If this doesn't suffer that problem then it should be a winner. |

Does look nice, but also just looks like a Losi 22 at the mo. Get some high quality pics from Kyosho and that'll show the differences. Question is who's going to be sacked for leaking the info...! |

Chassis looks very nice! I like how simple and open they've kept the chassis plate, it makes it very easy to try out various layouts yourself without doing any sort of modifications on the car!
I have to say, I even really like the shell except for one thing... Why not make the edge between the roof of the shell and window a bit more rounded? It would've made cab forward bearable for me, I'd even support cab forward if they'd do so! As for the price on Kyosho.de... I hope they're kidding, right? That buys you a lot of different stuff from the competition, and I'm not convinced (yet) that the RB6 will be that revolutionary to justify this kind of difference in price! That said, this is another one on the list of cars to watch! Really, if Tamiya doesn't answer to this soon I consider the chance to drive Tamiya again after my 201 has had the best of it's life very, very small! (DEX210, SV2/SVR, RB6, a conversion of sorts... And if they ever release it a B5, the non-metric hardware and the horrid styling on every chassis part is enough to keep me away from the B4/B4.1). |

It looks fantasticly simple. I'm up for one! Order placed��
At the current exchange it works out a sniff over £300 so not that bad. Any idea how long until the uk gets them?

Like!
Motor is in the correct position (looks to be pretty much where the X6 motor is) so should have good traction. T6 chassis with a brace at the front to stop it bending. Loads of room for radio gear and moving the Lipos around. And Kyosho quality! Very nice. And for those of us that don't want to spend £300, there will be some nice cheap RB5 Vegas for sale |

MMMM nice ,but at a price
Having raced a rb5 before had nightmare getting spares with so many variations available,Could be tempted(i would be outcasted from our pit area) but i'll stick to my £50 special rear motor.
