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.

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.

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.

You need to download an editable blank set-up sheet. I have made a few for different cars on my website, but the one I used for the RB5 Ultima was made by Alexander Mach - which he graciously allowed me to host on my site.
You can download it here: http://web.aanet.com.au/fir/bender/Manuals_Setups_files/editable_blank_rb5.pdf
You can then fill it out and print it - or store it as a PDF file if you have a virtual PDF postscript printer.
To do that you need to install Ghostscript from this link:
http://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/AFPL/gs853/gs853w32.exe
and then the free PDF Fill tools from this link:
http://www.pdfill.com/download/PDFill_Unicode.msi
Here are some setup about the RB5 (http://www.petitrc.com/setup/kyosho/SetupSheetsKyoshoUltimaRB5.html)
It is a bit wildly linked right now, something more refined 'll come late!

4 mm under the rear inner ballstud, surely that is almost falling out ?
RogerM
04-03-2008, 08:48 PM
The stock ball stud has 10mm of thread, as do the Yokomo parts I have replaced them with (as they have a 2mm hex to aid quick changes). That means there is 6mm still in the mounting boss, which is fine.

are those kind of ball studs with a hex in the top of the ball?
RogerM
06-03-2008, 07:09 AM
Yes mate ......... only reason for fitting them as the K' ball studs are good other than that point
Don't know how many of you guys still running the RB5 but here come a setup on grass track (http://www.petitrc.com/setup/kyosho/setuprb5/RB5_ArnaudCollet_RegionalGargenville20080511.pdf) (pdf).

Any chance the Drivers who ran RB5's at worksop could post your fiishing setups for us all to look at.
Cheers.
I can do better and give you karl's finishing setup...
Front: Light green #75 spring
30wt (ae) 2C piston
Middle hole on tower, outside on arm
Inner link inside +1mm shim, outer link, inside hole
1 Deg camber 0 Deg toe
Rear: Blue #68 spring
25wt (ae) 2B piston
Middle on tower, outside on arm
Innerlink outside + 2mm shim, outer link outside hole + 2mm shim
1° camber
All else kit standard. Karl wasn't completely happy with the car espeially the rear, and thought the silver springs as I ran in the finals would be a good idea to try.

I ran silver #70 with 2B and 25wt on rear and it was "Loose" but controlable. I wanted to go down to blue #68 but didnt.
Got the worlds conversion to try for next time, but will play before then.

Hi Mike,
Thanks Fab for replying. As you may or may not know Mike I borrowed the car that morning from a very kind friend Robin Lucas, the Transmitter was kindly lended to me by Big Bond, and I have to say I can not comment on all the set ups just yet.
However, What I think was correct regarding the piston was that they were actually the 3B ones.
Now I should know, but I ran 25wt all round, as they felt stiffer than the kit 2B pistons fitted to Bond's car and Ian Robinson's.
Go kit, but with 30wt next time as a starting point. Use the out hole on the rear wishbone, and the stiffest springs. Silver Fab says :)
2mm under the front inner caber position, not 1mm.
If you run Lipo, weight the car up.
Hope this helps, and if not, come a say hello if I am there next time.
I have not raced off road for over 6 years Mike, and seriously for over 3, so I just think I ran out of time to be honest and coul dnot do everything I wanted to do in 1 day without no practise.
On the whole, the RB5 was excellent, easy to drive and I think yesterday's run is a good sign of the potential it has, and will hopefuly give more guys the confidence to go out and try one.
Most say it is more stable and easy to dive over the B4 who have changed, I think we have a car that will suit the majority of people, and I hope to see more around next time.
Best of luck with your racing
Regards

Karl, I know you were using the 3 holes pistons but as you mentioned that kit setup would be a better idea that's what I put down.
On the rear end bit, you shortened the rear link, but wouldn't it be a better idea to make it longer and maybe flatter to help the rear end slide a bit mid corner?
froggie
08-10-2008, 02:59 AM
well just got my Rb5 did the middle arm conversion. changed the factory diff balls and turnbuckles, The only problem i am having is getting the car to jump straight, Have tons of off power and on power stearing. Tons of traction,slight push still working on that. But wants to roll on jumps all the time still testing will post when setup is complete.

Nathan Ralls worksop indoor setup
FRONT
oil 35 wt losi
piston 2c
spring lime green 75
shock tower kit middle
wishbone outer hole
inner camberlink middle hole +1mm washer
outer camberlink inner hole
hub height low (washers above)
kickup 25 degree's
weight 10g on top of servo
ride height wishbones below level
REAR
08 velvet body, kit shaft
oil 25 wt losi
piston 2b
spring mauve,blue (imt told 72 but not sure, spring that comes with the 08 rear end)
shock tower 08 middle
wishbone 08 inner
inner camberlink outer hole no washers
outer camberlink outer hole +2mm washers
08 hubs medium wheelbase (no height adjustment)
rideheight driveshafts level
wing in middle mount position

kit wing with half gurney (flies very neutral)
car very easy to drive with bundles of steering, fronts and rear minipins run full with mr O medium foams, when outside inner and outer row cut off the front, full rear with same inserts
any questions feel free to ask
RogerM
03-11-2008, 05:23 PM
Looks very similar to my carpet set-up except
30g in front bulkhead, none near servo
short not super short wheelbase (will be changed for MK GP to see how it goes!)
Front springs losi black cut 1 1/2 coils
Rear springs losi blues (too stiff really but wanted stiffer than orange and didn't have silvers)
rear shock outer on stock tower (mid on Atomic tower I run) and out on wishbone, using 54mm shock shaft in rear (also the wider rear end but with normal length shocks and tower)
oils AE35wt all round
I am quite happy with this set-up at Dudley on all carpet (lapping about 0.1 off the fastest 4wd car in qualy which was a driver I should be competing with on level terms IMO). Will be going to Losi Silvers or Kyosho #80s (dark green) for MK GP as the slipper floor will require a little more rear roll. Might find I need even softer.
The key to the RB5 I found earlier in the year is not to run the front too soft .... basically forget the inner holes exist on the wishbones!
Basic outdoor set-up is similar to indoors other than Kyosho #70 (silver) springs all round and medium wheelbase + 2mm or so on ride hight all round.
The only problem I find with the RB5 is it's tendency to tuck it's nose in a little deep as you come off power, then only on carpet / ultra high grip ..... loverly everywhere else!!!!! Not being of national A final grade like nathan is I need a safer car so the stiffer front springs help there a lot. In fact I think that I have over compensated with the rear spring until I ran the stiffer fronts, might be worth dropping a rate or 2 on slippier surfaces.

This was my setup at the first (middle-)Swedish indoor series: Hit me! (http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb236/CallePledger/Setupbofors-1.jpg)
What tires do you run with? I had problems finding the right front tires. I ran Schumacher mini pin in the rear. Tried mini pin in the front but I got a way to twitchy car. To much steering. The Proline 4-rib felt better when I found a setup with better steering but I still needed more steering. I am going to try Schumacher stagger. What do you think about that?
RogerM
04-11-2008, 07:26 AM
We normally run Scumy mini pins on the front and rear (in yellow) and trim a row or two off if needed to calm the front end down. I don't think I've tried anything else indoors for a very long time!
Phil Channon
05-11-2008, 06:34 PM
I have run my RB5 a couple of times at Oswestry, which is made up of carpet and wooden floor.
This is my current set-up.
Front.
35 cwt
2C piston
1.5 mm internal limiters
Neon Yellow spring
Inside hole of wishbone and no 3 hole on tower (AC)
Wishbones level
Camber link 2nd hole out on the inner mount (no spacers) and outside hole for the outer
25 deg castor
Running a brass bulkhead
Rear
25 cwt
3B piston
Nil internal limiters. But I'm running longer rod ends, to increase droop and also meaning the spring adjuster is not at the end of the shock body thread.
Blue (68) spring
Outer hole on the wishbone and no 4 hole of tower (AC)
Wishbones level
Medium wheelbase
Inner camber link in middle hole, nil spacers
Outer camber link on outer hole, 2mm spacer
Cells are run at the back
Worn schumacher mini spike (full) front and rear.
I find the car has plenty of mid and exit corner steering. It does hook its nose in if the power is taken off, but only on the high speed carpet section. I'm going to try a grade up on the front spring.
RogerM
05-11-2008, 08:48 PM
Phil, great to see you running the RB5 too!!!!
I have found that running on the inner hole on the front wishbone is what causes the hook off power.
Try the outer wishbone hole mate, let me know what you think. Oh by the way, running the front shocks at 20mm top of rod end to base of seal cartridge in the outside hole.
Where did you get the brass bulkhead from?
Phil Channon
05-11-2008, 09:16 PM
I got the bulkhead of Jim76, who I also got the car off.
I will try moving the front dampers, after the spring change.

15-01-2009, 09:36 PM
so these last setups are still good for carpet?
my rb5 is on its way from the states as we speak:)
ordered schumis from models in motion on monday, but they still have'nt confirmed my order, any idea why? paid for with visa and everything.

19-01-2009, 08:11 AM
anyone??
RogerM
19-01-2009, 12:29 PM
I'm at work but will try to answer when I get back home. Depends on the carpet but I usually change the car more for carpet than any other surface, normally trying to stabilise the front end (losi black springs, cut 1.5 coils) and generate more rotation from the rear too.
For me carpet is the RB5s only weakness, it can be made to be very special on carpet but not on the "normal" off-road set-up!!
Special good or special retarded? :lol:
kyosho-viking
19-01-2009, 03:25 PM
I dont know the english word for our carpet, but it's hard and about 3 mm thick with super high grip. if I directly transelate the name it would be something like this : "pinfelt carpet"
I run the new orion race spec BL esc and motor 6,5t and orion 3800 lipo's
In norway we run schumacher yellow cutted all around due to carpet life.
I also ordered tyres from models in motion over a week ago, and it is still "waiting" emailed them 2 times without any replies, should I try order from apex instead?
I'd say use Nathan's setup from this week end's Petit RC race...

this setup is for high bite carpet with large jumps only as the oils are to thick for normal use. see setup on page 2 for normal use.
any questions feel free to ask
RogerM
20-01-2009, 11:55 PM
very similar to mine for Newbury
only differences are rear inner camber link mid
wheelbase short
front oil 40wt AE
rear oil 35wt AE with 2b pistons
I have Nathan'setup @ Petit, I've to put it clean with details and pictures to confirm previous nathan writing.
Most probably, that will be done for Saturday.
Nathan, thanks again for all the details you provide.

Roger..
Nope, dont run any weight other than the Ghea bulkhead..
At the F345's i ran the same set up and it was awesome.. qualified A7.. In Rd4 i was on for TQ.. then he told me and i ended up up A2 lol..
I used to run 3B pistons all round with 30wt front and 25wt rear... did abit of reading up from Elvos guide and made changes for kiddy and the car did what i wanted it to do :)
Just need to sort the FS out now... not quite there.. not far off though..
U have a pm

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?

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 (http://www.petitrc.com/setup/kyosho/setuprb5sp/RB5SP_NickCaro_PetitRCRace2010/index.html) and sport hall floor (http://www.petitrc.com/setup/kyosho/setuprb5sp/RB5SP_NickCaro_WorksopRd320100103.pdf). 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!
