Just an FYI. My first weekend out with my RB5 I had to tighten the diff almost all the way to keep it from slipping so, I tore it apart tonight and tried a trick we used to do with the Schumacher diffs. I glued the diff rings to the out-drives. WOW! what a difference I was able to set the diff looser and no slippage. Smooth and tight just the way I like it! LOL!
I plan on doing my ZX5 tomorrow night.

Give it a try you'll be surprised!

what glue did you use to do that ???

Plain old CA. When you need to change the rings just pop them off and chip off the old CA. No damage to the out-drives. Trust me! The Schumacher guys have been doing this for years!

here's mine:


I really like it so far. But am I the only one to break a steering rack, what a p.i.a.

I had the steering rack fall apart on me. The nut backed out. 3X6 flanged bearings and some shims should solve the issue. I am waiting for AVID to get some bearings in stock. They should be here soon.

At my track we have this weird quad that makes you cart-wheel three times if you didnt take it right! I still haven't broke my car since I got it 3 months ago it just might have been a fluke..

Hi Casper,


What sway bar are you running ? and do you have a part number ?

Casper

iTrader: (34)

I am not running a sway bar on my RB5 currently. I only have the stock one on the rear of my ZX-5.

Sway bar part numbers for the ZX-5 are as follows
LA236-10 1.0mm Nickel
LA236-11 1.1mm Gold
LA236-12 1.2mm Sliver (this is stock for ZX-5)
LA236-13 1.3mm Copper
LA236-14 1.4mm Black
LA236-15 1.5mm Golden
LA236-16 1.6mm Chromium

Same thing happened to me last race night.

RB FIVE, if you are ever in a pinch, the MRC Acedemy part for their shocks is almost exactly the same and will fit inside the ZX5/RB5 shocks perfectly. That plastic piece has broken on me more than a few times and it is expensive to buy Kyosho's part tree for to only get two of those pieces. I love my two Kyosho buggies, but I also pay for all of my stuff so I go for deals when I can. The Acedemy part comes in a bag of 8-10 or so and is like 5$.
