Ultima RB5 setups

This setup in PDF

This past weekend Ronnie and I went to the SIGP in Tucson, AZ (Track: clay, super hi-bite, smooth). Ronnie ran the same exact set-up he ran at the Cactus (PDF).

Since Li-Po is getting more and more popular, I have started testing with our 3600 Race Spec Li-Po and the RB5 without adding any extra weight.

By the end of the weekend, my car was really good. The track at Competition Hobbies was super hooked up and we ran Losi Silver Taperpins belt sanded down into slicks with Trinity Blue Bomb 1 Foam.
