Welcome to the B6 Wiki!
Quick links to all the sections on the first page! Frequently asked questions - the most common questions you may have answered here! Aftermarket Parts - parts for the B6 and B6D Tech Tutorials- tuning guides, ball diff and shock building videos and tutorials How to's and build-specific posts Team Associated Laydown transmission conversion for B6D: Laydown conversion Instruction Manuals: B6: B6 Manual and setup sheets B6D: B6D Manual and setup sheets How to Sand and Seal carbon fiber: Sanding and sealing carbon fiber Sanding and sealing carbon fiber 2 Sanding and sealing carbon fiber 3 Sanding and sealing carbon fiber 4 Charts for Quick reference:         1) put inner bearing in hub 2) slide large shim over axle all the way up to the back of the axle 3) slide axle/bone into hub carrier 4) slide small shim onto axle through hub carrier 5) push outter bearing into hub carrier using that i'm able to put my normal male silverback gorilla wheel nut tightening job and there's no binding. in the pictures that come with the shims (the pic socket posted) it seems like they want you to slide both shims onto the axle before sliding the axle into the hub carrier and like i said, that doesn't work.  I've traditionally done the diff screw head on the left side (driver's side), but have since switched to the Right side (passenger side) regardless of transmission type (3 gear RM vs 3 gear MM and 4 gear MM). Kdub (Kurt Wenger, former AE designer) had this to say on the matter: I think I count as an authority on the matter. I always run my diff screw on the right side (when sitting "inside" the car). I take off the tire and pull the outer hinge pin to get to the adjustment screw.
The right rear is the way the AE manuals state (or used to state). It really shouldn't matter since you go around turns both left and right.

I'd link the photo but I don't have enough posts yet. (Plates in question can be found on Cavs Instagram).

Yeah that definitely makes sense - I know Jarosz and Cav always changed things up with anodizing/stripping turnbuckles and the like so maybe he took some Mothers Polish to the plates.

In one of the videos they said it was steel plates. To be honest at my track I feel carpet made half of the people turn away from the hobby. Turnouts are lower then usual now.

3srcracing the track was awesome before it went in search of the ultimate traction (wet slick's track) just cant get myself to try the rug, maybe with the new B6 I will give it a chance. I am hooked on the moon dirt!!!!

I would think carpet tracks have to have a good track set up too. Just like dirt, when the track is no fun or set up weird people turn away. Next time I am in Vegas going to try 702, RC tracks of Vegas is sweet.
Have not had a lot of experience with cf towers, having a front wing may help save the front tower, rear I don't know. With B5m breaking stuff was so few and far between stopped thinking about it.
Can't wait to see build weight for 17.5 class.

Yes.
Looks like the waterfall can easily go aftermarket with some cool OEM styling to add a fan and actually get better cooling then b5.
What the take on the cf steering bolt ons. I like that there are no inserts but then a cf bolt on feels clunky and possibly weak for Akermann. I like the B5m design and ball stud. Maybe use same design with ball stud sitting horizontal then add washers in and out like the knuckle just turned 90 degrees? Or just mold it like B5m?

Tech Regular
About the carpet thing, Brent took a piece of EOS carpet with him, so guess they will be testing over in the US.

Ok, one person above says the turnbukles are ti and one person says they are not ti.
I lean towards them not being ti as they would mention that in the marketing points... But I can hope. Looks like my b5m might get gutted for a few things.
