Sunday I got another 3rd place podium finish with the B6D latemodel.
The fastest guys in Sprint Car are running AFX converted B6's
If I was going to run a Sprint id just get the Custom Works.
Just to let you offroad guys know a B6 and B6D can be competitive in dirt oval also.

I got my long tower and b5m rear shock kits today. I sprayed one side of the shock tower with the clear flex seal as suggested earlier in this thread. It looks like crap and dries foggy not clear. Don't think I like that much.
As someone said earlier; I can just move shocks from my b5m over. So, I just built the shock kit with the eyelets that came with them which look the same as the short eyelets from the b6d kit. As such, I had +5 spring perches on the b5m so I put + 5 on these for the b6d as well.
I put the same pistons and springs that I had on the stock b6d shocks and used the same mounting locations. My goal was to not to negatively change the setup and handling from what I already had...as I liked it the way it was for now. Just looking to improve the cushioning from the added oil volume and if I get a little extra rear grip...well, I won't complain about that either.
Does it sound like I am going about this right? Or, am I missing/forgetting something?

Mounting Tires - Holes or No Holes
I am mounting a set of Gold Dirt Webs on Associated Rims for my B6 that I use on a Clay track. The rims have holes already....do I put holes in the tires also?

If you race outdoors on looser dirt, it's better to vent the tires and plug the rims so dirt can escape.

Anyone else having trouble with the pin (trans side) coming out of the 67mm Schelle aluminum bone? Have about 10 packs on mine and if I don't hammer it back in every run it'll work its way out. Emailed Schelle, zero response. They are basically trash at this point, pretty lame.

(The newest batch of CVA bones have a custom machined drive pin which will not shift in the softer aluminum material.)

Finished up my 3rd race day (back in the hobby after a few years off). Decided to run mod buggy since turn out was light for the holiday weekend. Even though I have ran 1/8th scale ebuggy, It is the first time I have run mod buggy since the early 90's. Ran my new B6 with Tekin 8.5. It killed my driving. I have ran my stock buggy the last two race days and they went really well. After the first two heats today, I decided I was ruining my driving style. The two days running stock buggy I felt like I was getting the hang of it back in short order. Dropping the mod buggy on the track I honestly felt like a true beginner. It was like a light switch for power. Either on or off and no in between. The driver was horrible! Anyway, after round two they had some down time and I asked if I could make a few laps with my stock buggy. After a couple of laps of getting used to "no speed"...I turned faster laps than I had been in mod. So the moral of my story is....no mod buggy for me for a while. Start slow....get smoother...then try to go faster!!

Portx that's 100% the truth man. I run a 7.5 on a larger track with the punch turned wayyyyyy down for the tight stuff so I can still be smooth but have the top end I want on the long straights. At a smaller track I run at I use a 17.5 in the mod buggy class and I've NEVER been out motored or failed to be on the podium due to the little motor. A smaller track is all about corner speed and smooth throttle over power and I've won mod buggy with a 17.5 there. Huge tracks are a different story though of course.

Slodsm...yes this is a smaller indoor carpet off-road track. I made the mistake of buying a stock buggy, mod buggy and a 4wd B64 all at once basically. I really should have taken my time and started at stock buggy for an extended time. After the first night in stock buggy I thought to myself..."oh yeah I remember how to do this and it will come back quick". Well mod buggy just gave me a reality check! The mod buggy and 4wd car will have to wait. Sadly the 4wd car has not hit the track yet....

i found the opposite. when my ESC started playing up and i lost a bit of punch i found i was having to overdrive the car to keep up with the pack. now ive got my grunt back i can relax a bit and not drive 11/10ths through the turns and jumps but still make good lap times
