the slim wheels are intended for the narrower carpet tires (https://www.amainhobbies.com/jconcep...12960?v=507813). If you're on dirt, stick with the normal front wheels/tires (e.g. https://www.amainhobbies.com/proline...85801?v=377179).

https://www.teamassociated.com/parts...at_front_arms/ <- these are for the B6D and can't be used on the B6 without the flat arm tower. The specification indicates that it can be used on the B6 without anything else needed.
https://www.teamassociated.com/parts...ng_front_arms/ this is actually labeled partially correct. This doesn't have the "D" designation whereas all resellers do. The site also indicates it's usable on both B6 and B6D which obviously isn't possible without the shock tower replacement here as well.
I almost bought the B6 "flat arms" thinking that's what I had because...labeled B6 and luckily I sent my cart to a friend who corrected it otherwise I would have ended up with spare arms I didn't want.

It doesn't matter if they are switchable with different towers, the fact is the B6 comes with gullwing. There is absolutely no reason it should be advertised as a B6D gullwing arm anywhere.

Let me change it up:
You have a Corolla LE and need new shocks. You buy shocks that are for the same model and they indicate they are for the LE & S and order it and receive it. You go to install it and find out the mounting holes don't match up and then later find out that it wasn't indicated anywhere that you had to buy a bracket kit to use it on the advertised model, wouldn't you be a bit peeved?
The point is, the B6 comes with gullwing, the B6D comes with flat. That's just how it is. There is no such thing as a B6D gullwing or a B6 flat. The B6D flat fits on a B6 with different tower, the B6 gullwing fits on the B6D with a different tower.
If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and you call it a cow, it doesn't make it a cow. :P

That's not how ae markets it. They put it as both being "B6" arms. Did you own a B5m? Did you put rear motor arms on the rear of it?

A lot of fuss over nomenclature. It's the same car with a different set of initial included option parts. Geez. This was like week one type stuff.

What % of these 50 people are running on carpet? I'm wondering if this is a carpet vs. dirt thing, as my front tower is wearing a bit on dirt, but it's survived quite a few really bad crashes.

EDIT: Even a 1% failure rate for today is considered way too high.
