He's not the seller.. he was just showing you the link. The chassis doesn't appear to be dented. (but don't pay 400 for a used one. My track just sold two NIB ones for $420 each)

You got me thinking out of the box and I found a way to make it happen. Now the rest of us are patiently waiting to see what you come up with.

Is this a direct fit?

If I use 76T, what pinion for 17.5 blinky class?

Yep. If sticking with the stock slipper, I can't recommend the Kimbrough spur gears enough (made for the B4). All you need is the spur, and the pads. I prefer the high torque pads.

Gearing? Start with the 69 spur, and a 31ish pinion. If you run the Fantom motors I can really get you dialed in. PM or call me.

Awesome, already looks great Brandon! This is going to make an already great car even better, and potentially could be the best thread on this site. Will be fun to watch it develop.

What's a cheaper substitute for the following springs?

Pink fronts gold rears

Any equivalent losi springs?

Losi springs are more expensive. Because eventually, you will get the x-gear springs anyway . (buying twice always costs more!) There is no comparison, and worth the dent in the wallet. The car comes with pinks/reds... I would run those for now unless you see the need to change. Traction came down this weekend at my track, and I ended up running white front/gold rear and the car was fantastic. YMMV.

There were lots of RB6 running at the CRCRC Midwest Champs this weekend and they looked great. The A main had at least 5 RB6, and Tebo took the TQ and win. Andy Dibrino took third with the RB6. Hopefully we will see a setup from Tebo from this race soon.
