It would be nice to see AE make a proper molded part like this, but the aftermarket will surely have us covered either way.

The fan mount on the TLR car works very well, just one screw to be able to slide the fan/mount up and out. I just don't think there's room for a similar setup on the 6.1.
It's possible that the Exotek fan mount (band around the motor) might be able to do the job, but I have never liked how close it comes to bridging the A/B/C pads on the motor.

So what is the consensus on a b6 body fitting on the B6.1? I seen the video where Rivkin was using a b6 body but on associated's website it lists the B6.1 body as a new part number.
I need to have some new bodies painted and want to have one on hand for the new car if possible.

Havent had the chance of driving much last year, so I want to start with a new build an car.
I have a B6D with pretty upgrades and want to transfer them
> alum steering --> seems ok
> ti-turnbuckles --> ok
> Brass C/D --> wont work
> 3G, 4G and Laydown --> dunno?
> VRP Shock Towers --> maybe?
I started looking up if these parts transfer to the B6.1D, but I am not sure. Can anyone verify or correct me?
Thanks guys!

Steering and turnbuckles should be good.
I thought I saw the D block was the same. C is for sure different.
The 3 gear and 4 gear stand-up from the B6 will fit the 6.1, but you need to use the B6 towers, top shaft, ball stud mount, and maybe a few other odds and ends that would already be on your B6D.
Not sure if the front bolt pattern changed for the shock tower. Rear tower would still work if you used the B6 standup transmission.

We race outdoors in the summer here.. track is hard packed and not always blown off.. Should i stick with the b6d or will the new car generate the required traction for outdoor racing when it isnt high traction?

From my point of view, the car just out of the box, the B6D is a better option than a B6.1D. Maybe when a standard trans is released,it will be a better option, but for now the layback trans is not the bestone for outdoor loose dirt tracks.
Hi mate,
From what I understand, a new standup transmission will be shown shortly (option) and the existing gearboxes will still fit.
The 6.1D comes with the shorter chassis, longer rear shocks, machined pistons, +1mm ackerman and 67mm rear bones standard, so with the relatively cheap option of a standup transmission I think it will actually be better out of the box than the 6D. There are several tracks Ive been to where the laydown is good but just needs a little more weight on the rear, in these cases the layback may be perfect. I cant wait to test it out on the track!
