Default What 5mm bullets?

what 5mm bullets are people using? Low profile ones do not really allow the bullet to seat the whole way. All of the 5mm I have found are low profile.

You can solder your wires at an angle (like 30-40 degrees up) so they clear the battery strap, or you can use a little bit longer wires so they stick out away from the battery and clear the strap by pointing out to the sides.

The higher the cup the more preload.

No handling difference. They are there for clearance and compatibility for different length springs.

Use the shortest one you can (they are stronger) without it hitting the arm at full droop, unless your spring is too short and you are close to the bottom of the threads on the shock body for preload adjustment.

No. The arms themselves are the same length from hinge pin to hinge pin. Might need to accommodate the narrower shock mounting location somehow, but the driveshaft won't need to be changed.

Another related question, what is the deal with the long vs short eyelet/shock ends?

That can be used to change the overall length of the shock effectively raising or lowering ride height.

Primarily it's used to keep droop the same when moving the shock locations around. On the front arms, you should use the long eyelet on the outer hole to keep a similar amount of downtravel/droop to a short eyelet on the inner hole. On the rear, if you are running 2 degrees of anti-squat, the long eyelets on the back of the arm will produce similar droop to using the short eyelet on the front of the arm since the arm is angled and the mounting holes are at different heights.

Can I get a link to a good stock buggy setup for a tight track with lots of jumps to flat. I am traction rolling going from jumps to flats and want a softer setup.

Hey guys, I just picked up a b6.1, but I wanted a 6.1D. Got a good deal, and I'll be converting it to the D. With the laydown gearbox, is it just a matter of swapping the internals from the 6.1 over to the laydown box? Also, the only difference I could find between the two kits in terms of parts that I would need to convert to the D, is the rear shock tower, springs, and laydown case - is there any other parts that I need to make the swap?

Thanks.
