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.
Thanks.

I don't think you will require the D shock tower as this is only required with the D shocks which are slightly longer in the body.

The things I changed was move the rear shocks to the back...replace gear diff to ball diff, change pistons, springs, and shock oil, ran a battery weight, change tires,. and use Ray Munday's dirt setup.
Buggy handles awesome...turns like a dime.

Mounting motor fan
Newbie question here. How do you mount a motor fan on your b6.1? I have seen a few options: a) angled mount from exotek directly on the motor itself, b) custom 3d printed chassis brace from shapeways, c) battery brace/fan mount from schelle. Would you recommend one over the other? Thank you in advance!

The cleanest look is using the exotek mount imho.

Double sided taped to the chassis directly next to the motor in the remaining space left in the battery tray area. This only works with the laydown transmission and battery forward but it fits very well and blows air down the side of the motor as well as on the end bell.

Associated direct drive for turf
I thought I read somewhere that there's a revised version of the AE direct drive that can be used on turf (full size idle gear), but I can't find it anywhere.
At the AE site the pictures shows a full size idle gear but they do mention that it's not intended for carpet/turf use. Has anyone had any experience with it? Or is Schelle lockout still the way to go?

So with the short topshaft revised to be wider, it would be the same as the Schelle lockout (or the Avid lockout option), as they work with the stock longer full size topshaft, right? Shouldn't have any stripping issues

My bad, I meant topshaft! Was thinking on idler stripping when I wrote and had it backwards.
