I am in process of learning on setting up my car and i have this question
Hope someone is willing to share their knowledge
The default setting for rear hub insert is “0”
What is the effect if i change the insert to “1”, “2” or “3”?
Will a higher position of rear hub change the rear grip characteristic?
Thanks for sharing

When you just use the springs, the arms/CVAturnbuckles end up sloping from the hub down to the chassis, which really alters the roll center and camber gain characteristics. Instead, to lower the car from a rough offroad track to a smooth carpet one you would use the #3 pill, flip the rear hub link insert to lower the upper ball stud in the hub, and add the +3 pill to the differential. Those three things (hub insert, adjusting the ball stud on the hub, and moving the diff up) will keep the geometry the same while lowering the car. In the front, you'll want to play with the adjustment shims built into the hub carriers to match.

When running at lower ride heights, you will want to raise the hubs and diff to maintain proper roll center setting and driveshaft angle.

Thanks, I took your advice the hobbywing 3.1 should arrive today along with the program box. Now I just have to get a radio and will be all set. Thinking about the futaba 3pv. Thanks for your help!

Are the b5 front wheel hex the same as the b6 ones? Except for the material used? As i want steel ones instead of aluminum

As a follow up. I received the 6.1 standard rear tower. As I predicted there isn't much difference in the B6 and 6.1 tower. The B6 tower is about 1.5mm taller at the shock mounts. Pictures attached showing the difference. I will be using the 6.1 tower but would say if you are converting B6 to 6.1 it is not 100% necessary as long as you increase droop/ stroke at least 1mm to compensate.

B6 to B6.1 conversion
It seems that there is enough room to drill B6 C mount holes in the B6.1 chassis
Old slipper assembly fits perfectly into the new gearbox, there is 1mm side to side movement. Perfect fit seems to be 0.5mm washer on each side.
B6 shock tower bottom holes do not align new gearbox

I retrofitted a 6.1D transmission onto my B6. Had to drill 4x new holes. The two for the transmission didn't go very well but it works. I also found that the B6 slipper self-locates once tightened. Don't forget the .5mm washers between the motor plate and the transmission housing if you don't use the spur-gear guard and DO NOT forget to use the suggested 10mm (9mm would be even better) screws to mount the transmission. Anything longer will distort the transmission case and lock up the idler gear. I believe this is a root cause of binding on the stock car. 10mm might still be a hair too long
