Thinking about buying a B6.1D or the lite version for 17.5. I run at Camarillo, CA it's a hard packed loose dirt for the most part. What one do you guys recommend or should I just stick with the b6d and wait for a new buggy? I'm assuming at the rate AE is releasing stuff one is coming out by the new year.

Has anyone had trouble meeting the minimum weight with box setup, 17.5 blinky? With an 4500mah SMC, my buggy is at 1470g. Thought in getting the brass bulkhead

I wouldn’t call it “trouble”, but my FL came in at 1494 before adding any weight. That’s the name of the game though: get the car super light and add weight exactly where you want to make it balanced. Want more weight up front? Brass bulkhead. More in the rear? Brass C block. Balanced but too bouncy? Battery weight. One side lighter than the other? Stick-on weights.

Aren't they going to be making it more high traction dirt with some special sauce/syrup for one of the upcoming races?

Uh oh, all this talk about the 6.1FL not being great for Camarillo has me worried! I'm just getting back into the hobby and I'll be running at Camarillo and just picked up the 6.1FL. I thought the 6.1FL was the 6.1D model but with lighter drivetrain components for the stock/17.5 racing...guess I should have researched better.

4600 shorty. After asking the wise people here, I decided there was no reason to run lower capacity batteries because you get more voltage drop during the heat. FWIW that weight was just after building it. I later added ballast, motor fan, transponder, and chassis sheet, and it's at 1554.

Has anyone tried this +5 chassis on high grip carpet? I know the 6.1 went to ~3mm shorter chassis than the B6. I am running B64 rear arms to add wheelbase to my 6.1. To me the longer chassis / wheelbase seems more stable, just not sure if +5 is too much....

Don't worry, you made a good choice. First off, look up some of the setup sheets on petitrc and you'll see that many of them are running laydown and layback gearboxes even on dirt. Second, the platform is the same so a few minor part swaps will turn it into whatever you want. I'm far from an authority on setups, but mine has served me well so far. If you drop by tomorrow you can take a look, or I'd be happy to send you my setup sheet for a good place to start.

Kommando, all you need to run layback instead of laydown is the case and the idler. Everything else swaps over.

edit: Looking at your profile, if you're the Phil I think you are, we have raced together at HRH a couple of times. I had the Batman B5M, and you beat me both times.
