I bought a gear diff for the t6.1 as I will for this , one of my glocks i lowered 10$ and got a bite should sell quickly tomorrow and i can invest to RC instead of Track & Field :P
the deal with the b6.1 i got was someone had it offered for sale on a site for much more than $220 and thats all I could offer him for the time being. He actually paid $40 in shipping with ups to send it out yesterday afternoon. Hoping it comes today but likely it will be saturday. (only one state away)
can you suggest any tires for driving this and or the t6.1 in some low cut grass parks. going to start there with my son so he can get the feel of steering a vehicle and liking it hopefully a sliver of how much i do he will be all about it. need to find somethings for him to get on besides video games :P
thinking about picking up this tekin rsx for the next esc especially since i have a hotwire now

Im grappling with titanium screws for the 6.1FL. I bought the protek ones but reviews say they snap. No way I'm gonna spend 110.00 for RC speed secrets screws although really cool looking. Schelle has the uppers for 75 bucks but I cant see spending almost a third of the price of kit to save 15g. I will be running the 21.5 fixed timing class at hobby action. So Im on the fence, what do you think?

You can easily get the B6.1 below 1499 g with lighter spec class eleronics (eg, RS spec is only 22g and RSX Pro is 40), 16 gauge wire (21.5 doesn't need anything thicker), and a low profile/lightweight lipo. I wouldn't spend anything on TI screws before all other weight loss options are used. Rotating mass like the diff and cvd's are more critical.
I found that the plastic pinion for my 21.5T setup was a very cheap and more effective than I expected it to be. I didn't bother with slipper delete or anything else, I don't get time to race much anyways.

Are any of the jcon or trinity motor plates lighter than the stock one? I'm talking about any aluminum ones not the carbon versions, I know those are lighter.
What lightweight parts other than Ti screws do you guys like?

I bought a b6.1 FL put titanium turnbuckles, carbon motor plate, carbon steering arms, carbon esc plate, exotek battery strap, aluminum steering rack and bellcrank (heavier than stock), aluminum bulkhead and rear hubs (also heavier than stock) with a Trinity Revtech 4200mah battery, tekin rs gen2, tekin spec R, and a savox 1258 servo and I was at 1505g with a JC standard F2 body. They don't need much to get to minimum weight. I put aluminium locknuts on it just to add some more bling and I'm probably right at minimum weight now. Oh, and I'm running the 175rc plastic pinions

Has anyone actually noted the weight savings in Titanium Screws? I weights turnbuckles once, and it was a savings of 9 grams. Of course, there are different manufactures.

I saw someone post about scrapping the direct drive for a slipper.
would it be advisable to switch parts on the b6.1 FL (factory lite) to the same on the t6.1 team kit with the gear diff like I did. High traction carpet track.
If so what besides the Gear diff do I need to purchase. Sorry I bought it as a roller and I am familiar with the t6.1 as I built that myself very recently and hadnt built an RC kit in over a decade previously
any help greatly appreciated!

okay it seems to have direct drive with it, so I can buy the gear diff , does it come with laydown transmission or how is that configured? which springs and pistons are you saying if you can link or put part #.
i got weights on the way and need to get the anti roll for the truck and buggy
