I doubt there would be a point. From what I have seen so far, even the YZ-2 and B6 bodies are basically identical except for the cut-out markings.

Is there any way to get a low profile servo to work with the JC aluminum servo mount/brace on the B6? Where the wire exits the servo it doesn’t have enough clearance with this mount. Thanks

What servo? I have zero issues with a reedy low-pro servo.

Are you guys going to come out with the precut bag for the Sanwa MT44?
It's on the list, but no ETA.

Not at the moment, but when we do a new style, it will be for the B6.1 series.

Some work and some don't; unfortunately I don't have a list. I have used the Reedy shorty servo and it bolts right in.

Ok, your Reedy “low profile” servo is only a tiny bit shorter than a standard servo. The Xpert and the Savox I have are both shorter and unfortunately won’t work with the mount.

The Reedy Low-Pro is right at about 9mm shorter than the standard version.

So trying to build an SCT for the Ocala, FL Jconcepts supercup. Can anyone recommend an ESC and 17.5T motor combo please. Does not need to be top of the line, independent race as well.

Do these work?

The servo I’m running is a bit over 4mm shorter and the Reedy is slightly narrower which would give a bit more clearance to the wire.

Unfortunately I don't have any experience with these items, but I hear good things about the hobbywing speedo. You probably want a motor that will allow for timing though. This probably isn't the best thread for that type of info either .

So if I could only pick one 8th scale buggy tire between triple dees and reflexes, which one should I go with and why?

That could be track dependent, but I would say the Reflex is the most versatile tire currently available from JConcepts. I would venture to say it's probably the most universal tire across the board from all manufactures .
