I want to get a car for dirt and commercial carpet. considering getting a 6d then converting to b6. What is needed ? 2 cars is not a option. I figured arms and towers and diff housing and parts.

Front arms and tower are not mandatory, the real difference is ball diff and standup tranny

I have a General tranny question.3gear trans, I plan on racing both 17.5t class and mod class, probably a 7.5t for example purposes. If i leave the 69 spur for the 17.5 setting per manual gear chart, can i just use a lower pinion for the 7.5 and if so, is there a difference is how the car will feel with the smaller pinion & spur for the mod?? formula i used was tranny 2.60x69(spur) divided by pinion(18) i came up with 9.96 any insight would be greatly appreciated..

Normal 7.5 gearing (for me) is ROUGHLY..81/20 = 4.05
To get that same ratio with a 69t spur you would have to run a 17t pinion..
69/17 = 4.058

If it fits, run it. If you're mortal like the rest of us, you'll never feel the difference between 78/21 and 69/18 on the track.
But it will move the motor farther back and maybe you'll notice that in terms of handling.

Shock towers breaking: to reiterate, near razor sharp edges cut carpet, dig into dirt and clay and will snap when your buggy comes to a dead stop. I have a horizontal crack in my tower from just such a crash.
Solution: Mildly take down the sharp edges with emery cloth, cover with a Lexan shock tower cover or shock tower protectors, use wide washers and/or countersunk washers for strain relief on the shock mounting hole. You can seal with CA if you like, but not needed once the edges are smooth.

I agree. Sealing the edges on todays CF is basically cosmetic..But for the love of God people that crap is sharp! I sand ALL the edges on all of my CF parts, not just the outside edges. I do all the internal holes/cutouts. I just makes handling the car easier, you don't feel like you're picking up a knife by the blade...so to speak
