Sorry if this question has been asked before, if I'm running the tall rear shock tower and 31mm shock bodies, which shock eyelets are people running? I assume the long ones. Running shocks on the rear of the tower also.

Do I need part ASC916put 76 to do +3?

This is a pic of what I did for now - put the top 1mm spacer above the spindle and added a 1mm spacer on top of the 2mm. Any reason this wouldn't do the same thing?

Yeah you have to buy the optional kit to put the 3 on the bottom to get the lowest setup possible. I was kinda upset you have to buy the kit to get the one you need.

Pretty sure my kit came with the 1/3 and the 2/2 inserts. There where 4 inserts on the tree

They are talking about the front axle height, the blue aluminum shims that raise it up or down.
I thought my kit came with the 0 and 3 shims but I could be wrong. I will check when I get home later

The B6d comes with 0 and 3, the b6 comes with 1 and 2

If that is the case wouldn't that be exactly opposite of what most setups call for?
Meaning most carpet B6 setups use +3 and most B6D use +2 or +1??

Edit: I looked at a few more B6D setups and appears 0 is common. Sounds like AE really should include at least the 0 alum part in both kits if not 0 and 3.

The B6D would have the larger 3mm on top and the 0 on the bottom, opposite of the B6.
Your right, you would think they would include all of them in both kits

Hey guys, I don't know how many of you guys race 17.5 buggy and have to get your cars weighed prior to racing but my track just started this week. My car was box stock except the MIP pucks system which I know is lighter weight. After practice I decided to try adding the 12G brass C plate for a little more rear grip, and went to the first heat and they checked my weight and it was 1502!!! This car with the MIP Pucks and nothing else would be quite a bit underweight for most 1500 weight limits.

Our mod laydown car with full 4500 shorty and 25g C block weighs 1534. This car is very light out of the box and so tunable. That's why it makes an excellent stock car too.

I agree, don't take my comment as a complaint because it wasn't meant to be one. I was simply shocked at just how light it really was. Like I said, we never had our stock buggies "teched" before yesterday so I was shocked to find out that even after adding the brass that it was only 1502 :eek:

Im sure there are people out there running the Brass C block on the B6. Is there anyone running them on the carpet? just curious on handling characteristics with mod. I was thinking about trying it.

Nope, I knew you weren't complaining. It's all good.

The fact that you don't have to do anything to a B6 or B6D to get them to 1500 is why TLR is coming out with a lightweight car. I was able to get a B5M to 1411g......I'm sure that I could get the B6 down to 50 less than that. I'm just saying....I found that my cars were the easiest to drive closer to 1500 so I haven't even tried to do anything other than add weight to my B6 series cars.
