Ball diff, front arms and tower are basically it. And the stand up 3 or gear 4 tranny stuff if you don't want to run the lay down you have.

thanks guys... went straight to Hot Rod Hobbies and got the right turnbuckle.




It is a B6 and it's laydown....but I don't really see any difference running a laydown or stand up at my track. It's a small track so you can't really feel the difference.

Happy to help

I'm in the process of getting back into the sport. I've got a B6D coming and I'm pretty unsure of the ESC to get. I plan on running indoor and outdoor offroad (carpet and dirt). The indoor track is open on the motor, commonly people are running 10.5 to 13.5. I always raced stock brushed stuff back in the day, so picking a new esc and motor is tough. I was leaning towards a HobbyWing XR10 Stock, but not sure if thats the right choice or not. I need to get some wheel time in before getting a really quick motor. I was thinking of starting with a 17.5 and getting smooth and consistant before going hotter. I'd like to hear what others are using and running given some of my info. Thanks.

I love ,,my xerun v2.1 new for $75 (ebay)all i did was upgrade the firmware for the blinky mode class, but the new V3 version is nice I think you can find them for around $130, Im on a budget so v2.1 in both my vehicles

My suggestion is to get the hobbywing stock spec.v3.1 just in case after running 17.5 or superstock and you want to try mod...you can do so with this esc.

why get a stock spec when get more continuous amperage & more max burst on the Xerun V3 for $20 more?

I know people running the XR10 Stock Spec with a 7.5T mod motor and they say it's great; needs the fan though.

I personally run it fanless with a 17.5 in blinky class, and have found it to be really, really good.

One thing to keep in mind, if you're going to be running 17.5, is that weight might be more important than if you were running mod. I have a Sanwa RX-481 and the XR10 Stock Spec, Pucks, and no titanium anything, and I'm underweight without a chassis protector!

Even though I have a Reedy 410 in my car right now, for the footprint, adjustability and pretty much everything I can only say Tekin. I've had Tekins in my cars for years and will probably do it again.

If you want to get smooth with a 17.5 before other motors, the Green Eco power from Amain is a $60 motor with a lot of bang for the buck

Would you be able to comment more on this? Reason I ask is I'm helping a friend get his new b6d built, and he ordered the new xr10 stock spec and a 10.5 motor. Reading the HW specs, that ESC is only good down to 10.5 in touring. A little worried for him. As a new driver, was thinking of turning his punch and EPA down to help, plus the fan. Your post gives me hope he might be ok 😀

I called my local hobby shop and that is discontinued. They don't have much in stock. I'm also in Canada and trying to avoid ordering in from the US with brokerage charges and shipping charges for a single item gets really expensive. The only versions available are the new pro. The 3.1 versions are discontinued as well so they can't order one.

If you get it shipped usps it does help not getting dinged brokerage fees. I have never been charged when I have ordered from absolute hobbyz and shipped it usps even on kits.

Absolute doesn't carry any good esc tho just tekin.

Thats interesting. Last time I used UPS, they charged me $35 to fill out the import. I found a stock spec 3.1 on Amazon and picked that up to get me going.
