R/C Tech Forums - Team Associated B6 & B6D thread

I looked through the parts compatibility list. and it looks like the bones will work from a b5m in the B6. Just wanted to make sure that if I held onto my mip pucks/ball diff that I could use it in the b6? Thanks. Will the bones work only or will the whole assembled axle work?

You can use them, but same way as if you were to use a B5 AE diff, you have to put shims on the out drives. That's all.

I have one question, imagine someone buy a B6d, and all necessary parts to convert it to laydow as an option to use when racing in high grip tracks. Will I need 2 bodys?. Maybe I am wrong, but if you cut your body to fit in a B6d trans, when you change to laydown trans it will not be covered by anything because the part of the body to cover the spur and pinnion has been already cutted.

This means we will need two bodys depending what trans we use.

Yeah no big deal though

It's already the case with B5M and 3/4 gear gearbox change ;)

It's in the parts section of the B6D page on AE's website.

I found it funny because I thought I was the last guy still running 4 gear on the B5M. :smile:

Not exactly, in the B5M you can cut your body to use both trans with only 1 body, but in the B6D, if you cut it, when you install the laydown trans, the spur will not be protected by the body itself, so it will be outside the body and with no cover.

You're right; and then it's probably illegal...

I agree, probably illegal.
And two bodies needed in this case.

A little bit of deduction based reasoning tells me that the b5m ball and gear diff will work perfect in the b6...can anyone prove me wrong?

The B6 diffs are 2mm wider (1mm per side). The new part number for the gear diff includes the needed spacers so you can run the B5 series gear diff in the B6. They are just using the rear axle spacers they made for when using the +4 C/D mounts on the B5. The small spacers are not needed.
