Anyone running the 3 gear standup? I am debating trying it for giggles. Will the layback topshaft not work?

Àrr you talking about the b6 or b6.1? There is no layback option for the b6. If going from the b6 laydown to standup there is no difference in the top haft. The idler gear is different though.

And prevention would be to install a longer ballstud that protrudes beyond the bracket so you can extract it with pliars.

I also don't use the standard blue Associated spacers under my ballstuds any longer. Switched over to the larger OD spacers used on Losi 22 vehicles. More stable for sure. Warning: Losi spacers are not cheap...LOL

I didnt say layback or laydown, I said standup. As in, I want more rear grip :) I know the b6 stand up fits and I might try that, if i still have mine. But I cant find any actual picks of the b6.1 with the new stand up anywhere.

I got confused because you asked if the layback topshaft works in the standup configuration and you posted this in the B6 thread and not the b6.1 thread :nod: anyway, you will need the standup gearcase, motor plate and topshaft in order to convert to the standup configuration. Here is a link to the matrix on converting to the different configurations.

Is it possible to run the rear shocks on the front. Looks liek it would require a mod similar to the b64 +7mm

no mod required

AE has bigger OD washers as well, not sure if they are any cheaper or not

Can anyone give me the correct tie-rod lengths for 0 and 0.5 and +1 degrees of toe-out on the B6? Thanks.

Unfortunately, they are different depending on what steering arms you are using, how many bump steer washers you have, your camber setting, your caster setting, your ride height, and how many ackerman spacers you are using. Best thing to do is adjust them after setting up all other suspension/steering parameters.

Only ones I see have a bigger ID too.

31384, 31385, 31386

they advertise them as bulkhead washers but I use them for ballstuds without issue

At $9 per size for the AE ones, Losi is cheaper. But, I do like blue...LOL
