The track is not as flat as it looks and there is some interesting traction issues with the grain of the turf thats keeping people on there toes.

Not all turf is created equal.. When our turf was brand new I was heavily annoyed at how low grip it was..,, oddly enough a track down the road ordered the same turf and immediately way more traction was available... Plus every track change results in low traction till the lines are broke in. Guys are always going back and forth between the mini pins and the mini spikes depending on the track lay out. Dirt guys that think turf is just a joke and it's like a video game need to try it to understand it's not as high grip as people think... Plus, the fast guys run new tires because it's disastrous with worn out tires on turf.

I took the time to go back and find Sockets post, I don't see an issue with it. It's a simple short answer.

And honestly, it was nicer than most of his posts..:lol:

I hadn't laughed out loud in awhile, but that did it. :)

I have raced once in the last 5 weeks.

And my next summer course and vacation are promising I won't race again for another 5 weeks...

Then fall semester starts...

So you have a reason....what until you have a wife kids and work. RC for life!

Had my B5 on shelf so when B6 gets here it is like a honeymoon with buggy again, been taking T5 and SC5 out.

Ouch, I see said blind man. Toss buggy in closet!!

If it wasn't for 4-10's I'd never see the track. 3 kids and a wife plus an auto detailing side business. Choose between earning extra money, mountain biking, dirt biking or Rc practice. This summer is probably out for Rc! And yet I'm still awaiting that b6!!!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q: How can I fit my B5M diffs in my B6/D?
A: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.

are those spacers available separately? part #?

That's a lot of work, normally we just cut them with body scissors. They are also available in a premount.

JConcepts offers a narrow front wheel for the B5 /6.
