And I went back forever pages looking for that info
I'll shut up and go finish my build now.
Oh, I won't be editing the wiki- I'd hate to mess with the great work y'all have done

I'm going to do the same with the brass c mount. We will see how it goes

Had the B6D out for the first time tonight great car. We have a medium grip track that sometimes can be on the higher medium grip. Thought I would try the laydown transmission first.
Don't know that I will ever use the stand up it drives so good. I got the AE titanium screw kit. I used them on my B5 really liked them. Not too happy with the B6 titanium screws. they seem too soft and a couple had the head strip really easy. I did pre thread the holes before using them and have good drivers.

I'm using the Reedy RT1408. I wanted a light LP servo up there so I can have margin to add weight where/when needed using the tuning weights.

I did as well. What a stellar servo. Really impressed with the Reedy product.

So drove the car for the first time last night, built the car box stock with the exceptions of the alum upgrades and brass c mount. The car is very easy to drive has great traction but for me it lacked a bit of steering. Didn't want to make any changes as I was still getting used to the car. Our track is a bumpy low traction track so was impressed how easy it was to drive. I also have 22 3.0 with same motor that I have been working on the setup for some time now. In the first round I ran the 3.0 finished with a 16 5.10 with fast lap 18.8 2nd round went out with the b6 and did a 16 5.10 with a 18.4. Made 1 mistake which cost me tq. Very happy so far just need to work on getting a bit of steering into the car. Just some input for any guys that are debating which car to get.

The lower wing mount is cool, but can someone explain what the rear body mount is for?
