thank you for the info, switching to plastic.

Do they shorten the wheelbase by 2mm the same as a modified original arm? It may need less spacing for the shock as the wishbone mounting point seems further back on the B6.1 arms.

Good question ! as anyone got the answer ?

thank's

Kurtracing,

After not receiving a response here, I saw caster blocks (13 deg) available on the for sale area, and asked the same question there. See this thread (post 11):

Wheelbase appears to be the same as a stock 64 arm. Lower shock mount moves forward by 2mm on 6.1 arm. If you use hingepins and line up both ends of the arm, they are the same length, width, and gullwing bend. The C shock position on the 6.1 arm is the same spot as the inner hole on the 64 arm. A&B positions are pretty soft, the furthest outside is inbetween the 64 arms 2 holes.

I'm thinking the 6.1 arms would work well with the rear tower flipped to the front side of the bulkhead. This would put the shocks in a better position and you wouldn't have to shim the shocks nearly as much.

I used racers edge 30mm button head screws and schelle ballstud washers for the spacing on the upper shock mount. 30mm seems perfect length. I also move the rear inner camber ballstuds to the front of the tower.

What are you doing to them to only last 2 days? I’ve had mine for 2 years.

I think I can answer that as I've had the same issue.

I've had 2 x WTF fans last only one or two meetings, they were both taped to the chassis.

The latest one I've bolted to the rear edge of plastic side guard, basically drilled through from the front and put a nut in the triangular cutout on the rear edge. Since doing that the fan has had about 30 or 40 packs through it and still going strong.

I suspect that the fan is moving on the tape and some of the internal wire terminations are failing due to this.
