I agree, 16.5/15.5 is a great combination on asphalt. I also ran long camber links front and rear, but it was a huge track.

This is what i noticed other people may want to step in and correct me if im wrong.

Can anyone else add to this?

I tested for a few races the b cam, however not with diff, it was with spool at front, and ball diff rear, feels good, but not too much, so much better the A cam, even if you´re a loose belt setting....

Yes you can. You'll need to add a shim between the block and arm on the outer hinge pin because there will be a little slop there. .25-.3mm is normally enough. 6.1 steering blocks still work too.

You have to add a shim with the 6.1 hubs on a 6.1 also. And a grub screw.

Is it possible there is a delay on the 6.1 hubs because they are adding a hole for a grub screw to them?

Absolutely not, i´m not saying that the b cam doesn´t work!. To me is hard to believe that you ask about things that you can test in base on your track conditions.......

We cool bro, You are right I do need to test it out I was just looking for the general answer so I know what I need to expect when I first test it out. I'm still new to touring cars and amazed at how even the smallest adjustment makes such a big difference. I noticed that none of the curent setup sheets for the team drivers never use it and i just wanted to know why.

It is stiff initially and becomes much softer as it compresses. I like using it in the rear of my TC on carpet and the front on asphalt.

The RSD 15.5 is my go-to front spring for asphalt. It works great.

On tighter asphalt tracks, Ive found the RSD 15.5 front and AE Silver rear make a very nice combo. They seem to compliment each other very well and result in a car that is well balanced, but doesn't sacrifice response and initial turn-in for mid-corner steering.

Are there any coupon codes for the Team Associated site? I would much rather be buying from my local hobby store than paying $9 for shipping for a few plastic parts.

Thanks.

Easy way around that is to glue the rear insert flush with the c hub then put some glue on the front insert, push it half way in then quickly slide the c hub through the arm. This will push the insert in enough to fit in the arm but keep it out to make up for the gap where the shim would be needed.

I would assume they are fixing the molding issue that resulted in air pockets in every c hub I have seen that broke. After I went through 4 in one day from brushing boards I put the old 6 c's and haven't broke one yet.
