I'll be using it at Hot Rod Hobbies in Saugus which is a 1/10 track, typically set up with a lot of turns and one triple, a decent straight the goes into a sweeper.
Anyway I am sure this has been asked a million times but there are a lot of pages here....for this buggy and track is the B6/2058 combo the way to go instead of the B5?
Also, I assume there is no problem running Byrons Race Gen 30% the way it is shimmed right out of the box? Thanks!
IMO from what I'v seen and ran/run at Hot Rods the B6 /2058 is a awesome combo. BUT some of the faster guy at H.R. are even running the B2 in there Buggys ( for Hot Rods track). ie Larry, Steve, Mike, Randy I think they prefer the B2 over the B6. I run at H.R. also. Remember this is just MY opinion from what I've seen and heard with talking to them.

P.s. I have a B5 I might go to H.R. today. if I do go you are welcome to try it out. but i have a 2013 pipe not the 2058 but some one there might let us use one. so you can try it.
