The 6R came to me as a shelf queen, the car looked so good it almost could've passed as new, the set up was out of the box. I decided to run a Werks B7 Pro w/OS 2060, this thing ripped, off the bottom thru the mid, no real top end because our track is small and never got it let it out.
For the first time in nearly 6 weeks and close to a dozen trips to the track, I was contender, the 6R felt planted, hooked the corners like on rails and I never lost the rear end coming out, like so frequantly on the 8.2. Im very much impressed with the 6R as I knew I would, drove the 5 Prospec and 5T Prospec a few years back and loved em.
So glad I got the 6R I jumped on the 6E.
i didnt have many compaints with mine. dirt in the battery box sucked so i installed the complete x7 radio tray $18. changed diffs to 7/10/3 for a bit more traction and will be trying 5 in the rear soon. only thing ive broken was 2 rear a arms from high flat landings and my pillow balls seem to come loose often which gives me noticable slop in my front wheels. Ive been working trying to get more steering out of it too, if i could get that id be super happy
