Alright, now let's get down to the brass tacks.. Are parts only production runs occurring yet? Will parts be available in the hobby shops when the kits arrive? As we all know every car release of every kind has the same problem. Joe HotShoe has to buy 2 kits to have parts on hand for the first month in case he breaks an arm, tower, etc. because even with LHS' having items on order or even backorder they are not available. John Newbie buys a kit, comes out to the track and ends his race day before running a qualifier because he broke in practice. What good does it do me to have a car, break something, and then not be able to replace it? This is the Number 1 reason why I never pre-order a kit or heck, even consider buying one until I see parts on the wall. So have we changed our ways this time around?

Yep there are only a few differences. Pretty sure its on the first page but I'll go over them real quick.
Everything is the same but:
B6-Gear diff, B6D-Ball Diff
B6-Laydown Transmission, B6D-Stand up 3 gear Trans (Idler gears are different also)
B6-Gullwing front Arms/Tower, B6D Flat front arms/Tower
you can buy all of those parts separately and convert either one to either the B6 or B6D for fairly cheap.

The wiki is there so people don't have to ask and awnser the same questions over and over. Socket is pointing out something you might not have been aware of. A little direct yes, but not really rude. Maybe after you have more than 7 posts and spent hours building the wiki only to have people ask the same things over and over you will understand.

Not too sure. However, I did check with 702 Raceway here Las Vegas and they said they will actually have parts in the shop before you will even get the car. Like next week or the following. The owner said most hobby shops will have the parts before the car comes out because they are given the list of parts and order recommendations from Associated as merchants so that they can support the car when it is released. Hope his helps.

Hello, I have worked tirelessly to compile data and create a wiki for the brand car I'm currently running.
So has rc Buddha for the b6 and b6d. Neither of us are factory drivers or are compensated in any way for our efforts.
I'm not asking for a thank you, I'm asking that instead of posting a recycled question, please grab a big glass of water and a note pad, and read the wiki. It's there for your use, my use, and everyone elses. However, it's not worth anything if you don't use it.
If you don't like my responses, I'm sure you can be a big boy and ignore it. I added a smiley there to lighten my comment, however it still stands, use the wiki.
