Yeah that's the set up I'm trying to achieve, I know the kit comes with the rear hub inserts to do it, but do you have to buy the different front hat bushings to change the front axel height or can you do it with the ones that come in the kit? And if so do I just put the thicker one on bottom?

So what the consensus to treating the Edges of the CF shock towers with CA glue?

sand and ca glue, A MUST, In my opinion
seals, helps prevent splintering, cracking, delamination....

if you ever had a TC with a carbon chassis , You know

been raced and crashed, already went through a front wing,,, towers dont show it..

What servo do you guys plan on using. I have a reedy 1508 to put in it but was thinking of the new low profile ones look nice.

What is the story with running shocks in front of rear tower or behind? I'm guessing with the lay down trans you can use what works best.

Cool Build

I am curious are racers building the B6d stock out of the box first and running it that way or are racers going straight to the laydown trans, laydown trans and long shock tower in the rear , and where are they mounting the rear shocks.

I was thinking go straight to the letdown trans , go long shock tower, and mount the shocks behind the rear arm to start? thoughts? comment? opinions?
