Well moved the camber link back out (although not quite as far) and was good but still not much front and grip under power. Removed the 2x1mm washers under the front inner camber links and quite a bit of steering. Goes against all I've read but now you've explained what's happening I understand a little more.
Thanks, really appreciated.

If all goes well, today or during the week will test a couple outside the box tricks.
*edit* Yep, too stiff front spring and too low RC height. One could also try increasing shims bellow the front hub.

look in "setup guide" for info on camber links/link length and what does what.
I have other links on the first page that make for a good reading.

schelle updated the hubs to use with the kit inserts. I was thinking AE would update theirs too eventually.

Thanks for posting that!
I'll have a link on the front page once schelle update's their site.

Anybody actually racing outdoors with the B6D? The car is awesome but the shock towers are not well suited for dirt. We've already broken a front and rear which is something that never happened once on the B5M. I hope they make plastic versions soon. So far that's my only gripe.
I think if the indoor clay tracks were big like an outdoor track and had some big air jumps you would see broken shock towers same there in a frustrating way. I just don't think the speed is there indoors for the most part.
Where you breaking them? I seen a picture before across the hole of the shock mount point on the ends.

Didn't yesterday though; ran at Ricochet raceway and LOVED it.
Outdoors the car is super stable. I haven't broke a tower, but then again, I don't make a habit of crashing

So I just got done racing on a low/med bite track with my b6 laydown. I was the only one to even have a laydown car in the facility. I was very close on fastest lap times. I went to this race thinking my car was going to be undrivable and it completely exceeded my expectations. This laydown car can be successful on a low bite surface with the correct setup.
