I have been running 3 white on both my B5m and B6D in 17.5. What difference would I see with 1 white and 2 red. I run at a small track, So you are on the breaks, then on the power a lot. Track has high grip.

Another questions...the Centric drive pads, are they useful or needed in 17.5.

I know, I could just run the lockout, but I just could not get used to the feel of no slipper on the car.

The red pads have a little more aggressive bite - try 'em if you got 'em.

wonder if you could just use the B6 setup as a base with the laydown tranny, appropriate springs and oils, but leave the rest as is? (flat arms, etc)

Anyone using the Associated FT Wrench set? AE #1519. I'm just getting back into the sport and apparently my imperial tools are no longer needed, so I need a good quality set. If anyone can say one way or another would be appreciated. I apologize if this has been gone over, but I couldn't get it to come up.

Invest in some MIP wrenches. Top notch and last forever.

Thanks for the info. I had not seen these before. My previous ones were a set of drill blanks in Fantom handles, similar to the old Bolink Torkers set. Being that the tip is not easily replaceable, I assume these last a really long time. It looks like I may need to find a new place to keep them in my box. The handle looks fairly large. I don't see any dimensions on them. Do you have an approximation of the size?

Who do you recommend for nut drivers?

Is it cheaper to just buy a B6D as oppose to buying a bunch of parts for a B6 to make it a B6D?

Everyone seems to be turning the B6D into a B6 anyways... last to go will be the ball diff, then we can all quit asking which side the screw is supposed to be on...

The MIP wrenches used to be the old Thorpe wrenches with translucent orange handles. MIP is going to start making nut drivers soon but I use ProTek metal handle nut drivers.

What's nice about these are you can loosen the set screw and slide the tip into the handle and shorten it. Did that on my 5.5mm.

This is good for wheel nuts

I like the feel of the handles....
I hate those typical RC tools, especially knurled aluminium handles. They hurt your hands after a while. Not only the knurled surface, but the ergonomics.

Apart from RC, I do have other hobbies that involve hand tools, fabrication of woods and metals, so MIP handles feel like real tools and feel good and secure in your hands

I'm not sure if they last forever (yet) as I've only had them for 2 years, but I've worn hex heads more than the wear (if any) on the tips.

I must admit, I've broken my 1/16" tip, maybe due to dropping it several times. But I quickly replaced it without any doubts.

I do hope they do come with nut drivers soon
