Probably going to be called T6D or something wouldn't surprise me.

I kinda need it to replace my aging T4.2....lol
What does this have to do with the b6 or b6d?

I'm using this Team Durango 1.5mm HD Straight Wing, it's pretty damn tough. And being a rookie, it shall last you a while even with the rubber side up.

I used it when I had a Schumacher, their wings were really weak. And it has lasted me into the B6D. I haven't even cut out the stock wing yet.

The Losi wings are nice and come pre-cut.

Guys that have tried the rear sway bar: I was thinking about using it on super highbite clay tracks but ive noticed most pros dont use them even on such conditions for 2wd buggy. Why is that?

I ordered a set of Schelle Aluminum hubs and I'm thinking of getting some of the lightened bones as well. The question I have is should I get the 65 or 67 mm bones? Do I require anything additional besides what I already have stock on the buggy to make them work properly? I've seen a post where someone used a 6mm hub instead of the stock 5.

I have the Schelle hubs that were also used on the B5M and use the 65mm axles.

In order to use the 67mm bones, you have to also have either the BMI inserts or mill out the bearing recess in the hubs to push the bearings out 1-1.5mm. If you don't have/do either of those, you will need to use the standard 65mm bone length.

Schelle will have the modified axles available this month to accommodate the 67mm axles. No need to machine or get the BMI inserts.

Seeing the pics from the Factory Team drivers at the Reedy race, It looks like AE has something they're working on as well.

Found a set of JConcepts B5m titanium turnbuckles in my spare parts bin. I see that the lengths are different by 4mm, anyone using these on their B6d?

Thanks!

I'm using my Lunsfords from my 5m with zero issues.
