Team Associated B6 & B6D thread

I've just opened a set and discovered that they only come with four of the hat-spacers, whereas the B6 kit uses 8 of these. The ASC91494 comes with another 4 round spacers. Rather than try these, I used the stock spacers in the front shocks. I'd suggest getting two packs if you want to use the ASC91494 unless someone can confirm they work without using 8 hat spacers.

What diff oil would you start with? The track is high traction and very bumpy. Everyone is running a schumacher kc with 10k to 12k oil. should i be running similar oil in my B6? 2 or 4 spider gears?

back up under power. Schumacher diffs react quite different to fluid weight
than an AE diff so its not really transferable.

I have tried stock 4K then 2 gears (too much rotation for me and less stable) then was advise to thicken the diff. Now 7k and will try 10k.
Seems more stable and consistent but we run mod on very bumpy astro with a low ride height.
I'm guessing the higher the oil the less diff out so the car is more stable at speed on bumpy section

Got mine all built and have not ran it yet but not real impressed with the battery hold down, I have tried 2 different batteries and adjusted the studs like they say and neither leave enough on top to engage the nylon in the lock nuts and it seems the stud does not screw into the chassis as much as I feel safe with, and I like the quick release no tools required to take battery in and out. Does anyone make a better system or have another idea on how to improve this? It really is the only area I seen in the build that to me at least is questionable and should have been done differently.

It felt a little more forgiving and consistent.

Thanks to everyone. Think ill start with 5k 2 gear and then try 7k 2gear as i see that the most common is 5k 2 gear. We have an small carpet indoor track where 10k is good for schumachers but seems too slow for my b6. I dont want to be rebuilding diffs everytime
