Is it just me or are tracks just going to start catering to the buggies available or are they building to what the tracks want. Basically the new b6.1d is an updated version of the b6! No real options anymore for a buggy that works with lower traction.
That being said looks like my b6 will be looking for a new home after i see a few guys test it out first. It looks like AE made all the right moves.
D1360 - do you plan on updating your first post with all the new pictures/information that AE has released. Would be nice to keep that consistent with what RCBudda has done on the other team associated threads

I have no doubt this will be a must have car for carpet. But what about people who race clay, who have a nicely built b6?
- Machine pistons, already have.
- Bearing improvement, already upgraded.
- Nice slipper setup, run slipper eliminator
- Spacing options for transmission, b6 already runs at a good level for clay.
- Rear Arm incerts, cool, but can already adjust current arms just fine.
Something I am missing? New Car going to be faster than my current b6?
- Machine pistons, already have.
- Bearing improvement, already upgraded.
- Nice slipper setup, run slipper eliminator

I like what they have done with it! All looks to be improvements and not changes for the simple fact of changing it! Also, how can you compare it to a 22 4.0??? If anything I think that there copying AE more than AE is copying them and a step behind in the evolutionary scheme of things. They may have had the upper hand for a little while with the 4.0 but even that is debatable depending on who you ask. Any way you look at it, the 6.1 definitely ups or evens things out at the very worst in the current war with TLR!

The wire diameter, spring diameter, spring length, and coil spacing will dictate the characteristics of the spring. Because of this, it is possible for two springs to have the same (or very close to the same) theoretical rate, yet feel different on track. I wonder if the V2 springs are just because AE had to change vendors for their springs?
