I assume dad builds and son drives ,is so,and if so I did this for TWO of of my boys ,was at it for almost 10 years ,one liked the oval ,the last one stadium racing ,I had a BALL , by the way all were associated vehicles, the oval was my choice and did i modify that ,I'm 70 now still enjoying watching on this electronic way sitting here on my front porch
I've been thinking about getting this kit for the longest time now and was wondering if you would recommend this buggy. Thanks for the vid keep em coming and stay stay safe man ✌
Those who race it seem to really like it. Has good maintenance access to the rear Diff and other nice AE design. I don’t own it but race against them weekly, just as fast as the other new 2WD buggies.
I talked to Dustin Evens when this was first announced and he said the new one is pretty much the same as the old one unless you get the carpet version. What that means to me is if you have a 6.1d there's no point in buying a whole new buggy just for a few small upgrades. Most .2 parts are the same so it's not like .1s will lose parts support and even if it's slightly faster it probably wont matter unless you're at Dustin Even's level anyway. It also means you could probably find some killer deals on used B6.1s. I say buy it new if you don't have one and don't want to buy used or look for a good used .1
Yes, if you have a good B6.1D then yes, since you don't need to get a new chassis you can upgrade the necessary parts and it will cost you less. If you have a well used B6.1D and like building new kits even if the performance gain will be negligible for mere mortals, then do as I did and buy a new kit ! ;-)
so 3 yrs ago i bought a b6d and everything to build it except battery. i got busy w life and its been in the closet. i finally want to build it an get it running. Is it out of date now like a computer were id be wasting my time? Should I sell it and get a b6d.2? Thankyou for your time
Thankyou Netcruzer! Be a good project for my 10 yr old step son and I while were corrantined the next 2 wks cause his mom got the covid. He is excited to build this buggy
Could you answer a couple of questions. I am really considering this kit for just regular non racing off road bashing. I plan on running a Traxxas Vxl Motor / ESC and putting monster Truck tires on it. 1. Would a Traxxas Motor ESC work with this? 2. Would bigger tires work? Instead of buying a Traxxas Rustler, I would rather build a stadium truck with a good chassis and suspension out of the box. Let me know if this set up works?
Don't even bother with a 2WD buggy for bashing. Get the truck instead. And get a Hobbywing or Castle Creations brushless system - the Traxxas Velineon is overpriced for what you get and has a nasty tendency to overheat.
I am new to the 1/10 scale buggy scene so I bought a B6.1DL team kit on sale. I needed everything. The money I saved, I actually invested it into the esc and motor. I haven’t raced it yet because I am going to my local track and practicing. ( Track Time) Personally, a B6.2 isn’t going to make me any faster but maybe your situation is different. I hope this helps.
Spend all that money for that- why? My Traxxas Bandit is faster and will run circles around that and it just cost $149. If a part breaks every hobby shop has the parts
