This is good info for sure, and quite relevant to my situation. Having last built and run a Blackfoot in the early '90s, I decided to get back into RC with a 17.5t racing buggy, and bought a NOS b6.1fl kit off ebay because it seemed like a good fit for the class and would save me some money over a current kit. My local track is an old school outdoor dirt track though, and I've come to the realization that the factory lite is designed for high-bite surfaces. I'm new to setting up rc cars, and there seems to be a paucity of low-grip setup info online specific to the b6.1fl. But fortunately, I did eventually come across Ray Munday's b6.1d outdoor layback setup, and it seems like that will be a good starting point for me. However, it's nice to know that if I need even more rear grip, I can reference your video for some ideas. Thanks for sharing what's worked for you. I really appreciate it!
I really hope they start releasing parts for us to run outdoors again. My Losi 5.0 has a stand up in it right now. I think my battery is a little to far forward, but it does ok with the standup. Really hope they start remembering that a lot of people still run 2wd buggy on outdoor oldschool type tracks.
Luckily there's decent support for the RB10 and ProSC10. Recently proper C and D blocks that use the 6 series pills were released by AE. Now if only they would release a rear motor stadium!
If you get the newer Hobbywing XR10 Pro Stock Speck ESC you can play with the Drive Frequency and it's a game changer. I run a B6.2 with the 4gear Standup, a higher drive frequency will help the car not break grip while accelerating.
It's been a while but if memory serves me correctly the 6.3 like the 6.2 came in two chassis lengths, short for the D and long for the carpet version. Don't quote me on that. I haven't driven or worked on a 2wd buggy for well over a year.
@@MrJz97ss last year was busy with University courses and flying RC. I just checked this year's schedule and I'm traveling during all the races I want to attend. Recently I've been running 16th scale indoors on carpet and Team Losi Mini JrX2 and T outdoors on my backyard track.

Thanks! I'll check it out.
This is a cool build. Is this for a really old school type track?
In my experience if the grip is low the only thing that works better for me is a rear motor B5
@@trevorfurlotte I see. I run a lay down pretty much everywhere.
Yes, Trevor races on old school loose dirt tracks (I race with him). Here are videos of our races th-cam.com/users/lawton70
Recommendations to purchase the 4 gear stand-up? Tried searching everywhere for the parts.
Unobtainium. Last 4 gear standup parts I got I found on a shop's website in Australia.
@@trevorfurlotte oh wow lol. Thanks for the update.
Great video!! What state are you racing in!
State? What's a state? I thought my accent would give my location away eh!
@@trevorfurlotte you sounded like you were maybe from New York lol
Is the 6.3 chassis still the short chassis like the 6, 6.1 and 6.2?

@@trevorfurlotte Did you get out of racing 2wd? You selling out?
