[@DirtConcept]

Ray Munday’s setups are fantastic on outdoor tracks! I ran one last year and it was super balanced in terms of overall handling, grip, and jumping.

[@RyanHarrisRC]

Awesome! You race alot of outdoor I take it?

[@5cmpersec]

Changing the stiffness of the arms changes the fundamental frequency of the arm. This changes the speed at which a force can propagate through a part. This means softer arm gives a smoother loading curve on the tire which usually make you feel the car gained traction. But in reality it just added compliance and won’t force tire into dynamic friction as often. It will also reduce response but adds compliance to directions that the suspension movement can’t respond to.

[@davidharding7270]

I'm running about the same setup, differences being: gullwing up front, white springs all corners. This video gets it right for outdoor low traction! Thanks for the setup info

[@LosihoTTT]

@Ryan Harris Try it without the brass C in the rear. We have been running all alloy at the rear on Ray's & Andrew Selaggi's recommendation, it's actually better & has more rear grip. Too much weight at the rear can give it a pendulum feeling and make the rear end want to step out at corner exit. We all used it at the recent Keilor Invitational.

[@shanebowman6732]

How dialed can I be running an old RC10T3? I knocked the dust off it and put new electronics in it to make it go fast. (17.5T stock) I'm hoping to turn heads at the track with a vintage roller. It was your cleaning video and your tire removal with acetone that got me motivated to run again. Maybe if I turn wheel well enough I will drop that cash on a new roller.

[@DClavalois]

I still run the B6D on both the high bite clay and loose dirt tracks. Car is very versatile. Love your video's, keep us in the loop with your SuperCup series. DC.

[@tonysweet9137]

I am just getting back into the hobby after many years. After all the research I could do, I went with Hobby Wing for my electronics. I am using the pro version of the esc you have. I kinda wish I would have stepped down one size and got the one you have. I also went with the 10.5 motor. I hope I do not regret this. I am building the B6.1 Lite. Setting it up for outdoor and indoor clay tracks. I am building a couple different gearboxes to change out for these different tracks. I really like your video's and have now watched most of them.

[@youraveragecoop5633]

Just a newbie here; love how squared away all of your cars are. Not just cleanliness. i know it means a competitive advantage as well.

[@RyanHarrisRC]

Thanks man! I try to keep them looking clean and simple ,👍

[@catatonicbug7522]

I had to Google the concept of a transponder! We never used those in my JRX2 racing days! It was someone's job to watch and record laps for each car. As it passed the starting line. That's why we had big white number stickers on the top and side of each car.

[@amcmurtrie5425]

Great Video. I myself run a TLR 22 4.0 and now im excited to try it when i found out my shock oils are the same as yours. I actually got it used from a friend for $100. currently my setup for tire is Holeshots/3ds in the rear and slidejobs(dirt oval tires) in the front

[@bgymr9722]

BK servos come from helis, which I have done for a while now. The company is owned by one of the better pilots over the years. I think they are a pretty good choice for cars. In helis they have a cult following but there is also a subset that refuses to use them. Thanks for the vid. Bummer about the monster max motor. ROAR sure keeps us buying more.

[@MRWHG17]

Ryan, Forgive me if I’m missing this, but I cannot seem to find the link for the carbon tall rear shock tower. Please help lol

[@mattharrison1587]

Ryan, thanks for posting about this outdoor setup from Ray. As soon as it dries out here in Socal, I get to try this setup on our outdoor track.

[@RyanHarrisRC]

Do it! It's some good old fashioned fun in my opinion 😉

[@zuestoots5176]

i gotta get back in R/C. Tunning and tweaking was my favorite part. Nitro or Bust. Had a bunch of Traxxas and some HPI back in the day. My very first hobby level Nitro car was the Duratrax Maximum ST. My Favorite with my Savage X that was re powered with something from Ofna, that thing had all the goodies and was an absolute track warrior when i was done

[@performancedanny]

Buggy looks good man!!! Just put my rear shocks on upside down on my Astro setup and it's working great.

[@edwinwx260]

Hmm, never thought about that 🤔

[@performancedanny]

lowers the center of gravity feel I can drive the car harder

[@rcbuggies57]

@@performancedanny Wouldn't that make the arm action feel more sluggish due to the extra weight on the lower arm?

[@performancedanny]

yes. about the same difference as going to aluminum hubs but everywhere there's a gain there's a loss the lower CG believe helps the most. honestly the car feels about the same with the shocks upside down or on the factory way just when I push the car harder feels better upside down for me Plus get a little better lap times

[@Jordan-qm9kh]

Love your videos Ryan! I race with Ray at our home track in melbourne on a weekly basis. We have done lots of testing with the Standup transmission and it looks like it is working great for you aswell. Keep up the great work with your videos, they are awesome!😎🤘

[@samildinach99]

Ray would often run black rear springs (V1) and heavier front oils, I found that with 17.5 I could go down one notch from his oil setups (hes entering harder in mod). Ray experimented with drilling another inner hole on rear arms in b6 to give more leverage in low bite. Not sure if the b6.1 has this modification as standard now. Been out of racing for a year.

[@michaelcasella4774]

I’m building a Ryan Harris replica to race. I’m glad I waited on servo and motor I’ll be picking up these next week!

[@RyanHarrisRC]

Nice! Post it up on Instagram and tag me!

[@MrJz97ss]

Rear setup would be nice. Would be nice if they did it like the 2.0 was.

[@tuffytoys9707]

Nice Video. As always Like the Fish tank in the back. Also can you do a video for the 8th scale buggy for a similar off road track. Thanks

[@RyanHarrisRC]

I will try to get one of those done soon!

[@patrickrebmann]

Your car look absolutely flawless. What's the manufacturer of those titanium screws & turnbuckles? Any chance you can get them for Yokomo's YZ2 as well? How do you get this transponder to be in white?

[@BrainOfRott]

I know your an associated guy, but what are your suggestions for a Losi 22 2.0. I have the front end cockpit body and the rear motor standup transmission. My electrics don’t fit inside the body and I’m trying to hold more weight in the rear then the front, but I’m forced to move all of the weight to the front because of the size of the body. I’m really frustrated because I’m in the process of getting both my original Rc 10 and my Losi 22 into racing classes and both of them have the same problems. I don’t have much money to split between the two but do you have any ideas for a shorty pack setup like yours? Thanks for your opinion.

Ryan were you 'DIALED' then?! lol One day if you can make it to East Orange RC in Bithlo that would be great! This setup would be a perfect match to try it out at this track.

[@RenBobbins]

Have you experimented with rear shocks behind the arm vs in front? I now running them up front gives the car more rotation, but, I have always been curious as to how they compare in a loose, outdoor situation.

[@Jamie.W]

Is rear motor still a thing.lol #stilloldschoolracer

[@RyanHarrisRC]

Always in our hearts ❤️

[@rcbuggies57]

IMO mid motor outdoor is really fun, it forces you to drive on the edge of spinning out at every moment, and it's so satisfying to finally get it dialed in and you can even hear the tires scratching as you make the sweeping turns instead of parking and pulling out of turns like you would on a rear motor.

[@wildcardjoker]

New to rc electric buggy I just purchased a b64d and wondering how race classes are set from watching video I think there’s a stock class which is basically stock everyone run same thing and then mod and here’s where I’m not sure I think the lower the motor number like 8.5 is faster then say a 12.5 do they set ur buggy in a class like 12.5 or 17.5 if that’s ur motor size. Loving watching your videos thank in advance for any info

[@marccanellas8749]

Great video 👍 really helps for me thanks

[@The29Brad]

So would the B6D be the better choice? I have a race in two weeks on loose hard packed clay indoors. Seems like the traction is in between grooves always. I had the B6.1 Lite on the track last week with the lay down and slipper elimination and it was miserable. Was thinking layback and a slipper but didn’t think to go all the way to the standup and flat arms. Might seriously consider running the old car???

[@Drunken_Hamster]

The worst thing they did was get rid of the 4-gear trans. I think they should bring it back, including on the laydown, and just drop the layback altogether. Standup and Laydown, both with 3 and 4-gear options. Even better if it's all in the same case and you literally just add/move the idlers around to change it.

[@ceh329]

Also, do the longer shock bodies require a longer shock shaft?

[@badcentury03]

I have to admit, watching your videos as well as some of the other top content creators, has really got me thinking about returning to the hobby... especially since I now work about 10 minutes from Mills Pond (Gee, I wonder if ROAR will renew a 20-year-old membership number? 😂) With the introduction of the B6.1 versus 6.1D, I am totally confused. It was confusing enough seeing Associated’s detail sheet on the parts required for each version of the transmission setup (which depends on the version of the kit you purchase), but do you already have a video detailing the differences between each version of the kit? If not, I would really appreciate it as a topic suggestion if you could cover the subject. Great job on your content, and I’m looking forward to seeing more!

When using the longer shock bodies, do you use the same shafts or do you need to get longer ones as well?

Same shafts. The longer bodies allow more fluid volume, and also let you wind out the rod ends further for a longer effective shaft that doesn't bottom out inside the shock body. Hope that makes sense :)
