Team Associated B6D - Build Update 1 - Electronics Choice

[@JustinGreenRC]

I love that you are one of those people that actually knows what they are talking about

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks for the great comment....I always try and provide useful information. Thanks for watching!

[@JustinGreenRC]

Keep doing what you do. You are definitely helping me make a decision on what buggy to get!

[@Rowdy216]

Great video! I think this is the first video that really showcases how beautiful this car really is.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks Rowdy! Always good to see you in the comments! appreciate the great comments!

[@rickyaviles2231]

videos are great Rich thanks! just got my first B6D after watching thanks again

[@TheRCNetwork]

Nice! Probably the best 2wd buggy at the moment

[@SHAYEN-cd5qw]

Plenty of good information, I always enjoy watching your build series Rich thanks for sharing it.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks Shayen! Always glad to get info out there. Always appreciate the great comments!

[@bearwinky]

Great advice on electronics thanks much appreciated

[@garylazo2988]

I will be watching all of your videos thank you excellent information.

[@TheRCNetwork]

No problem! Thanks for watching!

[@ehunter2010ed]

Rich cool looking buggy looks just like a B5M with upgrades. Welcome back to 2Wd mayhem. Next time get a redbull☺

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yeah, 2wd is not my forte, but love this B6D!

[@chasingwaves11]

Hey Ritch ! , I was a little upset when Ae didn't give the Fox V2 shocks with the B6d .. I have them on my B5m with the Jc extra shock bling .. but them Fox v2 shocks are really nice! I would recommend putting them on the buggy . the car just felt more planted and handled better .

[@harrytaber1799]

Awesome video, great quality and always love your electronic choices

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks Harry! Appreciate the great comments!

[@Timmybill12345]

Can wait to pick one up for my self

[@TheRCNetwork]

It's a great buggy so far. Painting today!

[@calidude4211]

Nice build R. Love Reedy..

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks CD45!

[@AdamAus85]

So good to see more blue aluminum over the B5. Associated have made a very tempting case to spend some cash.

[@triathlonSDhsp]

Cool! I wonder if the B5m MIP Pucks will bolt right up? Same Diff as the "5" series cars I believe.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Not sure on that one....but I'm sure MIP is working on a b6 version if not....

[@UberYouTuber]

Hey man. Really enjoying your videos. After finishing on the podium a few times during the rookoe race nights with my short course truck, I finally decided to take the leap into Buggies. I just ordered pretty much the same exact set up as you have except that I went with the B6 instead of the B6D. My local track runs on an almost clay like sticky dirt surface and everyone runs slicks so I really hope I made the right decision. Also got the Blackbox 800z with the Mach 3 17.5 and same servo as yours. Wish me luck and keep up the good work! Subscribed!!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Nice! Happy RCing!

[@UberYouTuber]

Hi there. Checking back in with you since I really enjoy your videos. I have never rebuilt my shocks on the B6 and it is looooong overdue. Looking online however I could not find a rebuild kit for these shocks unless it is the same rebuild kit for another vehicle. Could you help me out with this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[@connor9299]

Ahhhh 15 minute long rc vids, relieving

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yeah, a bit long for me!

[@clubjetty]

Aloha Rich, from the Island of Kauai, Hawaii!! One of the most beautiful places in the world to live, unfortunately, there's not a lot of RC action going on here!! 😩 I am pretty much following your lead on everything to build my B6D!! I ordered my car and should have it in about a week, but I do have a few quick questions and would so much appreciate your help!! I understand the kit comes with tools to build it, but would you just recommend I get the tools that you were showing in this video? Would like to pick up two or three Reedy 5300 batteries, do you have a charger that you would recommend? I've already started building a nice full-size track on my property. The dirt here is what you would find on any typical RC rain forest track!!😀 (sorry I had to say that, but that's basically it ) lol 😀 It's soft with a loose top. It's almost cool feeling but not wet and sticky. What wheels and tires would you recommend for me? I'm probably speaking for a lot of people when I say thank you for all the great Videos and information!! The RCNetwork is top notch!! Rock on Rich!! Aloha!!

[@2cwik4u104]

nice reamer. lol. awesome to see a sneek peek of next weeks Tool Tuesday. your wifes right, looks expensive. lol.

[@TheRCNetwork]

I thought you would spy on that! lol

[@2cwik4u104]

couldn't miss it. lol.

[@BernPisarcikJr]

I'm an outdoor driver. Does this kit include a chassis protector? Do you think the ball cups will suffer from dirt getting in the driver hole? Great video and thank you. Bern from NJ

[@TheRCNetwork]

No chassis protector, but Schelle has super nice UpGradeRC chassis protectors out - I just picked one up

[@jammindesigns7135]

Lol!! Same here when I was building my diffs on my 22-4 2.0, I caught on fire when I couldn't find a piece! Absolutely just cussing then out like you said. Haha funny I'm not the only one

[@TheRCNetwork]

My problem is I was was wrenching at 1am! lol And the RockStar drink was depleted from my body! lol

[@Cooldibs]

Love the longer vids!👍

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks Cool......Trying to make them just as entertaining with additional footage, cutaways, a bit of music and such.

[@Rjjs31]

if you have parts to do so could you test fit and see want spring cups from other vehicles will work for the scte 2.0 because I would love some aluminum ones. I found some that are made for the tlr 22-4

[@TheRCNetwork]

Most of the aluminum one's I've seen are for 12mm shocks. The SCTE uses 15mm, I believe

[@markpatrickvillareal2328]

Awesome video. it really wants me to get back into the hobby again for 20+ years of break. the only RC I have 20 years ago was a Tamiya CC01 which my father gave it to me as a gift and then I was pretty much hooked up with 4x4 off-road cars/trucks or buggies. I've been always wanting to have a buggy way back, and because of a very tight budget and also I was just a high school student back then. so right now I'm planning to get back racing in the dirt. would you recommend this one for a beginner like me? by just watching this video, it just ignite my spark on it like love at first site for the kit. lols! thanks and more power!

[@Webcamboat]

Mark Patrick Villareal have to say I have one of these and they are nearly flawless , very durable and beginner friendly and I would recommend one

[@markpatrickvillareal2328]

nice!

[@lacucaracha111111]

O.o wow that was fast

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks L!

[@Rjjs31]

thx

[@ryansmith8782]

Awesome video. I was wondering if it was hard to get the kit servo horn on to your servo. When I tried to get the b5m 25 tooth kit horn on to my reedy servo it seemed too small. I was scared to smash it on there so i bought a tlr aluminum 25 tooth horn which snapped right on. How did this fit for you?

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yeah, it was tough - almost felt like the wrong size. I got it to where the teeth felt like they would engage and then dropped the horn screw in and started tightening down. It worked. I did order the FT aluminum version though.

[@weedsnager]

I'm halfway thru building mine, I have all the same components as you, what esc settings are you using ?

[@benjamineshington]

Can you make a top 5 RC motors,Servos and escs video

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yeah, possibly.....will put that on the idea list

[@benjamineshington]

Thanks

[@alanbadgery4840]

Hi. I'm building mine. Instructions, (bag 3 step 3) say the 2mm hat bush for the castor block should be at the bottom., and the 1mm at the top. You have them reversed ?

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yeah, I totally messed that step up

[@marshallgrimmett6290]

Did you use one of the servo horns included in the kit?

[@marshallgrimmett6290]

Never mind. It was the Futaba servo horn :)

[@abboodeno]

Thank you for the great video, do you recommend this kit for a beginner builder ?

[@TheRCNetwork]

Its def an easy build....but may be a bit complicated for a beginner, especially for a first car. If you've worked on other buggies in the past, you should be fine

[@francistiu9728]

have you tried putting a laydown transmition yet?

[@TheRCNetwork]

I bought it but never tried it...

[@rc4lifebnsf]

What is your gearing for 17.5

[@alexisangelax0]

great video what gearing did you use with that motor?

[@TheRCNetwork]

I used the stock version of the spur that came with it and a 31t robinson racing aluminum pinion

[@alexisangelax0]

thanks, appreciate the help my b6d should arrive tomorrow from tower hobbies, was not sure what electronics to put in car so thank you again for very informative video I will be ordering all your recommended elec parts, any radio and receiver you can recommend for this car?

[@TheRCNetwork]

Frank Arrietta depending on your price range, the Futaba 4PV is solid - just got released (I have a video on it). It has a $279 msrp and very comparable to the 4PX. Airtronics wise, check out the MT44

[@alexisangelax0]

did not wanna spend that much was thinking more around 100?is that doable?

[@craftymgaming5362]

Hey dude sorry if I'm super late, but a spectrum DX4C with a really great receiver goes for 100... I have one and I love it, get the one without the AVC receiver though, you don't want that.

[@Rjjs31]

the scte 2.0 has 12mm shocks. so will the b6d ones work

[@TheRCNetwork]

Not sure...I haven't had an SCTE for about 2 years. Take a look at the Avid RC aluminum Avert cups - I would try and find the same offset (height of the cup)

[@jwileyd]

What is the brand and part number of the 3 mm reamer you use? Thank you.

[@TheRCNetwork]

It's made by Team EDS, and the set I got will air on Tool Tuesday this coming Tuesday - here's a link for now (you'll need the 3.0mm, but the set includes 3.5 and 4.0 too). www.team-eds.com/Team-EDS-Arm-Reamer-Set-3-PCS-p/eds-160991.htm

[@victorfanaticotech4438]

Hello, I have a Pro Rally RTR and I could not configure the reverse, could you please help me? I have an XP2G and XP TRS403.GRACIAS. He has! How can I reset to the factory? or how can I enable the reverse?

[@feliciano1358]

looks like a competitive buggy.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yeah, can't beat it right now for a 2wd buggy

[@AdamAus85]

Man, I have the exact same motor esc combo in my 22 2.0.

[@timinmaninman4126]

Adddam how do you like 222.0

[@cosimusprime9379]

this video is exactly what i was looking for thx like and sub for u

[@TheRCNetwork]

Good deal, welcome to The RCNetwork Family!

[@cosimusprime9379]

thx

[@BARCstudio]

wow nice! just found your channel. how much is the B6D? looks so nice.

[@nick_z1232]

$309

[@BARCstudio]

RcRacer315 thanks man:-)

[@nick_z1232]

+BA_ RC studio no problem!

[@BARCstudio]

RcRacer315 :-)

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks BARCS! Great to have you here! I always drop links in the video description for pricing, as it sometimes changes

[@jackchase79]

More vlog episodes!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yeah, I'm working on firing that series back up. Been super busy with all these new releases! lol

[@edma7694]

What pinion are you using ?

[@TheRCNetwork]

31t Robinson Racing Aluminum Pinion

[@alexr9030]

wow , nice video , why do you torture us with so many RC Goodness Rich .. now I need to purchase another RC because of you .. I will definitely get one for the next indoor season. I'm really glad I waited this buggy is a nice update from the B5M .. By the Way Rich for your viewers , Multiply the torque (in kg/cm) by 13.88 and the result will be the equivalent in oz/in. . Since I began RC I always preferred to see the torque value in oz/in ... but I'm getting used to see more numbers in kg/cm so I have a rough idea what to look for now .. I am eager to see the finished videos and see you run it ..

[@TheRCNetwork]

Sorry! Yeah, RC is my main hobby right now along with KZbin and building a Network. Thanks for the conversion on KG to oz/in!

[@leinad3955]

Does this battery compartment only fit shorty packs, or could I use a Gens ace 6000 mAh 70C pack?

[@TheRCNetwork]

It's most versatile with a shorty pack - you can move the pack forward and back for weight bias. It does have the space for Saddles or a Block sized pack, but at this time, I don't believe there's a battery strap for it.

[@leinad3955]

All right, thanks! I'm a big fan of your vids, btw.

[@Sloppyjoe96]

just wandering, would it be stupid to think of a buggy for bashing? im bored of short course and stadium trucks and monster trucks are meh to me. im not saying this buggy but any other one?

[@fondfarewell2]

they are too light weight. use to bash my b4.2 around the street a little but off road it didn't work very well. if you do on road bashing it's fun to gear it up and haul add though. one of these new kits though I wouldn't recommend it cus they are just to pretty.

[@feliciano1358]

I have a buggy for bashin. I bought a arrma buggy for bashin. good parts support and very durable. A buggy Flys like nothing else that you have bashed. it's definitely different from the trucks.

[@fondfarewell2]

+FILTHY5150RC I assumed we were talking about 2wd race level buggys.

[@TheRCNetwork]

It would be hard to watch......being such a nice race quality buggy, but I'm sure you can.....it will be a bit light and need some durability items

[@Sloppyjoe96]

The RCNetwork i think it is a bit to expensive to be a basher anyway, do you know of any rc that looks as good, but more suited for bashing

[@diffman75]

I'm new to carbon fiber what's with the CA glue for it

[@connor9299]

So i doesn't wear to fast

[@TheRCNetwork]

CA glue helps seal the edges of the Carbon. If naked carbon gets hit, the ends start to fray and splinter...before you know it, the carbon starts to explode and weaken, especially if it gets hit again. CA flu just seals it up and hardens the edge

[@diffman75]

+The RCNetwork so you just put it on the edges?

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yeah, usually just the top edges

[@diffman75]

+The RCNetwork ok thanks. thanking about getting some for my team associated 8.2 buggy and my losi ten scte.

[@x_w4r_p1ggie_x70]

👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks!

[@carlochong8095]

Carpet racers: add 1/4oz weights to the front of the car8f it work for you guys..,

[@TheRCNetwork]

Good info, sir!

[@DaedalEVE]

3hrs is nothing. I’ve spent 16-18hrs straight putting together MG Gundam kits before.

[@039043]

Cut them tangs!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yep! More comments )#(_$# - that was your screen name with shift lock!

[@feliciano1358]

it was just stated " buggy" so that's what I suggested. But 2wd are just to fragile and don't really stand up to the bashing. The front end especially.

[@connor9299]

It's for racing

[@armandomorales7842]

my b5m has taken quite a beating and nothing ever broke on it, aside from the plastic bodies

[@jpesicka492]

Not meant for bashing. Like he said it's meant for indoor racing...

[@c.g.c2067]

Spending your life as a drug addict buying, buying and buying will leave you as an empty box

[@TheRCNetwork]

It's just a hobby, buddy.....no need to start bringing drugs into it....😉

[@c.g.c2067]

Just a consideration about our addiction to consumism... our grand dads used to live with nothing

[@anthonyacosta285]

I have to disagree with you on the electronics this time they can be beat and they have been beat trinity d4 is much faster than the Mach 3 it's not roar legal but none of use will ever race nationals

[@TheRCNetwork]

There's a lot of factors when it comes to which motor is faster - the only way to really know is to take a M3 solder it in and drive. Then take the D4 and solder it in the same vehicle, same battery, same driver everything. What I meant by "beat" was putting a Reedy in a Team Associated vehicle. You can't beat that.

[@TheStripcell]

It is the 3rd of July and you have not drove it yet? WT heck Rich. Ill beat the heck out of this kit on my $60 dollar home built 1/10th buggy track when I get it next week and I will tell enthusiasts straight up how it holds up to the B5m. Im no engineer but from what I can see in this vid that front end does not look to be as beefy as the b5m. kzbin.info/www/bejne/joqxqouVbpqmiLs I am no buggy snob but a im a common sense consumer and do not like all this hype.

[@TheRCNetwork]

I'm enjoying a long time-ago panned vacation with my family if that's okay.....remember, it's a toy car we are talking about! lol As for the beefy front end on the B5M, it appeared beefy mostly because it used more plastic as a top plate - The B6D has a wider aluminum chassis in the front and requires less of a top plate. Hype over..... my friend

[@TheStripcell]

No Vactions!!lol
