What's New: RC10B6.2D & B6.2 1/10 2WD Buggy Kits from Team Associated

[@edwinwx260]

Got mine together saturday and I am extremely happy bc it's a huge upgrade from my old b6 with a tweaked chassis and more slop than a hog pen on auction day. Still have yet to get it to the track but felt real nice on the living room floor. The suspension just feels really soft for a carpet car but we will see.

[@sonhuynh8222]

i dont know anymore how much for kit only. (No electronics)

[@stəamroller]

My B6.2D arrived today. Super excited! Looks great!

[@johnband3]

Thanks for sharing. I want both!

[@drjavogel]

I love my B5M. These new models are sweet. Great info as always Brett. Excellent videos as always from AMain -- my go-to store. Thanks Brett. Box bongos. Nice.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

There you go! Those B5M's are really great cars. Happy to hear you're still running it John. -Brett

[@GrumpyOldManRC]

Good unboxing Brett! You looked like a kid in a candy store for a bit there.😎😁👌

[@JesseBMotors]

They both look fun 👍

[@sylvainster30]

Looks good but i don’t have access to tracks 🤷🏻‍♂️ not great for backyard i guess? Would look good on my shelf 😂 👋😎👍🏼

[@semaglig]

This was awesome, just the info I was looking for.

[@LordDirus007]

If any reading could you answer a couple of questions. I am really considering this kit for just regular non racing off road bashing. On grass, fields, through sticks basically running it at the park. 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. Without having to upgrade everything to aluminum. Let me know if this set up would

[@AMain_Hobbies]

1. Yes; the VXL-3s is a great brushless, 3S LiPo-ready system. 2. Yes. But when you change the tire diameter, you also effect the roll out of the gearing, so you will have to check your motor/esc temps, and adjust gearing accordingly to avoid motor/esc burnout. -Brett

[@joevasquez1776]

Time to buy a cheap b6.1 factory lite for super cheap on amain!!! Great opportunity for beginners like me to get in cheap.

[@cmgoblin9874]

Which car would you recommend for a hard clay track?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

It all depends on the level of traction. If you can pop wheelies, go with the B6.2; if there is more tire spin, get the B6.2D. -Brett

[@cmgoblin9874]

AMain Hobbies awesome, thanks man. Will most likely look into the b6.2. I’m driving at OCRC raceway.

[@worldexplored5300]

Love the associated, use to race them but tired of the blue anodized stuff...so.. Bought Schumacher instead 😉 why can't AE just use black parts...? Would change a lot in sales I'm sure... Maybe Amain can make a 'black conversion kit' 😉

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Most of those blue parts are also available in black optionally from other companies. -Brett

What's up Brett !! It's Roger from NorCal. Let's race on-road electric at Sheldons :)

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Hey Roger. They still racing out there? -Brett

[@rogerserafin]

@@AMain_Hobbies : Ah man. They closed a while back. Closest racing for off and on road is Eric Vasutin's shop ( NorCal Hobbies ). Good to see you in the videos !!

[@whitepuddinn]

Was just at the AMain track yesterday! The weather has done some damage to it ! Can’t wait to get back out and any news of a track rebuild ?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Not sure about a rebuild, but the track guys probably have one planned. They are racing this Saturday outdoors at Silver Dollar while the weather is good; they are not racing indoors at the Boys & Girls Club this weekend. -Brett

[@whitepuddinn]

AMain Hobbies where’s the boys and girls club? Never been there. Is there an 1/8 scale track ? Been looking for some indoor tracks in the area of Chico.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

No on the 1/8 scale. It's been 1/10 buggy and TC mainly, inside their gymnasium. The carpet track is setup, raced on and torn down in one day. It's been a lot of fun racing inside and it's super nice they let us use that space on Saturday's. You should follow AMain RC Tracks on FB for more info and updates. facebook.com/amainrctracks/ -Brett

[@whitepuddinn]

AMain Hobbies awesome ! Thanks for the info Brett!

[@jamiewicks2765]

so having compared Both Manuals of the B6.2 its the same car as the B6.1 apart from rear wish bones and outdrives? and rear hub and a front wing mount its the same car oh and 3mm chassis and a different shell

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Yeah, there are many options parts to make up the B6.2, with the exception of the new body, chassis and side guards, but I believe the other items were previously available hop-ups. You could buy those parts easy enough to upgrade the B6.1, with the exception of the expensive chassis. -Brett

[@REXXDG134]

Well yeah, it's still a b6. Wonder if they'll ever roll out a b7...

[@paulrobinson9355]

For racing on dirt how does the D compare to the TLR 5.0 22 Elite?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

I'm not sure, they look pretty comparable but we haven't had a chance to give the newest 22 an honest go at it. The 22 DC is a good looking dirt car though. -Brett

[@hadynmcloughlin4661]

Being new to the hobby and want to race is there a kit one step down that you would recommend? thanks in advance

[@massid3774]

the rb10 is fairly godo and you dont have to build it

[@magykjames9534]

I have a 4.2 and I like the body shell a lot better. What's the top speed on these? I think mine gets up to 40mph.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

In our B6.2 Build Series we did a speed test with a 17.5T motor and it reached 32MPH. Here is that build series if you want to check it out: kzbin.info/aero/PLNPmj_TC-HIR3D8omDtRoXVB8GA-xfEnx -Brett

Should I get a trx4 or trx6x6 Traxxas

[@stevesorrentino8271]

Hey Brett great video. We club race on a asphalt oval. In your opinion which car would you prefer. Keep up the great work.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Hey Steve. It just depends on how much traction the track provides. The gear diff and longer chassis on the B6.2 will be great if you have the traction. Otherwise, the B6.2D would be better at finding grip and accelerating on lower grip levels. I'd imagine the asphalt would be grippy enough for the B6.2, but not 100% sure. -Brett

[@stevesorrentino8271]

@@AMain_Hobbies Thanks for the quick response. The asphalt is not that grippy but I like having the gear diff and front and rear sway bars. Its a tough call because as you know a non prepped asphalt surface can get slippery with all the dirt blowing around outside. Keep up the great videos I really enjoy them.

[@stevesorrentino8271]

@@AMain_Hobbies Forgot to mention, I'm currently running a B5M and I would like to upgrade to get a little better performance.

Non of those new buggys has slipper clutch?

They both have slipper clutches. -Brett

What's the best 1/8th electric 4wd and nitro same scale and 4wd buggies on your website for RTR as a beginner racer?? Ive had nitro before just have to raced in 15yrs can't decide between electric and nitro lol

what is the average speed of smell? you said ask you anything ,

[@kbissever6974]

Why dont you build them and try on your track?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Barış, that's a great idea. We're going to build a B6.2 up and test it at our track, but it will take us some time. Great suggestion! -Brett

Will this car fit a full size servo

[@AMain_Hobbies]

A standard sized servo or low-profile. -Brett

[@h.w.m.306]

Should I get one? And 2ould it be good for the desert?

[@8ballrc452]

These are special designed for clay/dirt racing and carpet racing. That being said I would not recommend this kit For That. Sure you could but you would be much better off getting a purpose built basher RTR for the same price. If you want to get into competitive racing then yes I would recommend it.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Like 8BallRC said, we wouldn't recommend this kit for general fun driving/bashing. Don't get me wrong, you could do it, but there are other R/C options that would be better suited for driving in the desert. This Arrma Big Rock would be a good truck option: www.amainhobbies.com/arrma-big-rock-crew-cab-4x4-3s-blx-1-10-rtr-brushless-monster-truck-blue-ara102723/p983666 And this Arrma Typhon is a great buggy option: www.amainhobbies.com/arrma-typhon-3s-blx-brushless-rtr-1-8-4wd-buggy-red-ara102722/p983665 -Brett

Where can I still buy Team Assi rc rally car made by them?

Maybe from Team Associated, but it is discontinued. Sorry about that. -Brett

I have two 6.1s in the wrapping still do I sell and get the 6.2s?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

If you're collecting them, then yes! You need one of each. And I will buy the original RC10 still wrapped :) -Brett

[@brendanphipps4293]

For roughly $80 you can buy the necessary parts to upgrade your 6.1d to the 6.2D! Just saying.

WHEELS WOULD BE HELPFUL

[@morefurless]

Is this buggy good for bashing?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Not really, it's too expensive to bash around. There are better, less expensive options for bashing. This buggy is suited for competition racing. -Brett

Sweet im gonna buy one put i erc or bbe chassis on it amd make it a sprint car cause ae wont get there shit together and make a sprint car kit. Maybe there scared of custom works haha

' how come AE american RC10 company dont want to makeing their own RC10 cars... why need depend on asia

[@skagerstrom]

Making it in USA would probably mean paying more for worse quality.

where is motor ?

How long do they take to build roughly

[@AMain_Hobbies]

This 1/10 scale buggy kit probably takes around 4-6 hours to build the chassis. All the wiring, body painting and finishing touches will require more time. -Brett

Nice upgrades for for the B6, still made in china though.😒😒😒😒😒😒

The original B6 was made in China, both the B6.1 and the B6.2 actually switched production to Taiwan with noticeably higher quality plastics.
