Seller called it a dusty B6 RTR :) it showed up as a Castle-powered B6.1D missile-just ran it!

Stoked, I just picked this up from the same seller I got my Schumacher CAT K1 Aero from. He had it listed as a dusty “I think it’s a B6” RTR, but once it showed up and I cleaned the shelf dust off, it turned out to be a Team Associated RC10B6.1D with a full Castle sensored brushless setup, fan-cooled Castle ESC, Spektrum steering servo, Zeee 2S hardcase pack, Leadfinger body, orange dishes, and just enough GoolRC radio gear to make it turnkey.

The pan is basically flawless, the underside of the arms are clean, slipper works, drivetrain feels tight, and the whole buggy has that dense, planted, proper race-kit feel in the hand. It is wicked fast on 2S and sounds nasty in the best way. Seller undersold this one hard, not a clapped-out dusty RTR, but a barely-used B6.1D missile hiding under shelf dust. :D

It's a ton of power, probably going to remove the castle setup and put in something more managable but it's fun :D
Sweet ride. I have an older sidewinder 3800 in an extended stampede. 3s at 50 or so and it still tried to flip over.

I have a K1 Aero with the same castle motor/esc and it's way more tame as I expected, 2wd with this setup is just too much but it's really fun on a big low grass field with some dips :D Your setup sounds really good I may save find a roller like that and move this over.
 
Wow! Nice find! The Leadfinger body makes me like this car so much more than stock.
It really was a lucky find, 200 bucks as is, the seller is a great guy just didn't know how to list his items well. And I have another leadfinger body I'm installing on the L1, they are great modern looking non-cab forward designs, which is what we like lol

Wow! Deal of the month right there!!!
 
Thanks Mike, also got the K1 from him and the andy's gold and blue bstamp, and old pilot too :)
I'm sure the seller doesn't mind the repeat business either! They have/had some really nice buggies. Its good that the cars found their way to someone (like you) who knows what they are... Not just old buggies to bash on at the skatepark!
 
The leadfingers are really great compared to the cab forwards, I had a B5M that had the same body and it's just not as cool, very nice paint work on yours :)
I bought mine used on eBay and that's the body it came with. I had to buy a servo, receiver, esc, motor, pinion gear, wheels, and tires to finish it off.

You really scored well.

That's where I found this one :) The seller was an old cool gun guy (I have guns too so found him that way listing his rc collection). Have you ran yours? Thank you kindly I ended up buying three of his rigs for way under what they should have been priced for.

I'm an old gun guy too, I don't know if I'm cool though.

I ran mine a couple of times, though all of that time was on the sidewalk in front of my house and the asphalt driveway next door. Maybe I'm wrong, but I didn't think it could handle the grass in my backyard so I didn't try that.

I installed a Cayote Crest 17.5T motor with a 31T pinion gear, and Cayote Crest RS60 speed controller. Maybe I should swap in the 24T pinion gear I have.

The asphalt driveway next door is almost one hundred feet long and at least twenty feet wide, it leads to a pair of town houses behind my neighbor to the north's house.

I need a longer place to run, that driveway isn't long enough to get the car up to speed. I also need a GPS to see just how fast the car is, it's easily the fastest RC car I've ever owned.

So am I 52, I also need a GPS and that's a good spot to run :)
