Anyone moved from XRAY XB2 to B6.1?
As per the title, just wanted to hear from anyone that’s made the switch and what they think before I buy a kit.
Thanks in advance 👍🏻 |

Trust me
The b6.1 is superb. The setup window is a lot bigger. The car is so forgiving. Superb bit kit |

Im returning after year off.
Went up local astro track to çatch up with mates. Got the chance to try a b6.1 that was on not ideal tyres. Just picked it back up and went round n round. Wow. So easy to drive. I have a b6.1d now.

Hi, If the diff is leaking, it possible that you are over filling it. When I'm replacing mine, I empty and clean the diff. Then (using a scale) I fill with 1 gram of oil. Diff is the same every-time with no leaking. MiCk B. :-)

I fill it just below the cross pins like I do with all my other cars. The oil came out before I had even run the car.
So I took the plate off of the diff and used engineers blue to see how flat the surface was and I found that it was not flat. Hard to do with the locators that are moulded into the plastic bit I used a very flat steel rule across the rest of the flat face. I had not tested the part prior to building the diff but have read that if you over tighten the screws on the diff then if will deform the plastic plate. As my plate is deformed and not perfectly flat then putting in less oil is not going to help if the seal is still no good. Anyway I have the aluminium one now and tested the flatness using the same engineers blue and everything is fine now.

Have you got links to the aluminium ones you mention AmiSMB?

Hi
The screws in the manual for the diff are either 6 or 8mm, the manual states to use 10mm. Ae have put the wrong screws it the kit. Use the right 10mm length screws and it won't leak.

It is shown on the AE website here as 91781 and was available at MB Models until I purchased the last one they had in stock. I am sure if you search for 91781 you may find other places that have it in stock.

This was only one small issue which I used engineering principals to find out why it was happening and then decided on getting the aluminium option part to solve the problem. The car was really good to drive and put a smile on my face and I felt it was much easier to drive than some of the other brands of 2wd that I have driven to date and that is what is important here.
