You should state that one needs to purchase the 8mm balls with spacers ($23 extra) or the 4mm balls ($16 extra) in order to use. That information is located on the product insert. These will not work with the standard ball mounts that come with the RC10B6.1D kit because the standard kit balls are too long. I would not have purchase knowing that. I'm sure the hubs are fine, but now I have to wait for the $16+ balls to find out. I'll still give it a "Good" rating because Team Associated makes great stuff. But please, update the product page. Thank you!
When I installed these on my B6.1D, I switched the 10mm ballstuds meant for the stock hubs with the 8mm ballstuds meant for the chassis on the rear. I used the blue battery thumbscrews as spacers (had spare hex nut to replace them). This way the suspension is set up nicely with no need for additional parts. Part works as intended and looks nice too. I do agree, they should've included extra hardware or at least noted that normal 10mm ballstuds wouldn't cut it.
Really nice upgrade for the b6 so you can run 67 mm bones
Awesome aluminum rear hubs that also work on the SC6.1. On the SC6.1 the rear camber links will have to be adjusted after you install them, due to the outer ball stud being mounted vertically vs the stock SC6.1 hubs which they are mounted horizontally.
All four reviewers rate the aluminum rear hub set 5/5. Reviewers agree the hubs are well made and fit the B6/B6D platform, allowing 67 mm bones. The recurring issue is compatibility: the hubs need 8mm ballstuds with spacers (or 4mm balls) rather than the standard 10mm ballstuds in the kit, and one reviewer says this was not clearly noted on the product page. One reviewer reports the hubs also fit the SC6.1, though camber links need adjustment because the outer ball stud mounts vertically rather than horizontally as on stock SC6.1 hubs.
