Chassis Focus – Spencer Rivkin

Chassis: Associated B6D
Motor: Reedy Sonic 7.5T
ESC: Reedy Blackbox 510R
Batteries: Reedy Zappers 5400mAh
Tires: JConcepts Octagon
Radio/Servo: Sanwa/Reedy
Body: JConcepts S2
Remarks – Reigning World Champion Spencer Rivkin is using the Associated B6D fitted with a ball diff and using his base indoor setup. Also running the all new Reedy Blackbox 510R speed control, he has been playing with the power delivery settings to give it a smoother power curve due to the track size. Working on tires and tire prep, he has switched between Spacebars and the all new Octagon from JConcepts and with no dust on the groove will continue to use the latter. Using a number of other JC options such as the 3d printed gear guard, turnbuckles as well as front and rear wings, Spencer has also switched out the lower shock screws and instead uses a 1/8th scale shock pin to make it easier to detach and reattach the shocks to the a-arm.
