But as with anything like this, I will wait and hear about wear characteristics.

Hmm... I ran pucks for an entire season in 2 different cars(1 buggy and 1 truck, 17.5) and never even changed the pucks and had 2 sets of spare pucks even! Original pucks looked brand new even! I must be an odd case! Apparently everybody else had different luck!

replaced pucks every 6-8 race days, cleaned all the time, indoor clay. Ate up a second set of the out drives and went back to stock. Those little screws made it something I had to change on my sons car because I was afraid of him stripping them. Good performance but for some reason they would not last on our cars.

Does anyone know if the four D rear arm inserts are the same for the rear brass arm holder? All 4 have arrows on them.

Anybody notice the Worlds b5m running gullwing arms?
Thought they made the car more aggresive on corner entry..

Also noticed running axles high.. Makes me rethink my carpet setup.

Guys run them on are track (high traction). In the up position they help with off power steering and vise versa.
