If a laydown tranny is better because of lower cg, woudn't it be better for dirt also?

Depending on the track but it will likely just break loose. High bite clay seems like it would do well on.

Everyone one is comparing cars at their tracks but saying nothing about the drivers. Everyone is of difference experience and as someone else mentioned people's practice and race experience differs.

Everyone here is super helpful and giving pointers when someone has an issue. I say find what works for your driving style at your track. If someone else is racing the same track then that setup would be a good starting point.

I don't think the B5M is going anywhere. AE is just going to continue to release versions and optional parts. If it works why replace it?

Yea Ill get right on that for you.

Laydown tranny is mainly better (on super high grip tracks) 'cause of the forward position of the motor ; the lcg, just limit the rolling effect .
On (real) dirt , we need the opposite, more traction, so more backward masses just like the b5m standard tranny (d216 is a good example to ).

Question, bought the fox shock bodes for my car. And realized I bought the wrong size rears. I bought the 12x27.5 rears. Will these actually work on the rear of my car?

You "could" use them, but it'd have less down travel and more up travel than the correct 12x31 bodies.

can i ask what the typical or ideal weight of a b5m lite or reg factory team buggy should weigh for 17.5 spec class? ( minus battery)
im only asking because my son drives a b5m lite with LRP Gear and im running Blackbox 410r and mach3 both 17.5, my factory team with 410/M3 is much heavier but still faster, which ever of us is driving either or. the esc def outweighs his LRP, i dont want to add a bunch of more aluminum to these cars and make them heavier if it hurts us in times.
appreciate any insight.

Huh that's strange. Their website shows a "gear diff supplement" manual for the CE so I assumed it came with both but I guess not.

I'm building my CE now and see now parts or instructions for a gear diff.
This is my first AE kit and I have to say that the quality is awesome and I'm really enjoying this kit. May end up on a shelf..lol

Weight might not be the problem. I've run a stock car anywhere from 165ish to 1510 and I personally couldn't tell if it had more rip or not. Gearing and timing on the end bell can make a huge difference, and every motor is slightly different and could need different things to get the best performance

Mine is being delivered tomorrow and I'm excited! My first kit and first R/C in about 10 years. Glad to hear it's a quality kit.
