Well I just got done rebuilding the back end and trans on the buggy. Replaced the rear hubs with the 0* aluminum ones that you put the ball in vertical. I also put in the rear Schelle D mount with removable Pins so you don't have to take everything apart. I also put in 3-1 C inserts in along with B5 A arms.
I built a 4 gear lay down trans with cut gears, Avid ceramic bearings and Avid gear balls and thrust bearing. I already had the MIP pucks and axles. I still have to adjust wheel angles but I will do that last, after going through the front end and a re-wire.
The one problem I ran into with the lay down trans is that my Reedy 5200 battery doesn't fit, seems about an inch short. I have ordered a ProTek RC 2S "Supreme Power" Li-Poly 100C X-Lightweight, 2800 should be fine for a race right? I will probably order an Orion 100C Li-Poly Shorty Pack Battery at 4500mah to play around and get some more time from. I would like to hear what battry you are running, especially if you have the laydown trans.
Also there is a little front to back play on the rear inside A arms/hinge pin, about 0.4mm. Therefore I need some 3.5mmx.3mm spacers. Has anyone does this already? Ideally I would like about .1-.15 of play.
Also the S2 body doesn't fit perfectly. Looks like the top shaft is a little long so I will either need to trim that or poke a hole in the body for it.

What's really shocking about those pictures is all that money in carbon chassis, D4 motor, low profile tranny, pucks,slipper eliminator, all those aluminum pieces, and yet has nasty birdcage bullet connectors?
02-04-2016, 06:08 AM
I believe those are best used on medium bite clay tracks with no cracks. 
02-04-2016, 06:15 AM
The bird cage are fine. I use the reedy 5mm ones in my car, no issues and a better fit. solid connectors, at least in 5mm, can be very annoying. Never has issues with 5mm solid connectors, but the 5mm ones....they have sucked.
02-04-2016, 06:19 AM
Wasn't there a big uproar a year or two ago with cheap birdcages melitng down lipos since the are inconsistent with contact? I tossed out my birdcages long ago and went solid. Good quality solid connectors are way way better in holding contact from my experience.

Holy crap! I've hit the mother lode! I just signed up on this site and found this thread. All things B5M in one place! So cool. I've been all over "hyperspace" trying to get some schooling on my new buggy and it's all been here all along. Sheesh! Well, such is life. By the way, when did these things get so ugly? Cab forward? Yuck!

Anyone know if the schelle and avid slipper parts are interchangeable? I have the avid assembly and pads but want to use the schelle spur.
Thanks!

could anyone explain me the difference between 17.5 Tekin and RPM?
and the Tekin ESC between Gen2 RS and Gen 2 RS Spec?
there are combo order that come $50 difference.
i did considered Reedy 540-M3 17.5 motor which also come with "SS," too. but their ESC seem skyrocketing out of my budget.
any thoughts/feedbacks would be nice.
i plan to race it mostly in small-medium indoor clay track.

as ridgewaybodies said Integy makes a set or you can just search setup wheels on Amazon.
I am currently not running anything as I am on my second back surgery and right now I am just trying to keep myself busy while I am getting used to walking again. I have stated that in one of my first posts, so I am building this in the meantime.
Thank you all who have been very helpful! Some just rather look at photos as opposed to read which I have no issue with at all. Sometimes I would rather just look at photos but at least read before you reply.
