We can all carry on with b5m discussion.
I had already edited my post by the time you wrote this... Someone else made me think I had pissed someone off on here by starting the new thread and I reacted wrongly... After I re-read and gathered my thoughts I edited my post above accordingly

The hate internet gangsters, so thinking someone was trying to be one ticked me off... Apologies

Let us continue with the buggy love

No worries. No one was upset at all. In the past the thread would get started by someone and then forgot about...sometimes the mods were able to transfer the first post (as is with this thread) to another user. Not saying that you wouldn't have done a wonderful job but RCBuddha has shown that he can and has done a great job with it. Now back to the B5m

Maybe we should change it to the B5 For Sale thread.

Ive Been running a B5m And recently my local indoor track switched from dirt to carpet. I finally gave in, dedicated my current B5m for dirt and bought a brand new B5m for carpet. I bought all hard or aluminum parts, gull wing arms and wide tower, lowered wing mounts and laydown tranny and gear diff for the new one. Im not even finished with the build and now this!!!

Same here. I wonder if the B6 front and rear hubs will fit a B5? If they will, I'll just add them to my current laydown car and pick up a B6D for clay.

You guys, its not that bad. There are a lot of big races coming up here in SOCAL, and I'm sure elsewhere, so you're either going to sell your car(s) and not race or race until the new car arrives and good setups are available. Everybody is California Dreaming if they think the release will be on time. I can't remember 1 release in the last 3-4 years from any company that was on time. I'd imagine that you can still get 3 months of racing from your cars.

The new B6 Jconcepts rear wing mount explains why the B5M mount was on back order for the last 3 months.

How could he not know, if the B6 body is JConcepts.

The JC B5m mount is in stock now and has been for at least a few weeks.

It does however explain why JC has put development of their front hubs and shock towers "on hold."

I was asking about the honeycomb chassis.

They were testing some new tires and they were hooked up!

So back the dinosaur of a B5M. I am some what of an airhead with 10th scale car set up. Of course I have a common understanding for what ride height, springs, camber and other basic things do, but when it comes to all the small stuff that starts to click off tenths I am very uneducated on. I am one of the few people who run the B5 here and I was wondering if you guys could give me some pointers on where to go with setup. The car feels very good jumping and entering corners, but on the exit it is like the car either wants to spin or push. Also when I land it is not as planted as I would like. Any help will be much appreciated, and any other pointers would be helpful!
