Going to build my lite car today.
Are most cutting the plastic piece out behind the servo, then it's wide open instead of enclosed?

weight your esc too. That's gotta be some weight. I was going to put in the reedy blackbox 410R, but weighed it first. Took my tekin gen2 rs out of another car and it weight 60 grams, when the blackbox was close to 120grams. I'd imagine your orion being on the heavier side too.

I should have received my factory lite kit today, but thanks to the morons at the post office that didn't happen. It departed the sort facility last night and it took them 18 hours to make the 3.5 hour drive to the one in my state. It still says today is the delivery date, but the mail comes at around 10am. It was shipped 2 day priority, but then says delivery times are not guaranteed, then what am I paying for!

On both my kits (b5m, t5m) I cut out the plastic horizontal piece behind the servo, and behind the electronics corral. Doesn't seem to do anything more than free up room for wires and electronics placement, especially if you run a shorty pack all the way in the back, and want to run your ESC right up against it.

Got my light yesterday and it's now a roller. I just installed the shocks. I have a callas on my inside middle finger from all the wrenching.

Anyone want to trade B5 aluminum arm mounts for B5M arm mounts? Accidentally ordered the wrong ones. Brand new just opened to install and noticed I bought the wrong ones. Let me know.

Okay....put in a good practice session today, ran 5 packs through the car. I'm putting down the same lap times as I am in my KF2 but I'm WAY more consistent with this car. It accelerates, jumps and corners like a dream. I also noticed that it is a very forgiving car..bobbles that would land my KF2 on it's lid I was able to throttle out of pretty consistently. I feel like it's easier to drive this car as fast at the KF2...with the KF I feel like I'm driving on the edge...this car just feels extremely smooth and planted.
Here's the setup I'm running...only difference is the springs I have the kit white springs in.

I just picked up a gear diff tonight I'm about to build and drop in...that should be good for a few tenths on the carpet.
Running a VTS2 Pro 17.5 33/69 with the mechanical timing 2 lines from maxed coming off the track at 130-145 degrees

Got my light yesterday and it's almost a roller. I just need to build the shocks.
I must say that it has been a pleasure to build, and the ball cups seem to be just fine the way they are.
So what ever issue they had before seems to be a thing of the past...how tight is your cup?

I meant to mention the videos by CompRCC.com on you tube...they are fantastic! Just walked me right through the build process with ease. Check it out.
This is where I'm at now:

I know it's not directly a B5M question but did anyone here pick up a T5M and have the same ballstud/ballcup issue as they did with the B5M? My truck suspension just stick bad and I had to get the pliers out to loosen it up.
