I am now building my b5m lite. It's my first buggy i've had. I bought all the aluminum hop ups before hand. I have questions on the c and d arm mount inserts.
What are the numbers on the c inserts? They are things like 3+0, 3+2, 2.0+3L, etc. What do the different numbers mean? What effect does it have on the car. The d inserts only have arrows. I believe the numbers are anti squat?
What would be reccommended to start out? I'm running stock at a indoor high bite clay track.
Thanks

Alright will do. Thanks for the advice. Just curious, what does the "+4" refer too?

My b5m lite rear arms seem to be a tight fit on the hinge pins. Just enough to where the arms don't drop down freely w/o a shock mounted. Should i drill them out a little bit more?

I get confused which is which but AE makes a C mount that is 4mm wider. You need to buy narrower wheel hexes to use it. The idea is that the cars are supposed to be more stable when the arms are moved further out so your making the suspension wider but not affecting the cars width.....did I explain that right?

no, do not drill, rather, lubricate with something silicone or teflon based. WD40.....shock oil....almost anything will work. Please put the drill down and back away from the arms.

Brandon I honestly just worked mine on the hinge for like five minutes and it helped substantially. Personally I don't like drilling cause I can overdo it too easily and cause slop. However its entirely possible your case is worse than mine was.

Do people use graphite lube on areas like hinge pin holes?

I chuck my hinge pins up in a dremel and polish them...helps a lot and makes for a silky smooth surface for the arms to move on

It's better to do something with the pins that don't attract dirt. I would rather polish them vs. adding a lube.

okay...here we go!
Finished up the 'lite and am about to hit the track for the first time.
weighs in at 1520g without a transponder...still need to buy one.
hope it survives my learning curve
