ha ha ha
Thought you said we will be short on supply ?
You lose.....

Riverside HP is in RC nomansland for a weird reason. Usually if Hesperia and Redlands don't have something, that one does. Very surprised the west Riverside Corona area doesn't have a track. I will run my RM until summer, then get a new MM kit for my birthday from the wife.

GTB2. It is just a couple mm bigger than a flow according to the published specs. Don't have a car to test fit it in.

So was the B5 rear motor. I looked at the B5M manual and it also suggests the 4mm trailing axle insert for the stock set-up. I switched to the 3mm trailing axle insert in my B5 rear motor and then I had more steering than I could deal with. So the first change I make to the B5M from the stock set-up will be to use the 3mm trailing axle inserts.

Track looks a bit busy. Hard to race with so many challenges. I wouldn't bother boosting a 17.5. Don't see any place boost would kick in.

Anyways congrats on the win. Definitely challenging.

Car has plenty of steering with the kit set up, if anything all I notice was forward traction felt a bit low.

Hearing Ae will.be releasing brass rear arm mounts .
Something to look for ...

Make sure everything is clean with alcohol or brakecleaner and use red loctite on the screw. Let the Loctite dry and then wipe everything back down and install axle into the hub. Make sure no Loctite gets on the bearing!!!
