Has anyone put the 2.5 degree toe block on to help with the on power push and wheelies and I'm thinking it should help with off power also

Just a question..How many stock racers, posting in here, need all this light weight stuff to keep up? All that money spent just so you can go as fast as the next guy. Why? because he's spending all that money to go that little bit faster. You all run a FULL main without a mistake? I can see doing it if you can make the A or B main in Stock at the Nats, but other than that I just don't get it
And that's all I'm saying, I just don't get spending all the money and worrying about this weight and that weight when it's all washed away with one pipe hit or marshal.
I raced stock/spec classes for years. mainly because it was all we had. Now, I would never do it.

Seriously though, I think stock buggy fun is about getting as much out of the motor as possible and then driving it the fastest way possible. In mod you can use power to fix mistakes or bad lines. Didnt set up for that jump right? thats ok, throttle it. In stock, you are having to roll that jump.
Mod is a big jump in most places too as far as skill

So, anyone that drove this can on an outdoor track?
I'm still not sure what to buy, a B5 or a B5M..
Almost all the tracks in my country are astro or carpet. only my local track is hardpacked dirt (with a thin layer of dust in the summer) + there are some parts that are carpet/astro.
Any suggestions wich car would be the best?

Hi,
does anyone know the dimensions of the top shaft spacer? The top shaft has too much back and forth play in the gear box, to the point where the entire slipper system moves back and forth along with the top shaft. The correct 6x12x4 bearings are correct (measured them, too). The only thing I can guess as to what's happening is the top shaft is too short, but I can't find any dimensions on it. Any help?
thanks in advance,

Just add in a thin shim or two...I dont really think its the spacer (or it could be a variation in thickness of the spacer from kit to kit). The trans on my B5 has very little play in the top shaft, my B5m has more...just added a shim to take out some play and all is good.

Why have an additional solder point that increases resistance?
They goofed up IMPO with 5mm ports. What I'd do is cut a female 4mm port in half and solder it in the 5mm port to allow the use of 4mm plugs. Done!
This of course is if ProMatch's was the only brick I could buy.

Gear mesh should not be lost with side to side play (unless its moving a 1/4" and no longer contacting the pinion, then we have other issues). I thought mine was pretty significant in the B5m but the addtion of 1 shim took most of it out. It has a little bit now but nothing to be overly concerned about.
