I need to add a ton of weight to my b5 to get it up to min weight. I'm currently at 1451. The car handles like a dream right now so I don't wanna mess up the balance any by adding weight in the wrong areas. Anyone have any suggestions on where to add that much weight?

How in the H3** is it that light at running weight?? I believe im at 1521 and I thought that was good..
How is it for balance? Just add ballast and center nose weights

Time to get off shock pack and back to turnbuckles.

(friendly joke right there, some will get it)

Hah ok! I'm looking at the arms, and my brain just kept saying "Nothing should stop these from fitting on". Then A-Main Hobbies had the same part number for the shock tower for mid and rear, and confused me further.

At any rate, looking forward to getting in a long but hopefully productive tuning day at OCRC tomorrow. Brushing up on roll center adjustments and all that stuff right now.

How about lets talk about how no replacement parts are available...

Alloy steering makes a definite improvement in the steering with its added stiffnest over the plastic version.

Good upgrade...

Why do that when it's only temporary? Guy at the track just put his B5M together and second run some kid parked his rig on the straight. Next car down the straight was the 5m and killed the car but amazingly it didn't break. Yes it's sad no parts but soon enough there will be.

I went OCD to the max while building it. There isn't a wire on anything that wasn't shortened.

MRT transponder mounted front center of the servo. Solar Servo D770.
Modified the servo so that the lead was coming out the bottom, rather than the side and made it so it perfectly reached my receiver at the rear. Then I unsoldered the wire on the transponder and put a short pair of wires tapping it into the power lines from the servo.

Mamba Max Pro 1 cell, internally modified to run the high voltage servo.(2" piece of 22awg wire connecting the positive power lead from the battery to the positive wire of the receiver wire) No switch, no external caps, no BEC. Receiver wire shortened to extends 1.5" out of the case. Speed control mounted centered with solder posts facing the rear to keep motor wires short and the same length.

Corona R4FA receiver, only 8g. Not using any tube for the 2 antennas(it's technically an air reciever but works well with the car systems). I have them run in the channel for the servo lead under the battery. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...arehouse_.html

Turnigy Nano-tech 4200 shorty battery
Lunsford B5 Titanium turnbuckle kit
Trinity Team Epic Revtech Killshot Express Motorsports Animal 17.5t Motor(I just love how long of name that is)

Center of balance feels like it is just slightly behind the battery thumbscrews.

ok how I describe pack to my friends is like this, when the shock packs up in the stoke , the 1.6 will pack up the first 1/4 of the stroke where a 1.7 will pack up half way In the stroke and people get it .maybe this will help on here as well . just my .02 worth

What adjustments would you guys make to give this car a tad more steering? Seems a bit pushy to me

My buggy is near the setup I want but I have one problem, I feel as if the weight shifts forward to fast when I press on the brake before entering turns so I slide sometimes. Would going to a heavier front shock weight oil help slow the weight transfer?

nice... biggest thing i take away from that, is he ran inside on the rear tower... as well as 2-deg anti

did notice the inside during a2 and a3 pics...but a1 it was mid i believe.

I went to 3mm trailing, and 1 mm under the inner fron ball stud. Also running a shorty all the way forward with pink kyosho springs. Everything else is kit setup. Worked awesome.
