Welcome to the forum Jason. Get the the B5M now and have fun now. Unless you are getting serious about the 17.5 class I would not worry about making it too lite.
If you don't like the MM, sell it and you should have enough to get a RM.
Just install some titanium turnbuckles get the right tires and have fun already.

This is good encouragement for me. I dont know, i guess i always feel like i am going to get something and then the next day something WAY better is going to come out. I always try to tell myself its not the arrow its the indian, but i stumble sometimes.
Any other suggestions besides lunsford for turnB's?
Also, i have heard some folks talking about schelle bearings....worth an immediate upgrade?
Anything else you might recommend as far as true upgrades?
I am probly going to pick up some RM arms as suggested by many to try out.
WC, whats on the pizza?
Thanks

Opinions on square pack vs shorty pack? Seems like most of the pros are using shorties. I'm getting my B5M this Friday and I'm curious.

Lazy easier driving car... square pack. Something a lil more reactive and agile... shorty. I prefer the shorty. Drives like a pig IMO with a square or saddles

if you are a casual and dont care about motor temps or going fast, run it box stock in 17.5. Put a really small pinion like a 28 and 78 spur. you will be slow, but you wont fry a motor either. Dont worry about the 1700 gram car you are driving around. Just know you can literally push people around the track. Just do laps and have some fun. /sarcasm off. Just run mod if you are in dire need of a MM car. If you are not going to spend $500 plus on a good car for stock, just run the box stock in mod. I tried the MM at stock weight in 17.5 and is sucked. It cornered fine, but could barely jump at all. The MM car is fun to drive for sure, but for stock you need some cash. And not FT cash. All that alum only makes it heavier. You need to ditch that massive slipper minimally. If the FT comes out and it is full alum hardware, then LOL. worst stock buggy ever. Just run mod and save yourself the issues. get a 13.5 or 10.5 and run mod
In actuality, i talked myself into running stock. I really always had something hotter than a stock motor in every car i ever driven since i was a kiddo. I just figure if i was really going to take it seriously (take that with a grain of salt) that i should start stock. From the sound of it, it actually sounds more expensive and more about car tuning than actual driving (being dramatic here).
Ok, mod it is.
I think you used the jedi mind trick on me and it felt alright.

The JConcepts FIN turnB's are great as well. Some other things I would do are a schelle, or avid, or FT bearing kit cause the kit ones are not great. and the aluminum rear mounts are a breeze to change anti squat and toe with. Other than that its an awesome car right out of the box.
Thanks!

Bearings, that's what he was talking about. The gearbox bearings are awful!
Replace those things while your building and keep em for spares only!
JConcepts finned B4 titanium turnbuckles and Aluminum rear camber block only "Needed" upgrades right away.
Otherwise it's a GREAT car out of the box!
I went with the front hexes because I didn't like the narrow hex of the stock axles. Personal preference!
