hi guys... for those of you posting about using the b5 rear arms on the b5m..
don't believe all these rumors.. you have to use the left arm on the right side of car.. and then the offsets are the same as the b5m arms, the differences are the swaybar mounts and inner sweeps.. but shocks mount in same spots, bends are same and so are hub positions.. if you use them left on left.. it would be the same as putting on the stock arms backwards.. the sweep would go to the back .. and the car handles horrible.. tried it.. hated it.
also on front arms.. the flats are same positions as gullwings.. the handling difference is in the tower.. the b5 tower is shorter and holes are more inside then on the b5m. so its like laying your shocks in on the b5m tower.
which smooths steering.
hope that clears some things up for some of you.

Gotta try everything and see what yourself prefers... right ? Maybe it sucked for you Rickster, but as we've been trying to stress in this thread so far, it's all about trying things on tuning to see what you like or not.
Good luck all

CENTRO brass weight???
Fellas quick question, has anyone besides me tried the CENTRO front brass weight? Says it works for the B5 ! But i see no way this will mount to the front of my buggy......also it says on redrc that it can be used with the stock bulkhead!!!
Thanks

If it makes any difference to anyone... I got this rear-motor rear arm tip straight from current IFMAR 4wd Buggy World Champion Steven Hartson @ OCRC. I also know some other racers that have already done this change up, and instantly liked their cars better.

I'm going to get a chance to try my new square today against the shorties that I be been running. Due to the extra weight I'm sure some steering should be gained. For those of you running saddles or squares, do you like the forward or rear battery position? Obviously I'm going to try both for myself but just curious.

finally got to run my rm car last night,first impression on the car was "what push" I'm running the thienke setup and this car has steering for days,shorty forward and no weight up front,i was running brand new m3 ions also.My rear was actually a little loose,granted track was cold and traction wasn't the best but my rear was a little loose for my liking,but running two classes with only 7 races i didn't have anytime to change the setup,overall with only 5 packs on the car it should be really good

hey mx racer.... try going to the 30 deg. caster block up front.. I did that and it really helped steering a ton. I also moved my rear hubs forward to increase the traction.. now have a good balance of both.

hey bill... so I measured with a digital caliper and its 1/3 of a mm farther forward sweep.. so yes they are right.. and what I meant by it sucked was I even tried drilling holes and trying left b5 rear arm on left side.. which swept the arms way way back.. that's what I meant... sometime hard to say things on here when your tired.
I didn't use my dig. caliper the first time I tried them on.. so yes I was wrong.
and what works for my driving style and are may not be what works for you.. so test and have fun man... that's what its all about.
