Tekin not what it use to be? I'd love to fly out to some of these tracks and actually race with some of you guys and see what problems you guys experience. Maybe I could help get to the bottom of something you have an issue with. While the HW is a great speedo I have yet to lose a race because someone had a better speedo or motor. Every motor company you have mentioned has good motors. One isn't better than the other IMO. Winners of the Cactus, OCRC stock nats, and 2nd and 3rd in the pro class at the OCRC stock Nats run at my local track so it's always a nationals at club races.

What are peoples thoughts on the hobbywing justock? I currently have a pair of 1st gen Tekin RS's (with a 3rd not in anything). I know a lot of people like hobbywings in general but the justocks aren't the same as the v3.1s and have double the internal resistance of my RS's.

I'll answer that with a question...How many users on here are anywhere near the elite guys in talent yet they will go buy something just cause a pro has it. Take the B5 (trying to get back on topic) it's a great car and has had some great runs. Why....because about 90% of the racers run it so the chances a B5 wins are higher than other manufacturers. Does that mean the other cars aren't capable of winning? No, but it will take a focused racer to beat a B5. Mayfield left the B5 platform and is just as fast with that 22 as he was with the B5. Tekin doesn't have all the Cavs and Tebos that many base their buying products on but it's a great speedo and motor. if you're ever in sac racing is on me ;-) Curious to see if my car feels right in your hands.

Been out of the scene for awhile and picked up a B5M kit, Spektrum DX4R and now I need some input on ESC/Motor and Servo.
I was looking at LRP Flow Team w/17.5 motor and also the Tekin RS GEN2 w/17.5. Any suggestions there?
What about a servo? I was thinking SC1258TG from Savox but heard of problems with Spektrum receivers??
Thanks!

1) Reedy Sonic 540 Mach 2 17.5 Spec Brushless Motor
2) HobbyWing XERUN-120A-V3.1 ESC (1/10, 1/12 Car), Black
3) Hobbywing Multifunction LCD Program Box for ESC Programming (3-function)
4) Savox SC-1258TG Super Speed Titanium Gear Standard Digital Servo
5) Thunder Power RC TP610C-ACDC Multi-Chemistry AC/DC Charger/Discharger/Cycler with Balancing System
That combined with the B5M Kit and the Spektrum DX4r Pro and all I need now is batteries...
I wanted a good ESC that I can run mod with too eventually... So I went with the V3.1 not SPEC.
What do you think? Did I make the right choices?

Everything else is just fine. Get the correct tires for the track you will be running on. Tire's are 90% of setup IMO. The B5M drives itself. If you've been out for a while I'd run the box stock setup and get back use to things and once you can run a pack consistently without crashing then start trying different things on the car.

The stock spec is basically the same as the regular 3.1 only it is 100a vs 120a but it still can run down to a 5.5t which the regular 3.1 runs down to a 5.5t with 2s lipo off road the only major difference is the stock spec only ways like 40 grams bc it has a plastic case which is great for stock, were the regular 3.1 weighs like 90 grams bc it has an aluminum case. But the 3.1 is still a great choice just making sure you realize the differences I know it is very misleading to call it "Stock Spec"
