That is the stupidest thing i ever heard... Engineers are very specific and precise when they design something. If that was the case then those parts would be on the other car.
You guys can talk about it all day run what you want. sure there are times that things work better when somebody thinks outside the box like Kinwald turning his tires inside out I get it. But some of the stuff you guys come up is such a waste of time. Run it the way it was intended to run and concentrate on your lap times. Im out like Matt said Enough!

hello people! so i got my B5M a week ago, i came here to learn some racing setups/tips. After reading a few hundred posts, i noticed that people were having motor temp issues?

So, as of now I am only concerned about my B5M running its motors hot, because my driving style- is aggressive and i run 8.5 turn for 2wd modified class at our indoor dirt track.

I thought I saw somewhere- someone suggesting that we cut out the stock B5M body's side scoops? The scoops' positionings look right and the right side scoop looks like it lines up with the motor so should it stream cool air straight on the motor? OR would it be disastrous, weakening the body? Any tips or advices will be appreciated! Pic is attached for reference.

Listen, I get what everyone is saying... But if you're not on the level of being able to tell 1mm droop difference in your car or a 1mm ball stud change. Then you should just concentrate on proper maintenance of your cars and practice practice practice!
Swapping all these parts around isn't going to make any signifificant difference and had a great chance of throwing you off.

The temp issues are mainly in 17.5, because they are geared to the sky to get power. That said a MM motor will run hotter than an RM car. For me, its normally 20-30deg higher. Since i normally run 110 in RM, I only temp out at 140ish with a mod motor. Just vent the body and keep an eye on temps. even maifield vents his body

3:17-4:00 should clear up the debate

Cut it out and create a flap that directs the air down into the hole you created. Does not look pretty but we are racers looking for results, right?

Fellas quick question, I installed the centro-rc alluminum bulkhead (13gm) n the centro brass front brace (24gm). All same as the GHEA product ..........I was told that this will certainly cause my car to push!!! Is this true? Has anyone else tested?

Will the tecnacraft turnbuckles on my B4 work on my B5.

Sounds better then saying Ae designed only one way for gull wings..

be happy that the parts can interchange.. sometimes it takes trying something and seeing to understand how it will work. don't bash on who is right or wrong just help each other making a better car.

Having said all that... What is your motor geared at, and what temp is it coming off after 5 mins ? 8 mins ? 10+ mins ?

Just because others are having a problem does not mean you will. As someone already said, the temp issues are 17.5 guys that geared to the roof. I run like 10-15 mins on my 8.5T geared 78/23 and I come off at like 140.

this is what I saw maifield go. he made a flap that was lifted up to direct air in
