Maybe I am not pinching them correct.
I have been pinching them from the top and to pinch from the side of them.
Is that correct? Also should i pinch them with the ball stud in the cup or out?

Pinch them with the ball stud in the cup. Squeeze hard enough and u can see the cup actually stretch out.

I didn't think about the cooling. Good point.

Thanks.

It won't elongate the cup, just the hole on top temporarily. There is a video on the first post of this thread. It shows the whole process, watch that and then post up any more questions you may have, but it's pretty thorough.

I have two videos on the first page that should help you. I found needle nose to not have enough leverage, so I had to use a more blunt-nosed pair that gave me more pressure.

Ran my B5M today on the cactus layout. Massive traction. The track is very fast and flowing, but also really easy to roll the car over. I spent the entire day trying to more traction. Going to try and drop the ride high and go up in springs/oils on Tuesday during practice. Kinda wishing I had sway bars, lol.

Facebook is blowing up about the cactus watching and food rules, lol. go share your thoughts

Want to take performance to a higher level? Lean up your B5 or B5M with ProTek R/C Titanium Axles.

The ProTek R/C Titanium Axles are CNC machined to near-exact tolerances from high-quality domestic 6AL-4V (Grade 5) titanium alloy material and polished to a brilliant finish. The 6AL-4V titanium features one of the highest strength-to-density ratios of all materials making it extremely strong and lightweight, without any sacrifices. Additionally, titanium is heat tolerant, corrosion resistant and looks damn good.

Weighing only 3.5 grams per axle, compared to 6.5 grams per steel axle, these titanium axles drop a combined 6 grams of rotating mass from the driveline. For the stock racer, these axles help decrease motor fatigue, boost efficiency and reduce overall weight.

So… want to take performance to a higher level? Lean up your B5 or B5M with ProTek R/C Titanium Axles.

Features:

Notes:
The axles will accept the +4mm rear pivot width with the ASC9925 Clamping Hex.
The axles will also accept the MIP Puck system.
