He's got one on Oople. Threads like that don't do well here. Too much heckling.

Some guys are just jerks.
Jerzi has been posting some great builds on rc10talk. Custom one off parts for vintage cars and new.
The wise guys in this thread probably couldn't make anything on their own.

Okei guys.
That chassis is far from ready.
It was in very hurry put together and it was in a race and it worked very great.
Best b5m chassis i have done, i have made some in the past.
Ill put an new pic when it is ready.

I made my statement because as a consumer I see a poorly designed,cut and drilled chassis by a vendor whos marketing it as a pretty good upgrade while blatantly violating the rules of selling outside the forsale forum after being warned more than once.

Exactly. I have been noticing more negative comments lately and was starting to get annoyed. How many of the guys ragging on him can do what he can? Just because it doesn't look like a finished product from a major company is no reason to act like that. If you don't like it, keep scrolling.
Rant over.

A guy ask what is an good chassis?? I answer my is.
Is that marketing??
Iam not selling of these chassis.
So a question.
If i put an link or an pic of x factor chassis and put the price also in there, is that marketing?? Or not.
IAM JUST SHOWING MY CHASSIS
I was not trying to sell something because i dont have anything to sell.

I would suggest you just relax and don't make a bigger deal out of it than it already is. Several people have commented in your favor today and about the manners some participants in this thread seem to lack.

Just take it easy, stay within the rules, and contribute to the thread.

My rear carbon shockstay and an 4mm thick carbon chassis. Theese parts will be tested soon.
Then you can see my carbon rear and front wing. They work great.
NOTING IS FOR SELL JUST SHOWING UP MY STUFF.

I made my statement because of something that happened at our local indoor track back in early February.

There are quite a few of us running the B5M there and 5 of us were standing around talking about the buggy. At least 4 of us are members here on RC Tech. I don't remember the subject all that well but I suggested checking out this thread for an answer or advice.

Two different guys in that small group told me they do not participate in this thread in any way because of the general attitude in here. I'm phrasing that in a much nicer way than they did, by the way.

It's pretty noticeable in here at times compared to other threads I follow from less widespread brands. And I really doubt some of you would dare speak to people at your tracks the way you do in this thread.

hi im wondering if running a square brick battery would make this car more stable and give more traction over a shorty or saddle packs? thanks

If you show up at the track with a custom chassis that you made your self, feel proud. I would. I have. I have a mostly custom short course that I built myself that looks like nothing else out there with the body off and performs really well given my driving ability. I bought a b5m a couple months ago immediately started turning it into a short course. Didn't get as much following in the build thread as I expected but I'm still going to finish it. Keep doing what you are doing, and keep sharing. It's interesting to see different ways to do things.
I feel like we're at the point in the hobby where everybody just buys kits and goes racing. The days of custom building are over. Not much innovative coming out anymore. Just the same features put together slightly different depending on the manufacturer.

Lately i've been racing my B5M's with one setup inline (battery inline) and one standard. I find the inline car results in slightly quicker lap times AND feels better around our track. However I make more mistakes with it. The standard car feels smoother or something but i'm always wanting it to different things at certain parts of the track. But I very rarely make mistakes with. During our mod A-mains I can race it without error.

Just an observation. I'm gonna go back to my standard car and just deal with slower, consistent races.

He didn't offer it up for sale. He also didn't say it was a race ready design. Guy has been one offing parts for guys to try near him since the car came out. He never pushes selling them. In fact usually I see him saying its not for sale and he does it for the enjoyment.

You must dislike Kinwald as well... he is the master of hacking things apart and trying different ideas.

Tried inline on mine recently and didn't like it at all. Immediately went back to sideways. Found inline made the car darty. Was quick to respond but also unpredictable.
