and it never will. there's no substitute for fresh, be it donuts or new car smell.
Would any one mind posting a link for a shim set to eliminate slop around the front and rear (inner & outer) hinge pins?
Ideally tower hobbies but ill take any good recommendations.
in reality I think the majority of slop comes from the hinge pin hole getting larger from stress but im guessing there is not much I can do about that right?
Thanks all !!!

Ask your LHS if they have dust covering some shim kits somewhere.
Another option might be is to drill a hole and set screw the arm. I haven't spent time determining if the pin is sliding for/aft at all.

Besides going to 3 gears and taking a total of 75 grams of weight off, are there any notable differences in the lite? It seems like those who are really waiting could almost put together one themselves, unless it's silly from a cost perspective.

The car kinda sucks when it is heavy imo. I am about 1530 and it feels really good. So IMO you need to remove the weight.

Hi all, Just got a used B5M, and am going to start the rebuild process.
It's my first AE car, and currently going through this thread. 866 pages though, it's going to take a while to catch up. Expect questions as I go, and apologize in advance if I happen to dig up an old post.

But of course, the first page answers most...I try to go through the threads to catch what DIDN'T work for others, so I don't make the same mistake. haha

for those of us with the car and the bling, all we really need is the chassis. For people just getting into the B5M, the is a lot of cost saving for the lite car. Some guys also sold their B5M cars and want to built a fresh kit and dont have a car right now.

In heavy form the car is great for me personally. I do use a shorty 3800mah battery(because I had them), but added both C & D brass blocks, which made no percievable difference. Indoor track, clay, damp, high bite (dries throughout the day).
Edit: I should weigh my car sometime. I have no clue how heavy it is.
Steel turnbuckles, AE light motor plate, AE aluminum rear ballstud mount, LRP Flow ESC, RX-461, old school AMB transponder, Ace 1015 fullsize aluminum case servo, Shelle battery brace, Jcon rear clamp hexes, steel and heavy plastic for everything else. LOL.

Why do you say the car sucks heavy?
