Hahaha, dude I dont think anyone in the country, maybe the world is running the shock package we are locally.


front:
2 limiter
1.4x3 pistons
32.5 oil
AE Orange spring

rear
2 limiter
1.6 piston
30.5 oil
AE yellow spring


Also using front gulwing arms and tower. I dont expect many people to try this, lol.


My setup is based off this one.

Apples to oranges in comparison. From Driver To driver, The variable in speed is too drastic to say, "weight X works best with setup Y". Giving blanket statements over the Internet is like trying to give a haircut through a telephone. I can tell you what to do, but I'm blind to the result, and blind to your track, motor, and most important of all, driving ability.

Wildcat drove my car and hated it. My car with the same setup as posted above is drasticly different than his as well, I'm 100 grams lighter. In the scale of things, that is huge. There are also some other setup cues that wildcat didn't post that are mandatory when going that stiff.

That's nearly what I use too! LOL. Except springs...for me is gray front/ white rear and I don't have steering limiter in. Oh and also using standard gullwing arms/tower instead of the Hard.

Now I wonder if weight is similar or if the shock design is that versatile? Interesting.

Doesn't show whether the rear camber link mount is up or down, but I run mine down with zero washers inside and outside down on the hub for high bite, but middle down on hub for when track dries slightly.

WOW! So I'm at the end of the line with reading this string. Took about 3 weeks with off time here at work.

I'm running my B5r waiting for the boat to unload to get my pre order of the 5mlite from Tower.

Some of the 5mTrucks hit my track this past week.

Just got back into the hobby and bought a B5m for my son and I. I was wondering what you guys are doing for weekly maintenance on this car?

So is there anyone out there still running inline? Or was that just a quick little fad? I was thinking ha out trying it and then I took a few months off from racing and never got around to it. Got the itch to go racing again and wasn't sure if it was still "the thing to do"
Medium to medium/high bite medium size indoor clay track

Thanks Mason and Socket for the shim tips!

I am! And I still love it. It worked indoors, it's working outdoors. Oddly enough, it's fantastic for me on low bite and rough stuff. I think having the weight centered may be what's helping in the rough stuff. Also, added flex is a big factor in my setup. But inline is definately something to try

I'm sure most of you have heard of VRP (Vision Racing Products) lately. I have been testing a ballast weight chassis for the B5M for them. This is going to be a great tuning option for racers looking for that edge. You can adjust the weight placement on the lowest part of the car.

(Shown only with a few weights, Didnt have all of them when I took the pics)

@Smiley, cool chassis, but what body is that?
