Nice. MM is nice, but many many of the drivers I have talked to remarked the same thing on some layouts. Some layouts the MM car is just harder to drive consistent. The RM is the same everywhere IMO. It is a set it and forget it car like the B4 was, but with way better jumps, corning and forward bite. plus all of the durability.

SRS was closed today. They are redoing the track so there should be a new layout. They said that it might be ready tomorrow afternoon. I'm hoping so. For warehouse 3 what kind of tires do you use? I think I'll go out there tomorrow if it isn't ready. I'm itchin' to try out the new buggy on a track.

here is an interesting quote from Ron Schuur on facebook
"Hobbywing esc's are dominant across all 3 SPEC Classes. Split between the Stock SPEC, V3.1 Stock SPEC, and the V3.1. Hobbywing has taken all 3 TQ positions!"
I guess hobbywing esc's dont suck

Well geez I think my stock B5M is just to good now, or I'm losing my skill because i"m to busy pulling wheelies in mod. LOL
I need to probably decide on stock or mod, but it's a tough decision!

Don't want to waste the money to see, was hoping someone at one of the tracks out there has a buddy that has a serpent, could drop it on and see how close it is and what doesn't fit...
A friend wanted a phantom on his c4.2, we checked around to find that b5m doesn't fit it, however the rb6 body did. Saved him $22 on a mistake

HW speed controls rock actually. Just at the moment have 4 LRPs powering my kits and done feel like trying to sell them for enough to switch. If I did switch I would go Orion Stock. Plenty powerful enough for all of my cars even the 4 wheel buggy, and I know how to program with the switch. No need for the box.

would like to thank everyone for the set up suggestions. i ended up returning the buggy to near manual set up. i shortened rear links, took out all ackerman, lowered front ball stud height and the car hooked up great. 63 entries today, 3 mains of buggies. qualified 4th in mod buggy a main and finished the main in 4th. i have never did this good in al the years ive been racing. all the mid motor guys were like wow that thing is hooked up as im taking their lines away in the corners and passing them in the air! lol

Be care full what you wish for,
what you do not like is what makes the Silencer more popular.
Adding more down force on the rear is not helping the handling on the B5.
Maybe the Serpent needs , not the B5 though.
That's why the new Silencer is only copy of the Centro Silencer.
Track time has been proving that design is a winner.
Maybe ask the Serpent boys if a b5m shell fits a Serpent ?
Hey wc Idc, I like what I like and I don't like the ugly silencer. The design is a winner because the best racers in the country have it on their car. Why did they switch to the new body? Because it's is the latest out from their sponsor and the sponsor wants to sell us new stuff. After a little, I'm willing to bet they run the finnisher. Why? Because it's better than the silencer? No bc they want people to buy them.

Cav has the Finnisher mounted up on his B5M for Nats...
