I talked to a MIP driver about this. He said the issue is mainly in the bones snapping. Often they will use the alum Pucks with shiny bones for 13.5

1258tg has never done me wrong either. Still have a couple. Great servo for the price.

I found the MM car to be much easier to drive and I was way more consistent. The rear motor car is well under 1500 grams while the MM is 1550 or so. I ran the same tires, motor, ESC....I tried hard to get them even. Both wheelied at the start.....etc etc. Once you learn to drive MM I just do see while you'd drive an RM car.

I just wanted to share. I've been doing a lot of testing. I also found that I'm .4 faster with my B5M than my RB6M.

I drove my old b4.2 back to back against the B5M and also was much more consistent and with the brass C&D I had about as much traction coming off a slow corner but with the B5M could keep the rear end more under control when it steps out where the RM would instantly spin about.

I have a few cars so I think any condition where a MM wouldn't work, I just wouldn't drive the class at this point.

I've been running it since the B4.2 and moved it over. Works great for me. If I were buying new I might go for one of the high voltage setups with more speed.
