Wildcat,
For range, my home track has a max of maybe 50 - 75 feet from drivers stand to the extremes corners of the track.
However, soon I will be visiting more tracks that may push that to 100 - 125 feet.
Also, is there anything I should not run the antenna near because of interference issues (motor, servo, ESC, transponder) or is everything pretty well shielded?

I have used the search function to research this tuning tip of running the B5R front tower, as well as front and rear arms for "better traction" and i see it referanced all over, but cannot find the explanation of why it provides better traction. Does anyone know, and if so, do you order the "hard" arms and shock tower? Thanks
I don't think that anyone answered the "why" of the RM front arms.
Draw it out on paper and watch how the arc of the shock is different between the two when going from full extension to full compression. Starting from full extension you can see that the lower shock pivot moves toward the centerline of the car quicker (thereby less leverage) with the flat arms. In short the progression of the shock and spring are different. The tower is used to correct the droop when using the flat arms. I liked the improvement of the flat arms and tower though, I found it easier to drive regardless of the physics.

What's the reason behind running 3X1.4 pistons up front?

no real issues. with 2.4 ghz, if you go out of range, most cars just stop. I can get over 100 feet with my antenna coiled and shrink tubed.

Any gearing suggestions for running a Trinity 10.5? Going to order an avid slipper and can select which spurs are included

Well, I decided to run some mod buggy tonight because a friend of mine wanted to, and I got the pleasure of putting in some racing against Brian Kinwald and Spencer Rivkin. Sure, I got spanked, but I put on some of the best laps I ever have with the B5M. Funny thing is, my car felt like crap. was pushing hard. Maybe I just make less mistakes with a pushy car. Anyway it was fun.

yeah, laps were about 22-24 seconds. I was in the upper 23 second range. Spencer was in the lower range
Does anyone agree that practicing with a mod motor and racing with a stock motor will make you a better racer?
