I know you said that, and parts arriving all the time there is one thing, are any parts making it to show an in stock status? I check it multiple times a day and I can tell you that answer is no.

The 2mm trail was for more steering not to prevent twitch.

Just a heads up, the aluminum Kyosho RB6 front axles work with a tiny bit of modding. Just in case you guys are wanting a light weight axle setup.

My local track ordered enough parts so we have b5 parts,even aluminum parts. You cant put all the blame on associated because your track/lhs didnt order any/enough. Amain has parts go in and out of stock during the day. When you release a whole new car that people dont have spares alredy you have to expect them to get gobbled up,or pay a premium to those that do. Btw i bought a tower and related parta off ebay for $.99 plus $3 shipping which is cheaper than just the tower.

I don't have anything to photograph here but the gull wing tower has a plastic bump in it to denote it as gull wing, the straight arm version does not have it.

Welcome back Sean,
I thought that Kody told me you could mix and match, but maybe he left out those drawbacks.

See you Friday?

Has anyone had any luck finding B5M A-arms in stock? I raced the buggy for the first time last week and I broke the front shock tower. I was able to find a few of those but I am looking to stock up on a few other parts but having a tough time finding arms.
