Quick tip for anyone using the 3x8mm set screws in the front caster blocks (which eliminates most of the slop): those little screws strip VERY easily so don't over-tighten and back them out very carefully. If they strip you'll never get that caster block off the hinge pin in one piece. You'll be hacking away at it with the Dremel like I just did.

I currently race a schumacher KF and have always had a B5m in the back of my head. From the guys that race what have you seen comparing the two and would it be an "upgrade" to switch? I run on indoor ozite offroad track.

Now that the low traction kit is out for the KF it will be great on dirt too. No mid motor corners or jumps quite like the KF. Combine that with traction on dirt and it will hang with the B5M I am sure. But price wise the B5M is the way to go.

Set screws came in the mail today and just finished installing them. Most if not all slop is gone. I was most concerned with the rear hubs and the excessive play, but I used 2 on each side and the rear feels like a fresh build with no play. If you haven't done this yet, consider doing it. You will be amazed how everything tightens up.
