I was thinking that also.. May want to run a longer SS steel 3mm screw or 3mm tap to tap the those holes.

SS is softer. That only makes the issue worse. But tapping it would be good

good lookin out!! so is it worth getting them as far as getting the job done is concerned?

Good tip...you can use one of the longer M3 BHCS screws from the kit to thread the holes first.

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.

The kf really isn't the greatest dirt track car. I have my b5m paired with a k1 btw. Get the b5m if you want a better working mm car for dirt tracks.

Definitely worth using. My mistake was using stainless steel as it's softer. I'm switching to standard. They're cheaper anyways.

Yeah I agree about the KF not being a good dirt track car. Im wondering how they compare on carpet.

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.

Just start trying them on. I'm sure one will fit properly.
