I stopped posting here a while ago due to the people that were to lazy to read/search the thread. Now with the volume of MISINFORMATION/OPINION that is posted as FACT, in regards to getting your B5m down to weight I feel I need to make on last, last post. First a few questions for the weight experts.
1. How much over the NASCAR minimum does Jimmy Johnsons car weigh WITHOUT ballast?
2. Same for Lewis Hamilton's F1 car? I guess more than Nico's since he's trailing in the points
3. How about those guys and there Tour De France bikes how much extra weight do they carry?
The answer to all three is NONE!
Finally if you think weight really doesn't matter, go ask your doctor how much extra weight you should carry.
If you want to know how to get to 1499g search out my previous posts in this thread it's all there, and doesn't cost that much. If you REALLY want to get light so you have ballasting options or want to run the FT Al parts PM me.
I wont waste the Experts (?) time responding to this thread again, nor will I be baited. I will continue to follow your ridiculous theories though, because My Teammates and I love a good laugh

I dont like a super light car, its my preference. I know a few people who went to 1499 and could not get the car planted. I am sure all of that could be tuning. Probably is. 99% of rctech are not expert tuners. That is just a fact. And non of the "pros" run super light stock cars. Hartson didnt even do that for jc stock nats. The shock packages that WC preaches and several other preach are for heaver mod cars. If you have a perfect high bite 1499 gram setup, please post it for all to share. No sarcasm, but that info is not not here. Most people post here and going super light dont have a clue and the fast locals are not always very forth coming. They are too busy discharging and charging packs at 40 amps, grind endbells for more timing and removing winds

I don't mess with my motors but I've been charging at 30-40 amps since the last JBRL. Talk about pop win the lipo comes off the charger! I picked up some of the expensive Fantom roar legal motors and the timing on those goes to 80! I don't have the sack to turn it past half way.

Note : I recommend 4 x 55 pistons for their improve stability in the corners.
Not due to the weight of the car at all.
The set up I use ?
You know , the one that is completely different from what the Cali boys still have come up with ?
It's a lot lighter then most..Oman!
short pack
no pile of spaghetti motor wire
Trimmed battery brace & water fall
Facts only and no spew for me please..

Okay, a lil off the current topic right now but I'm looking for a spring chart for all the current AE offroad springs. I dont see any with the white springs in them. So again all the current ae off road springs charts. A link or picture is highly appreciated. Thanx.

i don't care how much money you spend on a car to lighten it up,If you can't keep it on all 4s through the whole race its point less,i raced a 22 which isisnt the lightest car and i was tq a lot,You can do good with a heavy car you just need to know how to set it up and DRIVE the damn thing,I see so many people spending 100s$$ to have all this bling and make it light,they get on the track and there a hot mess,or they sit there and stare at it for half the day like they don't want to get it dirty.

If I was going to make a dedicated race RC I would go all out from the time I opened the box. Otherwise, taking away weight after I have a working set up means I need to retune the chassie... But I am new here so what do I know.

Reading through all this "stock" crap...
First, it makes me glad I run mod and do not have to worry about how much my car weights or how much money I need to spend to get it light. If you are THAT competitive then just man up and run mod.
And second, it makes me wonder what the hell happened to stock as a class for people to move up from Novice and work on learning how to drive to move on to mod down the road.
Lame.

Stock motors used to be no more than $25. On the other hand, back in that time frame, we did all we could to make our cars lighter/faster. The car didn't even remotely look like the original factory car when we were done mucking around with them. If you turn that around one more time, my son runs his totally unmodified B5M with a blinky 17.5 in the mod class and does just fine. The track we are currently running on doesn't have any ridiculously short run ups or lengthy triples either. It flows and allows for some great side by side racing with a nice quad section that puts the focus on timing and throttle control instead of max traction and horse power.
