Anyone tried the new carbon front towers from Exotek or Pro-Line? May help to stiffen the front up a little?

i tried the exotek tower. made the front end much too stiff, although the car felt more consistent corner to corner with it. i ended up going back to the hard tower.

My B5M pushed like a plow with the stock setup. I thought the slipper was flawless though. Changed the setup and now I have great steering, maybe even a little too aggressive on turn-in. Better than driving a plow though.

I race high and medium bite tracks. When I go between the 2, I swap to the "correct" tires and I go up 1-2 spring rates in the front. The car is very responsive to changes. Way more so than the RM B5.

Yes, the car is very responsive to small changes. It lets you know right away if you have changed something in the wrong direction. It makes setting up quite a bit easier. I have had some buggies that just don't respond to changes well and it makes it hard to tell if you are helping the handling at all, or just chasing your tail.

Hey WC- headed down to TRCR for the gold cup. Could you share your full set up on here? Thanks!

You guys need to wait at least another week before trolling WC again for the latest tacompton setup developments.

That's good to know. I'll be running mine for the first time tomorrow night at the track for a test n tune session.

Mine is box stock setup except for B5 front arms, front tower and rear arms. I am also running the aluminum front pin brace, aluminum rear ball stud mount, aluminum rear hexes, Lundsford titanium turnbuckles and blue Bar Codes front/rear, HW stock spec V3.1, Trinity D4 17.5 Maxzilla, Savox 1257tg, Futaba 4PLS.

Lot of stuff going on at home the last couple weeks so I am really glad that I will finally be able to get out and run the car.

Can you let me know what you changed specifically? Im running kit setup on high bite clay and I feel like it pushes way too much on power steering. I'm used to driving SCTs with tons of oversteer

By their nature 2wd buggies don't have a lot of on power steering. Coming from sct you're gonna have to adjust your driving more than the car.

Have you tried the offset bushings? Stiffer rear spring? I run white rear springs and I use 1.6 pistons in the rear.

You running a shorty?

I just looked up the kit setup because I dont recall what it was. Looks after a bunch of tuning, I am mostly kit setup lol.

- I am using the kit camber link
- white/grey front springs for high bite, green fronts for medium bite
- I am using the Avid Triad Evo Slipper instead of stock
- I am running 2 limiters front and 1 limiter rear
- 1.6 pistons all around
- 32.5/30 oils
- rear shocks in at the top
- inline esc and receiver wit the saddle pack all the way back and sideways
- and I did a few things to drop the weight to 1560. I like that car at that weight

Yes, I'm running SMC shorty packs. I may try a saddle if I need too for more weight.

your running mod? Saddles are really only needed on lower bite.

Jeepy2013

iTrader: (115)

No, I'm running stock 17.5

I already have a saddle pack from my B44 in case I need to try it. But the track usually has pretty good bite from what I've seen.
