Oh yeah Wildcat, using Marcus's Garodisk also. Once again I put those on before ever running stock goods.

Exotek have two new aluminium option parts for the Team Associated B5 and B5M buggy available in the form of the vented Flite motor plate and an aluminium rear ballstud mount for the B5M mid motor buggy. Starting with the motor plate, the CNC-machined part sports aggressive machining to make the part not only 6.5g lighter than the stock motor plate but to also improve motor and slipper heat dissipation. The critical motor mounting area was left out with machining to maintain a solid base for motor mounting and gear mesh adjusting. The part, that is available in blue and black colour, is designed for the use on indoor clay and carpet environments but a shaved bottom allows for debris discharge if needed.







The second new part is the rear ballstud mount for the mid motor B5M. Machined down to 6 grams to minimise weight but made with 7075 alloy to increase the strength over the stock piece, the 2-sided design has the stock roll centre height on one side and a -2mm roll centre setting on the other side by simply flipping the part 180 degrees. The mount comes in black or blue colour, polished and laser-etched.

Nat Maniac, other oddly things to check are throttle channel reversing before you calibrate esc. Straws..

oh one other thing - is there some sort of anti lock braking setup you have/have not done?

Hi all I plan to run a b5m with a tekin rs and a trackstar 17.5 motor at my local indoor clay track just for practice and for fun, what pinion and spur would you recommend? any input would be great. If the car is too slow I was planning to go to an 8.5 or a 9.5.

I am not new to the hobby and been in it for a long time so I can handle the power of the hotter motors. must wondering about gearing if I also go:

9.5 or 8.5 motors. what mod motor would you recommend? I was just going to buy a trackstar versions of those since they are priced right! I would probably have to get the x car 120 amp esc to go along with the mod motor since the tekin RS I think only supports down to a 13.5.

any input would be appreciated.

I have the 72 spur and settled on a 33 pinion, in blinky with 15* motor timing. Seems to be the right balance between torque/speed for the Speed Passion Reventon R and 17.5 MMM motor.
Motor temp is 135* after 7 minutes. I would start around a 32 pinion and you'll probably settle between there and 35.

Just get the trackstsr 120a turbo esc and a trackstar 8.5 motor and if your using a spur that comes with the kit run a 23/81

Does anybody know the weight difference between the Factory Team aluminum rear hubs and the stock hubs?

thanks for the input guys!

I was told the x car 120 amp esc is better than the trackstar turbo 120 amp unit, does anyone had any experience with either?

There are a couple of reviews on Youtube, however I cannot post any links yet.

Me and a few of my friends have been using Tracksatr 120a ESCs for a few months now. They are as good as anything out there. I have zero complaints with them.

I have a trackstar 120A in mine right now and I'm running equal lap times to higher end esc's. It's smoothe on throttle and brake and best bang for your buck. The rekindled RS can handle up to 8.5 but if your going to run a trek in I'd get the rsx it can handle a 8.5 better. If you want a really reliable and good quality esc chech out the LRP flow

Hey guys, quick question regarding the rear motor arms on this car. Did I see somewhere that when running the rear motor rear arms you flip them side to side on the mid motor car? Like you run the left arm on the right or vise versa? Or am I just losing my mind?

Cpt.America

That is correct.. you run the R arm on the left... and the L arm, on the right, so they sweep forward. Otherwise they would sweep the wrong direction.

Where are you guys running the rear motor rear arms setting your rear toe and antisquat at? I'm running on medium traction clay if it matters

I run on a Med-med/high traction clay track and I'm running 3+1.5 and my car is hooked up.
