None are known for breakage or weak spots unless you're using the hard pieces and crash a lot.

The B5M is as tough as nails. Unless your a hammerhead your more likely to wear parts out before you break them. The rear ballstud mount was probably the weakest part. The Lite version has everything you need.

Hobby Pro USA has Blue battery hold down thumbscrews.
They are shorter but have a bevel that should fit in the stap better.

QUOTE=a6]Hard to get the angle with my phone. But there is less than a 2mm gap. But the battery is crazy loose in there. It slides forward easy. I guess with my layout I could just stuff foam in there.

Alrighty. Decided to change the layout on this one. My other B5M has been so good I can't change it. But....today I stoped by the track and the owner moved pipes around and totally repacked the surface. I think it will be slicks this weekend. I really hope this car in the pics does awesome.

I will look for those thumbscrews. Thanx. For now I added thin foam under the Schelle brace like others suggested earlier.

Default Team Associated RC10 B5 B5M Differential Kit 91451

Hi bought a new Team Associated RC10 B5 B5M Differential Kit 91451

The bearings are the same size - they should not be different. They go inside the diff gear, and the outdrive.

It depends on your layout. I think stock electronics layout, 175mm is right.

Is that the length to route the sensor wire along the center of the chassis?
