Car setup feels flawless to me. I have the car taking great corner speed, with no push and no over-steer. I love neutral handing cars, and my car is REALLY starting to work for me. The car is just getting better and better.
Some B5m pron from this last weekend's club race. Thanks Honstain for the photos!

Yep she likes em I have a few more on the wall. Then I'm sure I'll find a new brand to run.

"Project sub 1450: Building the lightest B5M ever" <--If anyone has the bank roll for this, let me know!

I don't mind writing this. I've already bank rolled it.

Saw the T5M was coming in this week possibly. I heard that the lite cars also were coming in with them, can anyone confirm that?

Would be rad if they came this week.

Besides it wasn't the wing that pushed her B5M to victory. It was the Reedy power!

Curious why you are running the "mid" tower with the flat arms?

Most new relevant stuff.. just the last 20 pages or so. You don't need to read every post to learn all you need to know about this car.
Let's say you had a B5M sub-forum. Then you could have different threads for:

- Setup
- Factory Lite
- Chassis
- Stock racing tips/tricks
- Motors
- Rumors
- etc. etc.
...
or whatever B5M topics make the most sense to be organized by.

If I just want to read about setup for outdoor loose conditions, I would just read or search in the Setup thread. If I wanted to set up my B5M for stock racing, I could probably figure the top 5 things to get/do by reading one thread. Right now if I want to figure out setup, I would do what? Type "setup" would likely yield about a 1:10 signal:noise ratio.

I don't know how many other forums you visit for other hobbies, etc., but I would say the vast majority do this. There isn't like one Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution thread (my 1:1 car) -- there's multiple subforums, one for electronics, one for maintenance, one for mods, etc. Each subforum then has multiple threads.

It's just a lot better organized that way. Right now, everything is in one bucket. And I disagree that everything between post 2 and 11980 is irrelevant. That doesn't make any sense, there's a reason we don't just delete those 11980 posts -- they contain useful information as well.

I just built a TLR 22 SCT 2.0. Thank God the thread is 1/10th the length of this one, else I would never have found anything. Post 1 and the last 20 posts of that thread didn't tell me I should build according to the Wheeler setup (and NOT Maifield), get the brass rear hinge block, or that the mid-motor conversion kit was out of stock in most places but available on eBay.

Ok, I'll bite. I'll add various sections to the first post. Is the above list what you want? I'll fill with content, but give me the sections you want to see.

If Capt.America can transfer me the first 5 or 6 posts, I'll make each one a section and fill it with content as it comes up.

Cautrell05; I need a picture of the brass mounts with the inserts in to compare with the aluminum and stock arm mounts.
