Push on entry actually. The after pic is after 2 12 minute practice runs so the weight really wasn't bad

Also if I wanted to convert the lite to a rear motor. Is there anything else required besides the B5 conversion?
Why switch to the 4 gear when you haven't tried the 3 gear yet? The car is amazing out of the box with no additional parts required.

Got a hold of SLRC. Emailed him through Facebook. All I can say is that if you think the Lite is awesome out of the box, you should try it with an SLRC chassis. It is not a milled stock chassis. Its a whole different chassis, made from a different aluminum, that is much higher quality than a mass produced stocker. I bought a car that had one installed already and now I've ordered one for each of my B5Ms and T5M. You can really feel the difference. They are really incredible. Best single product that I've bought lately.

Welcome to the dark side Dino I too switched from dex210 to the B5, I still have the 410 though, are you dropping all your Durango vehicles? Did they pull there sponsorship? You will be very happy with the B5/M it's a good car with lots of support.

Thanks Frank
Looking forward to trying out something different on a new platform since I am currently without a chassis sponsor for this year.

When I got into situations like that I would change my line for sweepers and use a lot more brake on tighter turns. That was a long time ago and I did not have the time that I do now to adjust my car for conditions. Are Rips the standard tire there? Those conditions seem more like a groovy/4 rib.
