Does the wing with the holes line up perfectly with the associated mounts spacing or just get the version without holes?

The Lite is excellent. Great kit. 100% competitive out of the box for stock or mod.

I have raced my B5m Factory lite a couple of times (17.5 stock with the trinity short stack 1s 17.5 motor). On indoor clay the car "with the out of the box, kit set-up" was 1 second a lap faster than my b4.2 (24ish second laps in stock).
On an outdoor, dirt track the B5M with slightly softer rear shocks (lighter spring and lighter shock oil) was only .2 seconds faster (again avg of 24ish second laps in stock) than my b4.2, however it was more consistent per lap (my top 5 was close to a second faster with the B5m Factory lite than with my 4.2 factory team.
I have been very happy with the B5M for racing stock vs. my B4.2. (an I liked my 4.2

well not a flapper as in noises it just looks big and heavy, it is a little heavier but very very durable , it is actually not as loud as lexan doesn't make noise when it flips on its lid much at all which kinda hurts on marshaling sometimes, we all marshall with our ears as much as our eyes

I'm guessing he was referring to the fact that YOUR CAPS LOCK WAS ON AND YOU WERE YELLING.

Like the others said, practice on some connectors then try the motor.
When you change esc wires a good thing to have is a solder sucker. It's a spring loaded device that will pull hot solder out of things. Get the esc posts hot then suck all the solder off of them. It makes putting new wire on a breeze.
Here is Randy Pike from Tekin showing how on an RX8. That's a big speedo but the method still applies.

I'm not so novice on soldering, but I don't realise how to manage the ESC.
That RX8 has external plates. Mine is like this:
How can I unsolder it without opening or the risk to damage?
Ok, connectors are not recommended for efficency, dircect wiring from ESC to motor is tidy, motor change can be still achieved fast even by unsoldering.
But what about cutting the connectors off the ESC cables, and just add the cable needed to reach the motor, cable-cable soldering?
