I have a question, I just finished building my 2nd B5m(Lite version this time) and was wondering if I could get some ideas on how you set your ball diff once you build it and it's installed in the car. I see setup sheets that say tight and standard ball diff and I'm not sure how to do this. Also what track conditions would use a tight setup or a standard setup.

4 gear transmissions, 3 gear, low 3 gear. Why not just make a 2 gear? Even quicker response.

Just watched that video...... Holly Crap.
Glad those guys race for a living. Just as bad if not worse than listening to Ronefalk ( don't care if its spelled wrong) talk about VRC!
But... I got the answers that I needed, so well done on the information part. Hopefully, AE will splurge for speech coaches for their drivers!

Not enough space for the axle, spur, and motor, for the gear ratios required. Without an idler the spur can't be very big or it hits the axle-outdrive etc, and won't reach the needed motor pinion. At least not in any way I can figure out. Belt drive maybe, but I don't think they run as free.

Ok guys... Im going to go full noob retard with a couple questions here.
Back story... My daughter has move up into the 2wd buggy world and is doing great. Was battling for the win / bump in the B main yesterday but had an ESC switch go screwy... She is running my 3 year old 22 2.0 witch is still plenty fast but due for an over haul. At this point its going to be cheaper to get a full kit than rebuild.
And now Im stuck between the B5M ( regular, Lite, or CE) or the new 22 3.0.
I can tune and know what to adjust, so that's not going to be an issue. I already own a 44.2 so it will be nice not to have to worry about buying different rims for 2 different cars so that's a plus.
Really, I just need some clarification on set-ups, adding weight ( if you need to) and what people have found if they have switched from a 22 to B5.
Would it be better to get the Lite than the regular... besides being 75 grams lighter, is it really better?
Whats the difference with the 3 gear and 4 gear tranny? ( besides that one other idle gear)
Flat arms or Gull wing? (is it the same situation like with the SC10/T4.2 arms)?
Now with the cars being designed to run MM, are you guys adding weight like they had to do with the 22 ( tried it, spent $80 in brass, got pissed and sold it all, along with the MM parts swearing never to try MM again
)
Maybe Im just looking for someone to talk me into it. I would just hate to buy a new kit and watch her struggle and loose interest or something.

We have a bunch, Granite Leisure Time in Oakland, Me. Evolution in Casco Maine. (Both those are primarily clay) But the one old school track is Hillside raceway in Deerfield NH. About an hour and 15 minutes from me. We're also fortunate to have an indoor AstroTurf track in York, Me. (Maximus)

just go up and over the chassis brace with the servo wire. use the "notch" and recess in the chassis to run your transponder wire under the servo and mount the transponder close to the steering rack.
look here and see where the white transponder is mounted: http://www.petitrc.com/setup/associa...ace2015012125/

Does that change handling at all?

I just built what I think will be a great car for Debs. Heavy chassis , flat arms , 4 gear , shorty with 60g behind it , and some alum bits. If the CE car was out when I bought my stuff I would own it . The TLR car is nice , but no deal compared to what AE offers in that one box IMO. Come check it out wed night ...
Slack was cut before he won the worlds.... Just saying, it looked like the video was put together in in a hurry and they didn't really give Spencer and Cav time to "prepare" for what they were going to say.
Im all about being quick and efficient, but there are places where taking your time benefits more... Just like on the track
