New to the buggy world, having a t5m though the b5m seems like what I will want when the time comes to get one.
Thanks for all the good info in this thread!

Welcome and I would keep an eye on the for sale section, there are a lot of complete and already modded out B5Ms for a good price.

Silly question, but if I mix 25 wt oil and 30 wt oil 50:50, will it be 27.5 wt oil? I have both and want to try 27.5.

There was somewhere on here ( RCTech, not this thread) that had a link to a site that would tell you how to mix what with what to get a desired weight. Try google. Thats about all I can offer.

Ish... math wise yes, viscosity wise not so easy. You can try it and see if you like the desired result, or just buy a $3 bottle.

Are you supposed to grease the dog bones on the diff side? The manual didn't mention it. Seems like some lube would be beneficial but I could also see it attracting dirt and causing a problem.

Not necessary as it will attract dirt. Should spin freely without any lube.

I would definitely go with a shorty. If you happen to go with a low rider trans it will work with that as well. Also with the shorty you can position it forward to improve weight distribution as well as being lighter. Many companies have them cheap including SMC, dinogylipos and plenty more.
Thanks, I ordered a couple from SMC yesterday

What have you broken on your B5M?
I know I can't predict every failure but I'm wondering if there are any parts I should keep around to minimize down time at the track? I'm just starting to race and local shops aren't super well stocked with B5M stuff yet so I'm somewhat tied to the online shops for now.

Same here. Bulkhead and front shock pivot ball/eyelet were damaged after a crash (my fault though). Hinge pin was a little bent as well. Other than that I've had no other breaks.

Anyone know if Team Associated is going to release the B5M to B5MCE kit to other stores or will it just be sold through them? Thanks
