Thanks for the input. I think if it's okay to cut a brace out completely I'll just notch mine a bit to make it fit. I'm assuming that's what people are doing since most pics I see with a 410 installed still have both braces.

When Dirt webs are worn in the middle they are perfect. Use a good tire sauce , personally I love love love SXT 3.0
Bar Flys, Type O's when brand new are great tires for high bite, compacted clay. Sauce em up and run 2 or 3 laps and they should ready to go. We run those, ghost slick Dirt Webs or slicks at our track.
Run some new Dirt Webs that extra bite will most likely solve 90 pct of your problems. They should last a good amount of time, but you'll need to get them scrubbed in before they really start gripping good.
Like everything track time and experimenting there and talking to the local fast guys to see the setups and tires they run, will yield the best results.
Try a change run a few laps and make notes before making another change.
What track do you run?

JC8390 If your losing your ass end one item to double check is steering DR. If your at 100 and you have more then enough drop it a few points until you have to bring it back the other way. I have had ass end rotate and quickly get out of sorts because I had so much front grip and steering. When I calmed it down in front things calmed down. Last race though my rear was good changed tires and went to what felt like over steer to a quick ass end slip out, back to other tires and peas and carrots again so tires are 90percent.

Dirt webs do need a break in especially dirt tech foams. Electrons are good to have as a backup while they break in. I run both at the beginning of the night and pick which one works best since they are both great tires.

Right now, Ive left everything alone.. but I fixed my radio problem. Basically what I did is... my buddy calibrated the esc when I first set up the electronics. The throttle travel was at 100%. Then after that, I put the travel to 150%...so I believe the buggy is seeing full throttle somewhere around 75% trigger. Going to work from there this Friday lol.

Make sure your front tires are good too..too soft of an insert can cause it to grab weird. Tires are literally 90% of a setup, maybe even more than that indoors.

I just bought a B5m Champions edition, from A-Main, to run 17.5 stock buggy class. What upgrades should I get for it? As in like aluminum jconcepts parts & etc. Also what bodies are everyone using? I like the look of the jconcepts warrior, but I seen a lot of people running the JC world's body.

I feel like the only plus about the CE kit is that it includes pretty shock bodies...
What made you pick up a CE for stock class?

I recently built a CE and used the lite instructions for the build. I found out that not included with the CE kit are the 1mm ball stud washers for the front camber link, shims for the outputs of the diff and the b5 rear arms. I think that was all.

for sure. do think running a harder tire or insert in the front or at least same as rear is problably the best bet. I liked my 60mm dirtwebs, went to 2.2 which are ok, but think on indoor hard clay like the 60mm, going to try back to back.
