Has anyone tried the shape ways slipper eliminator? I am looking to get a eliminator for my b5m since I run 17.5 and figured this would help with more low end punch. I saw the exotek one weights 3.8g and the shape ways weighs in at 1.3g. Just curious if anyone has tried one yet.

You can get a carbon fiber lockout (from amain) that works with the schelle spurs if you are that concerned about weight...but it aint going to make a significant difference.

Are your ball cups on upside down?

An eliminator can definitely help on higher traction surfaces. I was referring to you trying to find the lightest one possible. Trying to find a eliminator that is a couple grams lighter than another wont make a significant difference.

Edit: Exotek updated their site and shows it in stock so I ordered it. DO I need to get the kimbrough spurs also or can the stock ones be used?

Make sure you have the proper shims behind the caster block if you changed the trailing axle adjustment from the no. 4 insert. See chart. If you move axle to 3mm or 2mm trailing, you need to change the shims behind the caster block. this can be causing your problems.

Oh ok sorry I read it wrong then. My track is medium traction during the day and can be high at night. It is a outdoor track that I go to and sometimes indoor. I have been running my stock slipper pretty tight so I doubt it is even doing anything lol

diff
Does it really matter which side of the drivetrain the bolt head of the diff thrust bolt is on? Manual says to put it on the spur gear side.
Just finished my build and noticed I did this incorrectly, but didn't want to tear it down and rebuild it, if it's not necessary.

You should actually be running this ballstud at 0mm or -1mm, not +2. +2 will introduce a LOT of bumpsteer. The kit even has bumpsteer issues when run at 0mm.

It's MUCH easier to get to and work on if the head of the bolt is on the passenger side, but it doesn't actually matter once you're running. (edit:... not sure how they recommend for the lite kit... the standard 4gear that I run, we run opposite side from the spur)

Now here come all the comments saying it has to be on the "correct" side because it will loosen during driving if not...If that's the case then it will also tighten from being installed the "correct" way during driving....

Thanks for the responses guys. I can access it on the driver's side as well, and for the 3 gear seems to be pretty easy to access. I was more concerned as to whether or not it can actually loosen or tighten depending on side, but I haven't thought of a way yet where the diff can tighten or loosen under normal driving conditions.
