Actually spektrum/savox issues just point out that the bec is weak or failing on your esc

This was the second change i made behind going to the b pill in the hubs. Can always add the .5 in the stock hubs. Now with the c/d alum set you have better control over the antisquat.

I see Thielke has been using it on all of his setup sheets, so I gave it a shot. I really like it!

Recently went to the outer hole on the front hub. Like butter.

What kind of servos are you guys running? I'm running a Savox 1251 low pro that I used in my MM 22 2.0. I used that to gain room on the chassis. The B5M has plenty of room, and I could use a Savox 1257 I have laying around. Their speeds @ 6.0v are .09 - .07, and torque 125 - 139.

A savox 1257 is plenty of servo for this car. Most people I race with that have the really fancy $150 servos, turn the speed or dual rate down so that its drive-able. There is a benefactor to having a nice servo and thats if you hit something or land a jump funny it wont shred the gears. I have had good luck with a few brands of servos Savox being one of them.

I have the MIP top shaft. It was a tight fit but after taking it off to inspect nothing was scratched, dented or binding, just super snug.

Cool. It is a nice piece for 17.5 racing. I think my brain likes it more then the performance upgrade, just knowing my slipper is not an issue or something I need to tinker with.

What is the best battery location all the way forward with ESC behind it or sideways forward or back. I am running stock 17.5 and looking for more front bite. I have a lot of push even with blue jc dirt webs. Does forward battery location help? Thanks Chris

I find battery forward, in line, esc behind is the best. Good forward bite, good stability in cornering, and it helps pitch nose down a bit after takeoff on a jump to land the backside, especially in 17.5 when the motor and gyroscopic effect isn't as great.
