the first set was tricky but after that is was good to go. I have not had any issues with tearing, I mostly get the AKA premounts though. I am using some VTR electrons, 7th race no issues.

Prolines 2.4 are way better than they used to be. My two sets of electrons last year at surf city lasted 2 runs each before the sidewall tore. It was a bummer, the tires were just getting good.

The B5M is generally not twitchy, in fact, its super stable. If your car is twitchy its 100% a set up issue. My only recommendation is go back to stock and go from there. The box set up is pretty good.
When I hear about all of these alternate set up types I honestly question how much faster, if it all, the changes make most guys. The best example was our dear friend Wild Cherry. He had a a host of changes that the "Team guys" were making every week and it was worth 0 tenths for him but his car felt better every week. I really think the best way to keep getting better is to practice and keep your car well maintained. I'm not a big believer in constantly changing things around. Once you have a decent set up I think you should just try to run some laps.
As some have mentioned, the factory manual does a pretty decent job of explaining what certain things do...I recommend if your asking a lot of questions that you look at the manual. Going on AEs website and copying Cav's latest set up is only going to work for you if you drive like he does....or as fast.

Thanks to everyone for the different experiences with your bearings and inserts. The one thing I know for sure is that my bearings got crunchy after three trips to the track, running with the completely stock parts and no glue.
I think I'll go ahead and replace the crushers then glue the inserts in. Just don't want to ruin these nice ceramic bearings.

Need recommendations on a better servo horn solution.
02-27-2015, 06:05 AM
I use a Racers Edge that came with one of the servos I got, works pretty good I think.

Can you please publish these statics, all of the pertinent information about your testing process and the sample size 
haha. I hate hate hate hate hate the AE plastic horns. When I use plastic, I use the tlr horn. When I use aluminum, I use the tlr horn Also, none of my servos have ever failed do to the alum servo horn. So that mean they never ever break servos. I like my statisics better.
