Novak hasn't been relevant in racing since the brushed days, even then, LRP started wooping their asses on ESC's and Trinity with motors. The Novak 4 was their last really good esc and I can't remember the last time they had a good motor, maybe the havoc when SC first started to get big. Bob Novak, is an extremely nice guy and holds a very dear place in this hobby. But he's let the times steam roll over him and Novak's dead now in the racing world. Stop living in 1987

Ok, I know it is hard to tell me what to do over the internet, but I was just hoping for a general guideline. I loved the rip from adding a 33 pinion but I just couldn't get up to top speed on the straight as much as I felt I needed to . I just wasn't sure if this motor was a real burner (as in heat), so I didn't want to go out on my first run with a 32 or 33 and see 160+ temps.
I do have a fan on my motor since I am way underweight so I am hoping I will see similar temps as I have currently just with more rip :P

Really now? I run 69/31 like in the manual and I actually like it better that the 72/29 I was running before so you think me going up one pinion tooth to 69/32 will be even better in my B5M FL btw that never gets above 120*f even after 25 minutes straight during practice (God I love the new mach3) and btw this is 17.5 stock but timing and boost allowed

He's talking about a different brand motor.

Thanks Phil! Hoping to come down after I get it. I'll be happy to have you take a look at my car, any insight is helpful as I'm still learning!

Which 2.2 wheels are best for the B5M? I have a couple sets of the Associated ones but almost all of the wheels have developed small cracks on the back near the bead. Very uniform. Almost like a defect of some kind. I wouldn't mind trying another brand for my next set of tires. Any suggestions?
I also have a set of JConcept "Bullet" 60mm but I don't like the front hexes. They're very shallow and tight which makes it hard to get the axle hexes seated properly when tightening them. I'm not sure if their 2.2 wheels are the same or not.

Gotta wonder why there is a hex on the front at all. Could just as easily be a disc instead of a hex. I suppose it reduces the possibility of the wheel nut loosening from jarring impacts spinning the rim on the axle.

The JC 2.2 front wheels have a deeper hex and seat better than the 2.4's. The change was made to allow the 2.4" wheels to fit better on the serpent car I think. I think I think I remember some having to trim the wheel to get it to fit properly on the serpent car. I've never had an issue with the JC wheels.

Please help. I'm considering buying a B5M. my last buggy was a b4.2 and loved it, but been out of the hobby for a little while.
I'm thinking either the lite, or the Cham. edition.
I will be racing on turf. (Stock)
Also considering waiting until the laydown tranny comes out.
Any advise or suggestions would be great.

Knurl the face of the disc and knurl the backside of the axle like the JConcepts axles.

Yea the bearing front wheels suck with selection wise . I used them on my Dex210 when I had it . But man do they spin great compared to the hexs up front .
