Those things are settled. The Orion R10 is the best, everyone needs 90C shorties, and deans only add extra weight!

I have several SMC packs. I like them. Gens Ace packs suck....at least I've never had any luck with them. I've been buying SMCs for a several years, even when they were $100+ each.

WHA!??? You bought an AE Rob? Excuse me whilst I pick myself up from the floor.

I have mine built, but waiting for the servo and motor to arrive. Should be here by the time I get back from Motorama. I'm going to shake it down at McCullough's the following week. Not sure what to expect, because my Centro is soo damn good! If the B5 isn't as good as my centro on the high grip clay, then I'll be running the rear motor outdoors.

I chopped up my spare all white centro body and made it fit the B5 until my guy paints the new body. Actually doesn't look or fit bad at all.

I'm really liking these big bore shocks over the previous version. The new clear plastic gaskets for the bleeder screws are soo much better than those damn o-rings I could never keep in place. And if the slightly larger diameter shock shafts keep them from leaking, I'll really be happy. The transmission is much beefier than the previous version and the way it's assembled with the motor plate will be much much easier to work on.

The only issue I encountered with my build was a split rod end on the shock shaft. It must have split when I pressed in the pivot ball. Luckily I had a bunch of spares on hand.

Anyone run on a low bite outdoor track, or have any suggestions on setup? Thank you.
