Nope. Not saying that. On power steering is mainly a function of rear spring selection, rear roll center, and front droop. Caster can play a role as well, but the others are much larger. I also got more on power steering from running less trailing axle (2mm) and doing the other adjustments that go with it.
I can out turn 4wds with this car on power in our sweeper corner to the straight. I have no idea where people are getting push from.

I agree. This car has plenty of steering

Taper/Flat
I had the taper/flat conversation with Kody the other night, he boiled it down to tapers are more responsive versus flat. So if you need more rebound go with the taper down. I have run 1.4x3 tapers on my B4.x for a year now and everyone that drives it comments on how plush it is.

For those going to cactus and need a car. I may have one for sale. I will know more tomorrow by 5pm est. If I do have the kit like the shop has said. My voicemail just said b5....so I'm assuming its my mid car since I didn't order a rear. It will be for sale only to those with proof they are going to cactus to race. I will post here if I do indeed have the kit and I will accept pms from that time. Just trying to help some people out. Plain and simple. Not like some others who have 3 and like to gloat.

I finally got bit by the AE quality check (or lack there of). My mid motor kit was missing one of the 91400 caster blocks. Every time anyone said they were missing parts from their kit, I always assumed that they just lost the part and it was really not an AE issue. Now I know. Oh well, I am sure when I call in the morning they will take care of it for me but no racing it this week.

Why do people recommend a certain build(mm vs rm) for others. From my experience, I loved MM, until I got my B5r. It is a great car and when set up correctly, it rails 180's, sweepers, basically all the different styles of turning I have thrown at this car in 3 weeks. My bud bought a MM and my RM is hanging right there with him. I think for Stock class, it's a wash. Pick off drivers style, not preference of the masses. Mod might be better off with mm, however my other bud likes his B5r better than his Centro
