lol... you guys are funny..

its fun having a cool car and if you feel that taking weight off makes you way faster then I am all for it.

but guys like cherry and bob and wildcat also have points.. a little weight especially when a car is balanced and a good setup can also be fast.. or even faster .. if the weight settles the car down and adds just a little traction going into and thru and out of a corner.. even if its just 1/4 a second per corner.. with an average track having 8-12 corners you may find yourself going 2-3 seconds a lap faster :-)

having a car that's set up to your liking, being able to drive fast without crashing and also learning how to preload to clear jumps like triples coming out of a corner that others find hard to do are all important as well. wont matter what your car weighs if you crash 3-4 times in a race.

point is.. do what you like and have fun doing it.. ;-)

Take it easy, guys!

Remember, if there is somebody you are tired of seeing, use the ignore feature. Plain and simple. I am all for calling somebody out, but lets do it in a productive manner, within the rules.

Ok, back to the B5m.

So, just placed an order for the Schelle Nova slipper. I do hope those spur gears are quiet - I just love a quiet car and the AE spurs seem to be a bit noisy compared to TLR spurs. For obvious reasons my 22-4 is nearly silent.

This car seems super quiet. I agree my tlr Is a bit quieter. Not like motocross where you need to here your bike (well I don't think so haha)

Anyone run a B5M on a carpet off-road track? Any comparisons to the rear motor B5?

We just started some carpet off-road in our area. We're running on Ozite carpet with small jumps. The traction is extremely high, unlike anything I have ever experienced on dirt...

Thinking this might suit the B5M.

Thoughts?

Pretty close. Just some minor improvements and better spur gear material.

I really have a difficult time with the term "Carpet Off-road"

i heard that kurt as the rights to the triad,which he left avid and started his new company. So i believe its more or less when avid will stop selling the triad
