In mod, the stock slipper is great, IMO. Stock it is not the best tho, a bit heavy, and lack of resolution to the adjustment. I've got a Schelle slipper ordered up for stock.

lol, You cant compare really fast guys to club racers. B5RM just won the JC race in 17.5. What does that mean? He was so much better than everyone else, so the car didn't mater or RM is superior to MM. We can really only buy both car and compare what they do for us. I plan to tune and run both cars in 17.5 and see which one I like best for the tracks I run. For now, I am keeping my 22 as a backup car because parts supply is pretty bad still. Once the parts supply picks up, I plan to get the b5MM and sell off my 22. I plan to run the MM kit with only the durability upgrades (turnbuckles and rear camber block). I am moving to an indoor medium bite track and the MM might just be the ticket.

Yeah I run 8.5 mod cause it's a blast!

Would I even notice things like the "upgraded" Nova slipper or aluminum topshaft with a mod motor ? I'd rather buy tires than 'upgrades' that I'll feel are null or barely noticeable.

The Wild one is a button pusher pure and simple.

He is probably the biggest supporter of TRCR and is a nice guy in person. He has been at this for a LONG time and has had his moments but is the godfather of AE fanboyism.

Don't let him get to you... It was once said "Don't feed the troll!!"

See you soon Geo... Due to my new job and schedule, I may be making my comeback to the lower stock mains!!

Long live the Wild one!!

12" of 12g wet noodle weighed 2g less than 3 feet of the TQ 14g so yeah it made a big difference.

the C and D plates require the C and D inserts also. The C inserts have been in stock recently but D inserts still hard to get

Anyone else have a lot of play in the rear arms, specifically the rear inner hinge pins? Mine had almost 1mm of slop on each side. I made some shims out of factory team ball stud washers (didn't have any plastic washers) but wow that was a lot of play in the rear. Otherwise the kit has been great so far.

My buggy did when I ran the stock arm mounts but as soon as I installed the aluminum d & c arm mounts that slope went away (amazingly) lol.
