Mine is 1540 with a Tekin RS gen2, savox 1258, rx472, and a turnigy shorty. My mods include a Schelle slipper, exotec top shaft and JC motor plate. I'm still running the stock turnbuckles.

Gear Diff Question
So I built the gear diff for the b5m and it seemed to be smooth... When I put it into the tranny and put in the top shaft and the idler gears without putting the other half of the case on it feels smooth as silk... As soon as I put the other side of the tranny case on, I get a bump in the roataion... like a pinched bearing, but all the bearings are smooth as silk...
Should it be smooth as butter or does it need to be broken in?
Help!!

I was looking for information on what the difference in new firmware / upgrade was but it doesn't show anywhere. Feels really slow and times confirmed. Last night was ugly, thought I had a 21.5. Going to drop back and check times. New to Orion so playing with it. Any luck with mod firmware in B5m or better to stick with stock firmware for stock?

2) The gears will certainly break in. Spin it by hand after a few packs and I bet it's butter.

if you have some spare bearings might not be a bad idea to swap em out just to see, even though you said yours were smooth. Capt. suggestions is a great one as well. Sometimes gears just need to be run for a min and then they free up.

- forward/brake/-zero timing
On the DRRS punch setting
- set it to 9
Everything else you leave as is.

So I guess what I am say is that if you turn the spur really slow, it is smooth until you hit the spot where there are two or three spots (I would say like clicks or teeth on the spur) where it is not smooth.
If you grab the slipper clutch nut and spin it from there, it is smooth and you can barely feel the "clicks" at all... Almost like there is a mesh of the geras that needs to be broken in.
It is not the whole rotation of the spur that is "clicky" at all, just that one little spot in the system...
Only way I could explain it. I am a rookie!!
Thanks!

Weight difference between B5 and B5M
Is there a big difference in weight between the B5 and the B5M? Just picked up a B5 and noted how light it is compared to my Schumacher SV2 and was wondering if the B5M was heavier with the aluminum chassis.
Running 17.5, the SV2 is a bit too heavy to make short run up jumps. Rotates awesome and is very planted but needs more motor to make it shine.
