Inexperienced drivers may not notice, experience driver can .

Problem is worst when having to much weight towards the rear of car and chassis roll is limited.
OK, I understand. I was battling that this weekend.

*IDEA*

I noticed when installing my motor today in my build, there is a small gap underneath it once tightened down. The chassis would be a great heatsink! I'm sure someone can tool a piece of aluminum to fit between and transfer some of the heat to the chassis to help keep temps down. Putting a "curve" to hug the motor would keep it from moving around.

Please remember this post to whomever makes this and possible sells it, I want a demo

I have a friend that has a machine shop. I having a aluminum top shaft drop shipped to him. He's going to machine off the gear teeth on the top shaft to match the width of the cut idler gear.

I lose a bit more rotating mass and gain just a bit more acceleration and RPM.

Guys,
You don't "need" the tower. You can run the RM tower but must remove the limiters from the front shocks. The RM tower outer hole is the same as the middle on the MM but the RM tower hole location if taller by 1.5 mm. Or you can unscrew the eye of the shock 1 1/2 turns.

For an extra $4, not have to remove the limiters and do it the correct way why not just get it. No need to confuse people.

Incase their shop has the arms and not the tower, thats why. No confusion.

Well wouldn't it actually be better to run RM tower with gullwings and remove limiters to get that little bit more travel out of the shock?

Has anybody changed from a RB6 to B5M and can comment on the difference for better or worse.

It would be best to run the parts that were intended to be ran together...together. I get that if your in a pinch but the M tower should be ran with gullwings.

What is the reason for using the gull tower & arms over using a combination of the other parts that achieve the same geometry ?

So I will assume your car is exactly stock with no aftermarket parts since that is the way it was designed? This forum is to help people with set up and give tips on changes. Just because you don't agree, don't run it. This will help someone out there. Imagine if you ran gull arms and broke your tower. No spare and shop is out. Ruins your day right? If you have the RM tower in your box and know this tip, your day just continued with no frustration.
