Thinking about the b5m. Anything I need to order to get it race ready? Extra parts or upgrades?

Also... the stock slipper is less than ideal... so you may eventually look at changing your slipper depending on class/power level.

This will require two completely different setups, and the car will drive night and day differently on those two different tracks. Practicing on one will not help much for being competitive on the other.

It messes me up. Trigger pull and timing are off. Plus for my track, the setups are different. We stiffen up the car for mod, because there is so much traction, that at high speeds you want less weight transfer opposed to running a softer car. But mostly, mod and stock timing is different. I have given my stock car to mod guys before and they always struggle with trigger pull and timing. And they are too used to instant power. I was running 4wd buggy and stock buggy and it just messed me up too much when the classes were back to bad. I ran mod buggy and 4wd buggy this week and it was a much better transition.

Lightweight chart
I know that I have seen it somewhere before. A chart that has both stock and lightweight parts with the weight savings. If some could help that would be great thanks

I would also recommend the aluminum rear camber block (Schelle or AE), the plastic is known to break easily! Plus Schelle ceramic oiled gearbox bearings, the stock bearings are crap. +1 on the slipper, it is very bad!

Items to pick up while building the car that will make your experience much more enjoyable.
-Schelle or Avid Slipper
-Lunsford, JConcepts, or FT Turnbuckles
-Complete bearing set because the kit ones are not so great
-Aluminum rear camber block
-also pick yourself up a B5R set of front arms and tower to give a whirl for different steering characteristics.

Has anyone on here tried that latest electronics setup pic?
What does it do? Must be decent if so many people with the 2.0 do it.

Two weeks ago I got a 10/7:19 this past weekend I got a 11/7:23.
Whats weird is I felt like I was slower all day. Hero lap was also half a second slower...

I have to laugh really.
I'm fairly new to rc and what really cracks me up is that there is always so much excitement / hype about a new buggy being released and companies professing about how great it is but the first thing people do upon delivery is replace 80% of the parts because the stock options are rubbish.
At what point does a b5m cease becoming a b5m?

Here are a couple pictures of the layout I posted yesterday... I know I only have a couple posts on this site, so I dont expect people to trust me like they do with others on here, but I thought I would share what is working for me.

The B5M works well out of the box. People go overboard with mods because someone told them they are nessesary (stock racers). Some folks just like to accessorize and some are always looking for more and like to tinker. If you can run perfect lines without crashing for 6 minutes, then you don't need any options. Some parts like the flat arms/tower are just a tuning option to smooth out the steering mid-corner; I know lots of folks the still run the full arms. Don't go overboard with options. Work on your racing line and consistency.
