From what I've heard shipping on the b5m's got pushed back because they accidentally printed the b5 rear motor car on the back of the box so now they need to print stickers to cover the existing box. It will be interesting to see if my box has a sticker on one side of it...

It was really, really good, Wayne. This car has prompted me to enter the mod class for the first time because it just seemed to not like a stock motor and its heavier. That and I just wanted to.
Driving mod for the first time kinda made me nervous and it showed. However the car felt great. No oversteer on or off power. My skills really didnt test it, so I handed it over to the fastest guy there. It was a beautiful thing watching it do what it was built to do - and he really liked it as well.
Great set up, Wayne. Should be posted on the front page for sure. At the least as a much better starting setup, but I think its pretty much the end all setup with only some really advanced tuners making subtle possible changes. I wont be changing a thing. Thank you.
---Took third in first mod race (should probably mention three laps down to the before mentioned racer that drove my car in practice though)

Yes the guys who ran Reedy race are faster now than at the Reedy race.
I'm sure the track is better and they are also running whatever tire and sauce they want. I don't know how much difference that makes but it is not the same as the race. Hartson and the others are running Dirt Webs now instead of Barcodes.
Just a quick check shows fast laps at RR 19.2-19.3, Hartson can run 18.5-18.7 with his rear motor car. Others in mod class are running 19.0-19.2

Well Im almost embarrassed to post this picture. I got to practice a little bit last Friday about 3 packs and in that time I bent a shock shaft and didn't realize it. Car actually felt good got my lap times pretty close to where I was at with my Centro. I know I took a couple hits from a rookie driving a sct but nothing out of the ordinary. My pistons I ordered came in toady so I was going to install them tell I found this.
Since I was running with it bent could it have damaged the shock body?

Seeing where the bend is you might want to double check everything from the arm mount to the wheel. That is a lot of deflection high up on the shaft. We can only assume it was the rookie sct but for humorous reasons I must include my other options: Wall, steel pool, street curb, car tire, freak accident dealing with material frequency/mitachlorians/sith force.
