Tech Regular
Heavier springs in the rear is one way.

Was about to order all the alunimum goodies, but then got thinking.. Are they really needed for the lite car?
Was getting:
Hubs
Steering Rack
Arm Mounts
Front Hinge Pins
Was thinking of just getting the Arm mounts instead now. Saved me about $100.

B5m Lite to B5m Conversion
Hey guys, if I have a B5m Lite and I want to convert it to the 4 gears B5m, anyone knows what are the part needed and approximately how much they cost? Thanks!
this is the way I look at it. The Lite comes with Ti turnbuckles, alum rear camber block, alum top shaft, FT bearings, 2 pad slipper (not great) and alum front axles. Plus the new chassis of course. From an economics stand point, buying the 4 gear parts is pretty cheap. "If" you really dont want the lite chassis....sell it on ebay and buy the heavier chassis. because that chassis WILL be in demand and will sell for top dollar. When you go indoors and race on carpet, you might want that 3 gear for tuning. You can always try the MM outdoors. Worst case, it sucks and you convert to rear. And use the MM for carpet season.

So on this, did they just cut out a hole in the waterfall, and shoegoo it in?
Thats just the LPR fan that comes with the ESC isn't it?

You will just need a gear case and two bearings. You can use your motor plate and countersink it on the other side. It should be around 15 bucks. If you buy the 4 gear motor plate it is about $25

Hey folks, got another question...
This past week I was racing my B5M for the first time. I bought it used and it included (among other things) the AE aluminum steering rack. This guy:
Well, the two buttonhead screws that come up from underneath (through the plastic steering rack) backed out. So I installed some replacement screws, but as you might suspect as I tightened the screws down, the steering got bound up. I came up with a make shift solution using a small washer on the outside and some Loctite on the threads, but I'm wondering if I lost some parts when the screws backed out.
What is the preferred method to secure the steering rack to the bellcranks without inducing any bind?
Any help would be much appreciated!

I'd suggest consulting the manual to make sure you have the necessary parts for the steering rack.

So what are those of you with aluminum bellcranks doing to address this?
Thanks in advance!
