Indoor clay.. medium to medium high grip. Moist but not wet, hard pack with some dust and loose spots. Most race days, the first heat or 2 are small pin ( hole shots, gridirons, impacts, hybrids) 2-3 qual you can run bar styles but have to mind the rear end and by the main, all bar style is what I run.

For her, she has been running JC Hybrids and Reflex in soft and super soft compounds and they are working really well. She is still a little jerky on the throttle but is getting smoother every time we go.

Thanks KC. Did you see the post about the B5 balls and cups in the 44.3 thread?

I wouldn't buy any brass just yet. Run the car and see how feels. If you feel it needs weight than add it. Look what guys are running around you. A properly set up B5M shouldn't need a ton of weight added (Its not a tlr where u need a brick sitting on it :P ).

Can anyone tell me the weight difference between the stock plastic front bulkhead and the AE brand aluminum bulkhead? I know the alum. one is 15g but not sure on the plastic one. Looking for a small amount of additional weight but not the brass piece

ThunderKen

I think it's 8g. I'm running plastic bulkhead with the 15g weight. Seemed to really help my cornering.

Might try that. I'm running stock buggy and recently switched from square pack to shorty because the buggy is faster and lap times are better but now it's pushing a little in the corners.

I weighed my 25 degree plastic bulkhead, 5.75g.

Most people at my track are running Yokomo, Kyosho and some others. I think there are 2 AE's in 2wd buggy. That's another reason I went with it.

Im coming from a 22, so adding weight to make it work was the norm. Glad to see a car that doesn't need $100 in fake gold to work. Thanks

Thank you! An additional 10g should be just what I need

Any news on when the JConcepts front metal hubs will be out?

Maxime

Don't know if this has been asked before...

What is the difference between the B5M Team kit rear arms, and the rear arms from the factory Lite kit? ( PN 91412 vs 91528 ).

Thank you!

Not quite sure, they may be the rear motor arms most were putting on the B5M to move the rear hubs forward?
That's it PN91412 is the B5 rear motor rear arms.

Maxime

Yes they are labeled as B5 rear arms in the Factory Lite manual. What is the benefits of one vs the other?

The factory lite also contains B5 front arms. The rear arms shorten the weelbase and the B5 front arms are flat as opposed to gullwing.

Like I said above they give the ability to move the rear hubs 2mm more forward, tends to give the car a lil more rear traction. Most people were doing this along with the rear motor front arms (flat) and front tower which are also included in the lite kit.
