So this last summer series I ran two cars. My Tekno 410.3 and my Stock Class AE B5M. The B5M was second hand, I bought it from a random, it was pre-built (poorly) and I took several weekends to get it dialed. Shout out to AE driver Will Brinton. When we finally got the buggy to a good sweet spot, I was running faster laps thank my Tekno truck. I've determined that Pro 4 SCT is just not for me, I had an absolute BLAST running my B5M. Now my skill is intermediate. As a matter of fact, my best race is bumping from the lowest main with my B5 to the next race BUT that's due to lack of track time (which is changing.)
So I've decided to sell my truck and eventually my B5, I'm going to upgrade to the B6D and have some fun with it. I'm not planning on running it full factory, I'm going to hit the aftermarket vendors. I don't want to make a shelf queen, I want to play around with parts and make it a fast car from the get go. I get it that running stock is about the car setup, consistency, and being a decent driver, and that takes practice but I'm not against spending some money in the beginning.
So here's my thoughts on items I'm planning on using with my B6D.
Orion VST Lightweight 17.5
Lunsford Titanium Screw Set/Turbuckles/Ball studs
Exotek Titanium front Axles
Exotek Slipper Eliminator
Avid Ceramic Bearings
MIP 17.5 Puck System
That's my list and I'm open to other suggestions. Is it going to cost money? Yes. Is all this weight reduction going to be wasted on my skill level of driving? For now. But this is about fun.
Thanks for your time.
