Great thread. Hope this isn't a dumb question. I'm looking to build/purchase a b5m but i see the 'lite' version will be out shortly. the lite version appears to be the current model plus the common upgrades noted on here (turnbuckles, alum rear camber, etc). the new version will be $280. do you guys think the current version, which can be had online for about $260, will come down in price and then get those upgrades as needed? just not sure to when to buy. the current version plus the cost of those upgrades will certainly exceed $280.
Look around for a 250+ off discount. Losiparts house, tower, and amain have them every month. I preordered the "lite" with $30 off and free shippping.
Total for the "lite" was 250 shipped.

Hey
It's hard to come into a 840 page thread with my question here, I hope you all don't mind the update email, my question is this: Is the B5m plastic material stronger than the b4.0 stuff? If so, any idea how much?
Thanks!
(this doesn't mean I will look to upgrade, I just heard the materials may be better now)...

I posted a video on another post debating mm3 vs mm4 but it didn't seem to catch on.
This is what I wrote if it can be of any interest to somebody here as it was done on my b5m:
"I'd say it's negligible.(about mm3 vs mm4)
Sorry I just did this video for your question. The quality is crap and it's loud (turn the volume down a bit for the squeal of the motor):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DATXwtVJoSY
The car is on water not touching anything else. The test speaks for itself.
I tried several axis. I can feel resistance (very light) on the vertical axis with no rotation direction preference but pretty much none one the other two.
Certainly no movements on it's own. So changing direction shouldn't make any odds or to me at least it's negligible.
I'm open to any theory/counter theory as I once contemplated the idea too."

exactly what I was thinking, the problem is, my track only runs mod and is well, an 1/8th scale track, so I'm gonna need a mod motor
edit: my bad I assumed the stock spec was a stock only esc, but it's not! Thanks for the suggestion btw

I think that was the point he was trying to make. If you remove the tires from the equation the rest of the rotation of the drive train makes next to no difference.

He was trying to say that 3 and 4 gear made little to no difference but then he tested it without one of the critical items of the equation. Making this experiment useless.

it has a 5.5 turn limit. you will be fine
