Man, I'm still on the plastic one that came with my b5m conversion, and I ran that thing for months on an 1/8 scale outdoor track. Do people actually break the stock plastic one? I even dead sailored a few times due to wind outside.
Just curious. Not trying to be incredulous here, but I think I've only seen it happen to one person at our track, and people used to rip them out of the b4 camber standoff all the time. To me, it seems that they really got that part right on the b5m and everybody just upgrades it anyway.

Has anyone had any problems with their steering binding from the steering bellcrank brace being too tight? (part #91391)

Just wanted to point out that this is super important. The first batch of aluminum steering racks that went out did not include the crush washer and it resulted in a gritty feel in the steering rack. If you got one of the first batch just email AE and they'll send you a replacement.
And to be clear, you put that little washer in between the two bearings on the rack. It's just like the crush washer that goes between the bearings in the front steering blocks.

Could someone please help me out with mod motor choice for indoor carpet racing? This may sound odd but I would like to match the throttle feel of my B5M with my D413, running a Tekin 6.5, as much as possible.
I've got a Tekin RS in it so I can go down to a 8.5 turn but that seems like it would feel more powerful in the 2WD than the 6.5 in my 4WD. I'm thinking maybe a 9.5 or 10.5 and play with pinions and ESC settings to get them close.
Any thoughts or advice though?

This was my temporary hack. I didn't have longer turnbuckles and didnt have enough threads in the cups. Only made it a few laps before the threads popped out unfortunately.

A lot of different companies make the same aftermarket parts for the B5M, but I was looking for thoughts on who makes the best.
I have been getting all Associated stuff (rear hubs, clamping hexes, pin brace, etc, etc...) and it seems good to me, very nice fit and finish and the price is good too...
Any input?
