Yeah, that's because everyone should know it's a .5 metric washer. We only use mm on these cars.

To some extent, it keeps us moderator's and those who keep to themselves entertained.

IMO AE threads are the most entertaining. Some of that comes at the expense of WC, lol. But seriously, the AE guys can argue about anything.

I have some grey rears coming so that'll be next . Then the shortening if the link . Like I said its drivable now but not as hard as I want it to be. Others are def quicker through the turns with there b4s.

Tried the x-rings in my shocks. Just got my B5M built last night. They are such a great fit. Just wanted to let people know that I think it's worth the extra money. Overall the tolerences on this shock are much better. I was surprised to see that it was noticeable during assembly. I did a total rebuild on my B4.2 big bores last week and built my B5RM the week before.

I am very impressed with the improved quality and am not really sure what issues people are having with them. I was just about to outfit my 4 AE cars/trucks with Kyosho shocks before I bout my B5RM. I was still tossing the idea around after building it. Then I tried the x-rings. Now I think I'm gonna run them for a while before I make up my mind. I think I will end up sticking with the AE shocks in the end tho.

Just my 2 cents

Also on last post to you , please excuse me when I suggested to have someone test your ride.
Did not intend to sound like you needed more experience, rather when ever I get stumped with a problem having someone else's opinion and getting to drive other cars helps bring a new view . Sometimes the other car does not even drive as well as your own and this helps you buckle down on driving instead of searching for a solution that is not even going to help.

Nice the hubs I'll try that too. I hear you as far as letting someone else try my car. That's usually my very last option when I've exhausted my ideas and need some advice. As far as trying someone else's . For so e reason it's very rare I find one that's really good for my style. But hey anythings worth a shot . Thanks Cherry.

I have the same charger. Do you know if there's any way to disable the extremely annoying beep song it plays when a battery is done charging? I may cut the wire to the speaker if not.
