Hey Paul, what compound tire would I use that is stiffer that gold but I can use on clay? I want my truck to push a little
If you need your truck to push more, then I would suggest maybe a different tread pattern (same compound) in the front and or a setup change. If you sauce, then only sauce the rears. If the tires get better as they wear, then maybe a fresh, taller bar/pin tire in the front will calm it down. We always run the front of the truck 1 or 2mm higher than the rear to help make it easier to drive.

We received the alloy wing mounts, alloy servo mounts, graphite battery straps, and several other B5M hop-ups today. The website should be updated tonight and dealer/dist orders shipping this week.

No, those have been put on hold for changes...stay tuned
A wing shim (alloy or plastic) is recommended so the mounts can't spread under hard impacts.
It says the wing shim is recommended for added durability with the wing mount set, does anyone run it ?

I feel the reason they haven't released the aluminum front and rear hubs for the b5m is because associated has something new in the works. either a new car or and updated one that the current parts wont work on. they showed these parts back during the offroad worlds. there is obviously a reason they have put these parts on hold. maybe PW will enlighten us. im sure he knows alot more than we do. just my thoughts.
