It would be a few bucks more on top of the conversion but you should definitely consider the 3 gear transmission setup. The performance of the 3 gear is excellent, I've never driven a 2wd buggy that feels as good as my B5M does.

Has anyone ever tried installing rubber grommets in their wing? I went to the hardware store this morning looking for wing mounting ideas and this is what I came up with. I'm using the original wing mount but filed the posts down past the pin-holes and drilled the posts to accept a 3mm screw. Seems very solid, yet forgiving.

your right for the price you cannot go wrong! Then ill have a choice.

is there a difference in handling between 25 degrees bulkhead+5 caster block insert and 30 degrees bulkhead and 0 caster block?
Overall angle is the same.

but one of the newer manuals (eg B5M lite) as some info in the original manual is outdated

I'm running the AC RC Gear 3 gear LCG with the fan waterfall and I'm wondering if anyone knows which bodies fit? I know the JConcepts Finisher fits, because that is what I am running, but I need a new body. I'm wondering if the Proline Predator or the JConcepts S2 Worlds will fit with enough clearance for a 10mm thick fan on the LCG waterfall.

Hey guys,
Just thought I'd overshare on the Internet as is the trend these days.
This is my current incarnation of my Buggy I race down here in OZ in the stock 17.5t class. Such a great car to drive, I've only been doing this for 4 months and I love the hobby and this buggy, who I've named Betty. I got her 2nd hand with a few goodies on her.
I've the Schuurspeed 17.5t motor, turning a Exotek eliminator with the flite spur gear.i updated to a 3-gear transmission with some avid aura bearings in the case. As you can see I'm using the Prime waterfall brace so that I can run the WTF windy fan which I modded by filing an edge and notching for the battery brace.. This is a great setup it means I can practice with her for extended runs without worrying about motor temperatures. She wears FT rear alloy hubs and jconcepts ti front axles, connected to the FT alloy steering bellcranks then to a Sävox 1257. I've trimmed all her cables to keep it neat, weighs in at race weight 1530g with a brass c block. Too twitchy at minimum.
RC racing is such a buzz, though too addictive for me as I've become a RC gear head. I love the goodies, and justify every purchase with either weight savings (not super important I've learnt) or most importantly reliability. For me now though "Betty is as upgraded as she will get. I just keep her clean & tidy and maintain her when needed. I've had 2 glitches in 4months of weekly racing, ripped out a rear camber ballstud, when hit on a fast sweeper. Lost a front ballstud nut somehow, nylock must have worn I'm guessing. Tough car.
I use Ray Munday's setups, they are spot on(he races at my track so they are well suited, hah! Thanks Ray) http://www.rctech.net/forum/attachme...day-201503.pdf
It's all about driving, driving, driving now. Learnt a lot about the b5m reading this thread, so to all that have contributed a big thanks loving my RC time. I'm getting quicker too. With limited drive time I only get to the track on race days I'm concentrating hard on improving and am getting closer to the leaders every week.
RC racing has been a saving grace for me after a tough year, I don't know where I'd be without it. Is has truly been a great pastime I've turned to when things are tough. Researching, reading, wrenching, driving & the guys at all the tracks are wonderful people. Over share complete.

Some of the best people are the lhs employees and others at the track, everyone is always willing to help. It's an awesome community!

Just saw that Amain has a limited number of B5M Champion Edition available if anyone was still looking for one.
