Hi guys, been searching with no luck. Question is, Has anyone successfully adapted a B6 laydown Trans to a T5m?? Thanks.

Just use the one from shapeways, works great

B6 stuff doesn't bolt on to the 5 series. There are other ways to get a laydown transmission in your truck.

Just don't trust 3d printed ones, used the first Redworks on my b5m and it didn't last long, started skipping gears. Got the WWHD after that and it was rock solid, but can't find another one anywhere.

Know it would not be a direct bolt on, but was just wondering if it was possible.

Been running the shapeways for a bit now with no issues. We actually have a few people running them at my local track. Not one issue thus far.

Well, considering it's half the price of the whole truck. I would hope it works well! :O

What is a good loose track set up? Weather will be cool (probably air temp of 50-55), track will be hard packed. Tires are holeshot m4. Rear traction is at a premium. Have aluminum rear hubs, kashima shocks, schelle hangers and inserts for the rear suspension.

Anyone with a good starting set up for a low traction, smooth to bumpy track?

Just got back into ST and picked one of these up. Any of advice for add on's/ upgrades? And also any good setup advice for running on carpet? Thanks in advance.

Have any of you found that the new truck springs are too stiff for indoor medium bite clay? I raced Saturday and my truck was a handful. I just went back to the stock springs to see how it feels for this week.

The regular springs always give a more comfortable feel. I have no trouble running the newer truck springs in any indoor track regardless of grip. The only time the don't feel good is in bumpy conditions, I can't run them outdoors.

Hello,

I was at the RC store and the sales guy insisted that the SC 2.2/3.0 hole shots tires are the right wheel for the T5M. When I got home and compared them to the current tires on the truck they are obviously narrower and larger in diameter than the tires on the truck. The store is almost an hour away so returning them is unlikely.

Can I run SC tires on a T5M? What would the offset have to be as they are narrower than the stock tires?

You technically *could* run them but I would suspect the handling would be whacky to say the least.

With enough dremel work, I'm sure you could make anything work. Those are the wrong wheels and tires. Without going in to the offset the problem you will have is the larger diameter will mess with your gearing. I recommend you take them back and don't ask that guy for anything anymore.
