every says that. Also if you drive a kyosho or 22, u feel a stiffer and more direct steering feel, to me it felt notchy but I'm sure when you get used to it, it will work out better. The springs are very very good, much better then loss bbs. I have some triples at my track which are very hard and are built off, weird angles and can throw your car upside quick. these made my car just fly through there.

^This. The RB5 is like a super plush B4. Not to my liking...not "sharp enough" if that makes sense.

Yah. Guess I'm just beginning to get a bit frustrated with my SP2. I keep getting it more and more dialed but I think its odd that I have to keep putting more and mroe weight in the nose! I'm at 3 of those 7oz or gram weights and its much better but I keep wondering whether i could just run with a stock AE, Losi, or Durango and have more steering and less push.

People at my track seem to run everythign and some have got their SP2's dialed so it's not that the car cannot be made to be dialed it's some combo of me and the car.

4 seconds if you used the AVID rear A/C carbon towers, new Satellite Rims, aluminum bellcranks and aluminum hexes...but the springs will do for now.

Well finally pulled the trigger and decided to give 2wd buggy another shot. Sold my FT B4 awhile back and stayed with sct's............. Hopefully with the new world's kit and a few upgrades here and there I'll have better luck this time......... Gonna have to do quite a bit of reading on here to catch up and find all the tips I can get......

Have the bellcranks, we'll call it 2.5

For the avid hexs, is anyone using spacers between the outer bearing and drive pin? Also is anyone using the e clip that comes with the axles? I'm having issues with mine.

1 spacer in front, 2 in rear. I am not using the c-clip in any of my 3 buggies.

I have seen people anodize there turnbuckles gold, I'm guessing because Ryan Cavalieri does it but has anyone anodized that black?

In the front? Yes, and it's hyper important - you'll destroy the bearings without it.

That explains everything I replaced bearings every single qualifier and before the main.

If it doesn't look exactly like this, and go together exactly like this, you'll be likely to have that problem:
