Have you tried MIP pucks? Gord Tessmann suggested I try them as the RB6 has a lot of dog-bone plunge which he thinks causes extra friction and fights the suspension compression on-power. I switched over to the MIPs and it was a lot better; the car actually squatted.
Give it a try.

So how will the MIP pucks system eliminate dog bone plunge?

Can someone advise me on bang for your buck weight savings. I'm running stock 17.5 and need to trim some weight. It's pretty obvious that I could easily spend 2-300 dollars in lighter parts so what is the top 3 or so.

Light weight chassis, mip pucks system, titanium screw set.

Ran last weekend with a shorty battery all the way forward with ESC between motor and shorty pack. I was struggling for traction in MM -- B5Ms seemed to be doing well on same conditions. I do not want to go RM because I feel it doesn't fit my driving style -- besides at our track MM is the rage right now.
I am running the latest Kevin King MM setup with new drilled shock location.

What setup would you guys suggest running for a damp-wet track, low-medium bite.
Stock setup feel... egh okay, but hard to drive, and feels like you have drive it fragile. My friend said his car sucks up here, but at the other track it's on rails...
Would you go Zach Rogers setup?
I just put the RB5 arms on and it helped a little, but still not the locked in feeling I'm looking for.

Yes the Lunsford kit would be another good weight saver.

What effect of any does motor size have on a setup? I mostly run stock 17.5 on sticky indoor clay and most setups, even ones with similar track characteristics use 7.5t motors. Just curious if those should get me closer still.

I run 17.5 but have the same setup as the mod guys: oil, springs, ballast etc. A good setup should serve well in both classes in my limited experience.

From what I understand, serious mod guys will typically start off with a 13.5 at a new track to make it easier to dial in their setups before switching to the more aggressive motor... so it shouldn't make much of a difference.
