Just installed the B5 plastic caps in my car. Idk if this has been posted but they make the shock length 1mm shorter then when using the stock ball stud cap. So lengthen your shocks to get the same droop.

Did anyone ever get pictures with the serpent caps? I've been having a lot of cap pop issues and would like to get it wrapped up until the HB caps come out... Unless were expecting them in a week or two.

For chassis protectors, check out Stickit1 racing, they have the D413 size. You only need to trim front and rear piece off

Nick Vasquez and I have been doing some heavy testing. (More him) but we realized it's very easy to drill the 2 hole pistons to big. It took me 3 tries to get it right, a pilot hole with a number 55 is a must. And be very careful when drilling final hole, it's amazing the difference in the car when the holes are just slightly big. I was able to drop 5 wt in each end and it lands way better and is way more stabil

I don't drill my own pistons for this very reason. 1.6 and 1.7mm holes ... going to have to be SUPER precise. Even a little bit of wobble in your drill and they're going to be off.

Are the plans for HB to make 2x1.6 and 2x1.7 pistons? Esp seeing as their team driver has been using pistons with that hole setup

I checked my car yesterday to see if I had them correct and I didn't but it drove great and then put them how they were supposed to be and it was even better. Thanks for the clarification!!

Stripped another spur gear in mine yesterday. Has anyone tried dropping to 60,000 in the center diff to see if this helps alleviate the problem? I caught it right when it happened and I had only lost about 7-10 teeth initially. Tells me this is happening either on hard acceleration, or jolt to the spur on landing with brake on

my spur is holding up great with a 6.5 on high bite. I land on the gas and brake all the time. maybe I am just lucky

I had the chance to run mine for the first time this weekend and after the day of racing...i noticed that the spur had a little wear on the motor side. After looking at the situation...i feel the motor mount needs a 3rd screw in it to prevent it from twisting under acceleration. I had no failures and the car handled great.

Which brand and material type pinions are you guys using? Aluminum pinions and Robinson racing steel pinions seem to wear out fast on this car. I've found losi/TLR harden steel pinions to mesh and wear the best. I'm a little over 50 runs on my stock spur. I'm also using cap screws on the motor mount instead of button heads.

I've seen the set screw leave witness marks with pinions below 23T when the spur/pinion alignment is off.
