Anyone wanna post a pic of their electronics set up? I'm about to install some but want to see if anyone got creative with the limited space on the chassis.

If that's the case, ditch the screws and save another 100+ gnat's hairs!

Plenty of space unless you're running an RX8 or HUGE receiver.
Heres my arrangement, mid sized receiver and pretty big Orion ESC. Plenty of room.

Plenty of room. I cut the bracing behind the servo and in front of the battery.

Here's my setup. I need to trim some wires that are tucked away right now, but everything fits well. My transponder will go under the steering rack, and I may trim the top plate cross sections.

Looking good! This is my first car in a long time so I went a little more budget for right now. I got the Hobbywing Xerun 17.5 Justock Combo and a Spectrum DX4C with the SR410 receiver. I'm also going to throw in a Hitech Digital Servo I had lying around. It's not complete yet but I'll post a few pics when it is. I do need to get my hands on a soldering iron... going to have to practice too... it's been a really long time since I've done it.

Pull them out and peel the tires off.
Open all the windows and clear out the smell.
Get correct tires/rims and start over

(cheaper option)
Or... try them out and see if they work for you. Who knows
Ive done this successully; I put the tires in aluminum foil so they wouldnt burn , and threw them into the toaster oven @ 400 for ten mins.

the foil also helps with the smell; keep the aluminum foil wrap on and take the tires outside/to the garage to unwrap them. the glue yellows with the heat, you can use a qtip soaked in acetone to clean up any excess glue after it cools/dries

The b5m ce is awesome! Raced mine for the first time tonight only the second time ever driving it and first time racing a buggy and took 2nd in the b main. The car felt great I used the setup sheet that came with it. I even took 1st in sct b main with my pro2 which was a big deal for me. I have never one a b main, hopefully I can make an a main next week.

Looks like the CE upgrade kit will cost $90 mapp price.

Sounds like the B5mCE kit for $340 plus amain/tower coupon was a really good deal.
