If you're going to go so far as buy measuring tools, you may as well buy set up wheels too. Off road tires are far from true and gluing them up makes things worse. Spin them once and set Your toe, spin them again and everything looks out of whack. That goes for camber and toe.

I use the RPM toe-in gauge, with practice it's easy to use ...and cheap.

B5 to B5M conversion kit parts list
 

I'm looking for a complete parts list of the #91539 kit (B5 to B5M) Any clues? I already spend a lot of time in my search, still can't find any list with Associated parts #

Just finished my b5m, 6.5 turn goodness, don't mind my custom battery holder lol :sweat:

I.D.?
 

Can anybody I.D. this spur\slipper? Came with a roller I bought. I'll need a smaller spur for 17.5 but I'd this format is going to be rare, I may swap to the stock pads.

Isn't that the stock V2 vented stuff? I swapped mine out for a schelle losi top shaft. It's lighter and has a smaller spring/nut. Also use a 72T losi spur and pads

I ran the AE VTS slipper briefly and then I picked up the RD VTS slipper. I looked at the Schelle and Avid but, it looked like you had to use their proprietary spur gears. I have the b5m, t5m and sc5m and already had a stock pile of AE spur gears in a variety of sized. So, I put the RD in my stock 17.5 b5m. I was pretty happy with it so, I picked up another one and about to put it in my sc5m mod sct. I run my 17.5 b5m with 69/33 and my stock t5m had 72/32. The t5m has the AE VTS slipper and seems to do just fine as well.

I think the plates and spring are, but I don't know what the spur gear and pads are.

It looks like Kyosho stuff.

IT sure does. I'll just get AE pads and a new spur since that stuff is available everywhere.

Question from a newbie. Picked up a B5M and need wheels and tires. Gonna ask at the local track to find out where to start on tire but whats up with the wheels? I see the tires only say 2.2 but I see wheels 2.2 and 2.4. Why 2 different sizes and what difference does it make?

Well, the 2.4" wheels & tires are a newer idea, an attempt to reduce the tire sidewall, which could be helpful in certain surface/grip conditions(I think mainly in smooth track/higher grip conditions). But the older 2.2 wheels & tires are still more popular, I believe, more forgiving on most surfaces. But as to which is best for you, that's more of a question you should ask the fast guys at the track you intend to run it on(they'll know MUCH better than any of us can, unless some of us have raced on that track).....:cool:

Last night I replaced all the bearings, arms, rebuilt shocks with the x ring kit, rebuilt my diff and slipper, and threw a few new bling parts on as well as sprayed a new body (poorly) and cleaned up my wiring and added a fresh v10 10.5 motor. She's still got one more season in her before I replace her.

I think the paint looks great. Better than I can do!

I have a B5M FL that I was going to run mod with. A friend of mine is going to run on a smallish/medium carpet track that runs only 17.5 class and I'm now going to do that with him instead. Getting either a Schuurspeed or Fantom motor. Anyone kind enough to suggest a ballpark pinion/spur to start with? Greatly appreciate any suggestions.
