I like the idea of leaving (correct) spring cups on while bleeding. What are you using to shim the slop out of the rear arms that move back and forth?

I used these to shim the rear arms.

you are going to need ball studs and cups. Use your stock 2in tie rods, the tlr cupsd are a little shorter, so using short links will be an issue.
Here are the 10mm studs. I think it is like 10x 10mm studs 2x 8mm studs and 2x 6mm studs

Oh trust me, I get that... I only use fast lap to see if the setup is really any better. I can normally get one or two laps that are a good .2 lower than my average.
Overall, I feel like I do not have to push as hard to make the car faster with the inline layout... I can drive more relaxed and still be as fast when I was really trying to hard before.

A few more changes this week and I will see how it does at the races next week.

Fast lap is nice bragging rights...

I use it more to see if my setup is working... I know my driving is 90% of my problem... I just want that other 10% to be the best it can be.

No, not true. The BB 410R is not made by SKYRC.

All these new ESC's are starting to all look alike! The BB410R sure looks similar to the Orion.

I like my Viper Black Edition esc's, they are unique enough for me and work very well.

The TRIAD EVO now has vented slipper plates and they removed the need for the centering washers. So less parts and rotating mass, plus better cooling on the AVID Evo Triad

The Avid Evo is the ticket, so glad I put one on my car. Mine works so good on my B5M, I'm going to put them on my Durango rides. Another good thing when I do that is all my spur gears will be interchangeable then.

thanks for pointing that out to me. I am looking at their pad tuning guide for the slipper and I'm not really getting what they are talking about with bias. What are they talking about ?
