Curious if anyone has had any experience with the following shorty lipo. I hear the SMC packs are great, but they aren't due for another month

Other suggestions welcome.

Orion 4500 100c pack is a good pack also. You can get them for 60 at stormer

There is one at the track I race at. Looks really good. Problem: the car comes in underweight. My pit buddy drove it and he said it is much more forgiving than his stock B5m. My 2 cents.

Default measuring ride height

Where do you take that measurement from? With the gullwing it is difficult to see flat and level.

Make a horizontal line between the inner and outer hingepins if looking for a true "arms level" setting with them

Anyone had problems with bent hinge pins?

Was rebuilding my car, and noticed that my rear hinge pins (the one is very very slightly bent) but the other is diffidently bent. Same with shock shaft (opposite side)... Little irritated but guess it's my own fault.

Does anyone know how much weight a Ti screw kit will take off the chassis? or should I go for the Team aluminium kit?

Seems like a worthy weight saving! Esp if I'm going to try use a brass front hinge block.

Edit: is it actually work getting the brass block to improve the steering and stop the car from pushing? I've gotten used to my MM Firebolt and trying to tune the RM B5 to see if I can get similar lap times on medium hard pack.
