Excuse the dumb question, this is my first kit build, but...
When building the gearbox, I flipped the whole ball diff assembly. I built the assembly fine, but put it in the gearbox opposite of what's in the manual. So basically the head of the Diff Thrust Bolt is not facing the spur gear side, it's oriented the other way (Bag E, Step 2)
Any downside to that? I'm not seeing anything in the diff that would matter, but thought I'd ask!
Thanks.

Is there a conspiracy against titanium hinge pins for the b5's? Lunsford, JC, ..Bueller?

No 2mm blue washer underneath the ballstud at the rear inner, correct?
1 mm blue washer instead of 2 under the front ballstud at the front shock tower, correct?
Thanks!

I'd consider a slipper upgrade (Schelle or Avid) quite useful, since the stock one is not exactly what I'd call a highlight.

Garodisck pads is the solution!

Never tried these, but I'm really happy with the Schelle Nova...

17.5 Battery?
Based on peoples feedback here and at the track I was going to get a SMC shorty but I wouldnt get it till after Christmas and since the B5M is a gift for my son I need something sooner. I was looking at one of these below since they are also pretty light but I wanted the groups feedback and any other recommendations.
I can't post a link yet but these are sold at A Main.

Indoor Clay Tires for a Cold Temp Medium Grip Track?
What you recommend for a medium grip indoor clay track for 17.5? Dirt webs in the clay compund (Gold) seem popular but this track is in Michigan (Dirt Burners) and they keep the place very cold so I would think maybe a softer compound might be better (Silver)? I was also thinking about the Proline Electrons in 2.4" as well. Sorry for all the questions but I am going to put a order in today and I want to make some good decisions.

Being new to 2wd, I need some tips on braking? Last week running on damp clay, slicks all around was the best tire option, but my brakes were useless! Every time I used them the car would whip around and lock the rear up. Esc brakes are set at 40 in a Tekin RS, radio EPA was at 80 with some expo to slow it down even more. The only thing I didn't get a chance to try was drag brake. Is it just a learning curve with 2wd or could it be somewhere in the setup?
