I personally dont mind them... Have gotten used to them. If anything they have made me a better driver. It wasnt until i tried a silky smooth hobbywing then I realized im missing out...

My buddy built the kit. I added the electronics, hopups, and set it up. I used Castle 4mm bullets. Last year in the Winter, I had trouble removing the flat style bullets. These are much easier, but still stuck in their pretty good. The trakpower shorty got some nice punch. I am planning on scooting that battery all the way forward. Schelle stand offs, V2 shock caps, Jconcept hexes...Waiting on Jconcepts Pin Brace, and clamp style axles...

New to 1/10 Buggies but not Bashers. Every basher I have owned I have always taken apart their front and rear diffs and packed them with marine grease. Mostly to water proof/resist but also to keep everything well greased and free of dirt and grim in my bearings and gears.
Now to my question: should this be done while building my new B5?

Unless you bought the gear diff separate, the B5 comes with a ball diff. I would just use the diff lube that is included in the kit when building the diff. Even if you bought the gear diff, I still wouldn't put grease in it. You won't get enough diff action and the car will probably go from understeer to snap oversteer on you (won't turn until a rear wheel breaks loose, then it does a 180). I would put diff oil in the gear diff, if you bought that. But it seems to be the consensus that the ball diff is much better, except for extremely high bite surface where it doesn't matter (I run a mixture of ball and gear diffs in my cars that I run on carpet)

It's all relative. Run a hobbywing 3.1 in your car for a day, and come back and tell us what you think of your RS. In a 2wd buggy platform such as the B5m (staying on topic), smoothness and predictability of both the throttle and brake response, is very important. The RS just doesn't have it.

smc motors are great!!
spectrum 6070 lp servo?
fitting with wires rubbing on servo mount are you cutting servo case on bottom so they don't rub?or just bending over.

I would definitely fall into this category. Have been mostly running on carpet with 17.5s and my Tekin RS's do great. However the few times I have gone somewhere that's low bite, I have really struggled. I thought most of my problem was tires (and it still might have been) but maybe the ESC is partially to blame too.
