So its my understanding that for an outdoor track that's low bite rather loose dirt, that RM is the way to go. Has anybody tried a MM in this type of condition? Thanks

eh, it's all the same I wish they would have done the test video for the B5M at the OCRC track so we could sort of compare the two under similar track conditions on video.

You don't. Associated does.

You are correct. RM for looser dirt and med-low traction surfaces. MM is just a different feel. It's really hard to explain it. It works best on indoor carpet and indoor/outdoor astro turf surfaces. It also works well on high traction clay surfaces. My local track is a high traction clay surface and the RM works well. It's mainly RM, but a couple guys ran MM last year and liked it. But which works best? Really that depends on your driving style. The thing is, on a club level, fast guys are fast no matter what motor configuration they run. I plan to run a RM, but I'm already thinking of getting the MM to try it - and becasue we may have an indoor carpet track again.

Wasn't that helpful?

The secret plan is for all AE drivers to tank the race so everyone gets up in arms about how the B4 is no longer on par with the other cars. Then they debut the B5 at the next big race and sweep the podium to show the B5 is better than everything else. AE sits back and sells a ton of new kits.

They did do the B5m video at OC_RC it was before the Reedy Race build though.

This might have been said already but associateds website under parts for the b5rm already shows FT Parts. I think I'll wait for the FT kit to come out

Oh right, I was thinking about the three videos from SDRC that were featuring both buggies and the main engineers. But that video at OCRC hardly shows any actual laps, just highlights.

I don't think you HAVE to wait until mid march for the RM.

I won't be, the buggy comes with everything. For the most part ft will be more bling than performance from what I see.

If you're going to wait that long, might as we'll wait for the B6.
