What's your budget?

Since you didn't give one, I'll recommend my experience: Orion R10.1 pro and a Trinity Certified 1s 17.5 if you're racing 17.5

Best ceramic bearings IMO. I just got some and my gearbox is soooooo free and my temps dropped and car seemed to get faster with them.

I think he wants a FULL ceramic kit, not a tranny kit. And IMO, the Aura bearings from avid are more free.

The only ones out of stock are for the B5RM. The 3 gear and B5M 4 gears are in stock.

+1, Trust the company that has been in the RC Bearing business for over 10+ years.

Yep, Avid has been in the bearing business for a while. I was talking to David and realized that he knows a crap ton about bearings. I find him to be an invaluable source if information.

1.4 oz lead under the rack. the car is too light in the front and likes to wheelie.

+3mm Trailing. This seemed to add some steering. I also ran the 2mm axles space in front of the front hubs. This moved the wheels back a little and again helped keep more weight over the front wheels.

I never ever ran a square pack, but I tried a set of saddles once, but quickly gave up on that, as it felt very sluggish. And liked to slap out on jumps.

I ran 1.6 pistons front and rear with 2 limiters front and 1 limiter in the rear. with green springs all around. If you run the saddles, you might need to go white/white. I ran 32.5/30 oils.

I ran the 3-2 rear squat block, but in the future I would go with the 2.5-2 for high bite tracks. The car has a ton of forward bite and really could do with a little less.
All of those suggestions helped although I didn't have weight in the front. Car definately likes to pivot. Going to pick up some weight today as the car felt skidding in the front. Still managed a respectable 4th for zero tuning time before eacing began. Think once tires break in and I get that weight up front the car will Be super goid.
