I run mod captain, 7.5. I have yet to see my car come off hotter that 128 after ten min runs. But yeah it felt a little bound up or tight and everything was free except bearings so i did the whole car ceramic lol

Anyone have kyosho shocks on their b5m? Could u feel any difference? My rb6 is a lot smoother than my b5m so I was wondering if the shocks would have anything to do with that....

Anyone else get back from Motorama? There were a ton of B5ms in my heats. I tried a lot of stuff, made the B in stock, had bad mains though. Pretty much the normal setup, I thought I would be using clay tires most of the race based on last year, but M4 electrons had the best balance of the tires I had. (clay felt good the first couple of practice heats, then got loose). Every year I have a list of things to try "next" year, lol, but since there is so little practice you have to choose wisely. I even ran my B5R for one round, and it was good but the sensor wire got wrapped around the dogbone and snapped while on a good run I went back to the M after that and took out some steering and went a little faster.

This was a great read! I wish that I had seen that before I bought regular D4s for most of my cars....I'm happy with the regular D4 so I could only imagine!

Also, for all you guys complaining about the expense of being competitve in stock racing....its in your head. The faster guys are are still going to beat you with slower cars. Driver skill and setup are just as important. The top guys at our track will run the same car in stock, mod, and expert and still rail everybody out.

I've finally swapped out my R1 a few times and can say for buggy they are both close, I think the D4ss has a little more bottom end, but both have tons of torque and need more gear than you think

I read a thread started by one of the Trinity drivers and geared exactly how he recommended and my regular D4 screams....it comes on power so hard it sounds like I have esc timing but I don't. I gear my buggy 69/34 w/50 degrees of timing and my SC 25/75 w/45 degrees. I'm really impressed with the regular old D4.

What are some different things to try other than changing tires I've done plenty of that track is a packed clay with a little dusting on the top typical out door track

How big is your track, what are some of the normal lap times?

QDRHRSE

iTrader: (515)

The track is around 70 x 100 or so.....it might be a tad larger. Its outdoors and average guy laps are 21-22 second the faster experts hit 19s, I can occasionally run low 20s....I'm an averge to fast sportsman and a laggard expert. With my D3.5s I geared 69/30-32. The D4 didn't wake up until I over geared it.

We are about 30 x 60, 15 second laps in stock buggy with d4 at 72 / 32

We have a place in Three Rivers....I bet you race at that little indoor in Exeter. I've been dying to try it out but since we're always there to get away my wife always gives me the stink eye when I even bring it up.
