When out yesterday for the first time with a B5M and love it. Now my son wants one for himself. I guess I will be looking at the sale section.

Yeah, I have been driving my kids car. Hope he doesn't want to run it over the summer. He has been using my Tekno SCT410 so I guess we are even. This is a superior car to any other AE product that I have owned since my gold pan.

Does anybody know when the jconcepts wing mounts are supposed to be available?

Any updates on when B5M lite will be available, is it still mid April?

This is correct. I haven't even watched the video but the tires have nothing to do with forces being different between the 3 and 4 gear transmissions.
If you're running 4 gear and want to lift the nose you hit the throttle, right?
If you're running 3 gear and want to lift the nose you still hit the throttle, right?
That means the tires would have to be off to isolate any differences in movement of the chassis between the two transmission types.

DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF THE B5M BODY WILL FIT THE C4.2??? or any b5m parts that fit the c4.2. i know someone told me that the diffs work.

I thought people were modding the c4.2 finisher body to fit the b5 at one point too...The ballcups should fit too...lol

Im looking for more steering on my b5m. Anyone care to comment on this matter. Ty

I drived first time my B5 on local track (high traction carpet) with stock setup. OMG it was easy car to drive. Before I have drived mainly 4wd cars (4wd SC and 1/8 ebuggy) and expected 2wd car to be harder. It turn out that atleast in that hight traction carpet it wasnt. Stock B5 did understeer, but that is expected with tires I had (Schumacher Cut Stagger front and Minipin rear). Just getting minipins to front should fix that.

I am playing with 25-0 on high bite. you could also play with the +3mm trailing. stiffer rear springs. locally we have been going to really stiff springs for 17.5 orange fronts and yellow rears. Also, I went back to gulwings with the stiff springs.

I posted a video on another post debating mm3 vs mm4 but it didn't seem to catch on.
This is what I wrote if it can be of any interest to somebody here as it was done on my b5m:
"I'd say it's negligible.(about mm3 vs mm4)
Sorry I just did this video for your question. The quality is crap and it's loud (turn the volume down a bit for the squeal of the motor):

The car is on water not touching anything else. The test speaks for itself.
I tried several axis. I can feel resistance (very light) on the vertical axis with no rotation direction preference but pretty much none one the other two.
Certainly no movements on it's own. So changing direction shouldn't make any odds or to me at least it's negligible.
I'm open to any theory/counter theory as I once contemplated the idea too."

Excellent creative thinking to devise such an innovative test.
