Too be honest I would concentrate on practicing your driving, this accounts for 90% of your end result

I use the same servo in mine. I took the bottom of the servo case off and used my dremel a bit to widen the cutout where the wires come out. A new case is cheap if I decide to move the servo to another car down the road, but it keeps most of the pressure off of the wires.

I assume you are referring to me. I don't consider myself elite by any stretch... Im just opinionated, but express such opinions within the letter and spirit of the site. I spend countless hours of my own free time keeping this place a clean and friendly environment where people can come talk about RC. A large part of my time is taken up cleaning up bogus accounts, such as yours, created for no other reason then to come into threads like this, and create and spread drama.
And you're right, I do delete posts... I delete any post where people come in here and outright talk crap or trash talk the RC community as a whole, or everybody in this thread as a whole, (which has happened a half dozen times in this thread in particular, over the last few weeks) or who spout out personal insults, just like you have here. Leaving those posts UP is what creates a bad environment.
Seriously.. this is like the 10th warning by as many moderators in the last month. Lets stay on topic... The B5m.

I missed the "big race" last weekend but got to run last night on the layout with the track still have very good grip, my car was very good, rotated well and was fast. I managed one hero lap of the night, but a few only .1-.2 slower ended up 2nd in the main. Here is a video of the track from the weekend:

I like that simple flowing layout and the surface looks like modeling clay or play dough. Nice looking track. I also like the hustle the marshals put into their efforts. I know I am probably in the minority but I love marshaling. It was kind of hard to see on the back stretch but it looks like the race was decided by a bobble in the far corner? Nice close racing otherwise.

I talked to Matt from MIP and he said not to do it, but companies always act on the conservative side. Anyone using Bi-metal pucks with a 13.5 in the B5s? My daughters B5M outdrives are looking a little beat up. The pucks last forever in my car with a 17.5 and grease on the pucks. What kind of life can I expect with a 13.5? Keep in mind, I do not have her 13.5 cranked up. Some people say to use the shiny bones with the alum outdrives, but the only place to get those seems to be directly from MIP.

For 13.5 I would use the alum bones with the steel outdrives...the outdrives are going to wear the most I would think. You can get everything from Amain...just search 'pucks b5m'.

The best thing is when the fast guys from sticky high grip tracks go to a low grip track and are two laps off pace. I'd love to see how Schoettler drives when his car isn't glued to the track.

Michael Schoettler has come up to our annual big race here in Ottawa Canada the past couple summers and raced on our outdoor/circus tent covered track of hard packed dirt/clay and put on a great display of racing against other factory drivers. Always great to see guys like him race. I gotta get his set up, but I doubt it'd work for my skill set, or lack thereof! Lol.
Fast guys are fast, everywhere.

Yeah, he went to St. Louis in Feb for the JC race and ended up winning it if I remember correctly. He struggled at the beginning of that race, but was on pace when it counted.

I just watched those two Schoettler mains...whoa, he is a beast! That white car in A3 tried to stay with him, but he is truly like a machine wheeling that 5M!
