speaking of the C and D mount, How much of a difference do the brass mounts make? I lust got the set but have not put them on yet.

I have tried the brass C mount, and actually like it on my t5m. The D mount doesn't make complete sense to me personally, but I'm sure there are several people that like it though.

Is there any reason a servo saver should not be used with a B5M?

less steering feel. I've never had a problem on a 2wd buggy running no servo saver.

15 years ago, definitely you needed/wanted one. Today's servos are so good and durable, that I just don't see the need.

The alloy racks, and the servo horns are suspect though on the T5M - I've even seen a stock plastic rack get broken. Remember this - you strengthen 1 part, then the other parts have the load transferred to them. Eventually this will affect the servo - Alloy rack, alloy bell cranks, alloy servo horn, and I'd bet you'll see broken steering blocks and broken servos.

I suspect AE will need to beef up the alloy/plastic steering for the T5M. Probably an HD version.

Then you'll see the broken parts shift to servos, horns, and steering blocks.

Which is OK...Just keep a backup servo on hand.

Or dig in your pit box for the older ball cups and studs and let the thing pop off as designed.

Personally i have had no problems with the stock steering rack. That does not mean i wouldnt find a benefit to an aluminium one.. just do not believe its keeping me from winning.

I built a TC6.2 on-road last year as per the manual with no saver. I hit a board and busted a gear in my servo. I added a Kimbrough saver after that and the steering still feels good. I figured a buggy might see more steering rack stress than on-road.

Anybody actually build and try out their Lite yet?

The only thing my car doesnt have that the lite does is the aluminum front axles...and my car is amazing.

Do the Proline 2.4" VTR tires fit the Associated 61mm wheels?

Matt Trimmings

Yes, all the new 2.4", 60mm, 61mm wheels and tires are interchangeable just like the 2.2" stuff is. I think its just each separate company naming them slightly different. ProLine went with the american 2.4" where as JC/AE went with the metric. JC didnt include any decimal and AE rounded up. (2.4" equals 60.96mm)

The 2.4"/60mm/61mm/VTR/EVO wheels and tires are still not allowed under ROAR rules?
