From personal experience with the old JConcepts hexes....good luck. If you can get at the end of the screw you might be able to put a fine cutting wheel on a dremel tool and cut a slot into it. Then use jewelers screw drivers to back the screw out. You could also try driving a tap through the opposite side, a screw extractor (probably too small), firmly clamping it in a vise and using a drill press to drill the screw out (not likely), or using the force.

My advice, without any sarcasm, is to buy a new set of hexes.

Yea i would definitely do that, but the problem is i anodized all my aluminum red and to get a new one anodized (JUST 1) it's another $50. This place charges $50 minimum wether it's to anodize 1 piece or 50 pieces

Easiest thing to do is go to the AE website and look at the product description and pictures of both.

Doesn't come with rims tho

I think i got it all...

Thank you...I was questioning, I thought earlier someone said teh lite comes with the b5r arms & towers.

I'm just trying to decide if it's worth the cost to get the lite for 17.5, and make my current one a mod buggy, or just stick with my current one for 17.5, and do the little upgrades that it's missing. (3 gear, top shaft, front axles, motor plate, and either lite chassis, or xfactory chassis) I already have the rest on it, and coming in at 1517g's rtr with shorty pack.

If you already have most the stuff why get it unless your car is older and you just want new plastic. The lite is good, but I'm sure the b5M is just as good. My stock lite car weighs in at 1550 with all the goodies. (aside from pucks and lite pack)

The b5m lite does come with the b5 rear arms and tower and flat front arms,along with items mentioned earlier.

ezlight

Thank you, that is stuff I do not have....I'll have to see if anyone has the b5 arms & stuff and try their car out, just to see what is different about the handling.

I thought the rear motor front arms and tower made the steering feel more linear throughout the corner. My son actually preferred the mid motor arms and tower. I agree, you need to try it yourself to see what you think.

Which wing holes does everyone run? The forward or back positions?

Thomas PA

Try both! Or do what I did, cut the nubs off the wing mount, drill down through, and use a screw with a large, flat head to clamp the wing down. Then you're free to make a slot in the wing and have full adjustability
