What good gearing for the stock spur for a 8.5 ? This is a medium sized outdoor track. Also If I go to a 78 spur what would be good gearing? Thanks

Just built my 9 year old daughter a factory lite with a 17.5t Reedy motor and it is stupid fast! She's smoking my 10.5 team car around our sidewalk oval because her car is so easy to place. Car drives perfect and it's hurting my feelings.

No by all means. Some just feel it makes their buggy accelerate faster.

Top 5 in Expert in Stock Nationals didn't have pucks.

Its not necessary but I like them for other reasons than the weight savings.

Anyone know the difference in weight between the b5m and b5m lite chassis?

You can use the same bodies for a 3 gear trans right? The sweep muzzle will work with the 3 gear right?

Yes just cut the other side out instead of where the marks are. I am using that body and dig it.

If your talking about the plastic link sitting level from the horn to the steering link its supposed to sit at angle. Read your manual and set it as it says to.

I'm building up my Lite and think I got the wrong rear arms. The only way I can get the mounting holes to face the rear is to put the (R) arm on the left and the (L) arm on the right. The rear wheels rub on the ball cup and the rear springs on the shocks bind badly against the tie rod.
