Tonight I had some drinking issues and ordered one. Tomorrow I may wish there were cogging issues ordering

Thinking about one of these, saw one go around and it was way fast. Seems like what i wanted my rb6 to always be. The blade body even fits which is a huge bonus because its the best cab forward body ever made. I absolutely HATE TO SAY THIS........ But I really want to get an B5rm.

I think I ordered too many.

Though can one really ever have TOO MANY B5s?

Anyone have any pictures/running videos of their B5rm yet? Any after build thoughts or advice? I've been on Youtube, but haven't seen any running videos that weren't conducted by the team themselves.

how many kits would you estimate ae has sold world wide since the b5 came out? How many 2wd buggy kits do you think they sell in a year. I always wonder how big this hobby is. Based on amain only getting like 40 kits, I assume not that many.

Battery debate.... for mod racing what would be the choice, saddle or square pack? I myself see the saddle with an advantage by being able to separate the weight.

Shorty made the car more nimble and the saddle made the car feel super planted but you could feel the weight when driving it. I myself will run saddles.

Build went super smooth took me 4 hours. plastics are alot stiffer compared to the b4 plastics. I bought the reedy brick wasnt a fan of the shorty pack in the b4..
