Get your $50 dollar bill ready!

Funny thing is that 9 out of 10 toy car drivers will want it... even though it provides no gain in performance (slight roll center tunability over the stock hubs). Wait -- I'll probably want them too! LOL

Anyone notice the screw in the wing mount being used?

Didn't see that mentioned in the build manual, but very trick!

Looks like a milled out motor plate.

ideally you want it too look uniform across the whole thing, but it does look like there is a little design inside of the milled spots, imo the milling looks sweet

Its not a polished surface.... im pretty sure you will always see the tooling path in a milled pocket like that... looks good to me.

Definitely custom. Those are tool marks from the CNC. May be a prototype for things to come or just something he wanted to do.

I wondered what that was for. Keep the wing from flopping around and never lose the shim!

Thanks. I have seen a few people have what looks to be upgraded bell crank but cant tell what it is. Not sure if the stuff on Associated site is for the B5 or not as it does not say specifically.
