I'm just trying new stuff wouldn't it be nice to pick up some corner speed like a mm? Rear motor cars seem to have zero problems with rear bite, so why not start to move the weight around and see if it gets more corner speed, and if it doesn't work you put it back.

I dont have issues with people chopping chassis. some if AE innovation have come from the community and passed up. I personally have no desire to chop up a car, but to each their own.

If it were better, would it not have been an option?

Just find it hard to believe that the only reason AE wouldn't have made it an option is to sell batteries...c'mon...

Chassis flex and complicated battery mounting positions come to my mind.

If it works great if not at least I know I'm not missing out on something I could of taken advantage of.

+1

Everyone thought MM was for carpet -- look where that landed.

$27 (B5 chassis) for a drastic change which might prove to pay off -- makes sense to me.

Will my ACER ceramic diff balls and Casper-RC ceramic thrust bearings work? Dialed in my B4.x

I wasn't there to see it but I am led to believe that Kody unleashed the B5m on the OC_RC modified club racers last night. With excellent results!

I would think so. Bfast is selling the same thrust bearing for the B4.x and B5. For the diff balls you would obviously need 14 rather than 12.

That's actually quite interesting. If you can get a RM car to perform well on carpet it becomes a much more versitile car than trying to get a MM car to work on a slick track.
