Thats why i prefer the B5M so far ( only driven a B44.1 so far, so I don`t know anything about the handling) but i`m not sure yet.

I am a Little scared that the RM jumps very difficult becaus of the engine at the back, making the nose go in the air at every jump. Jumps have always been my whackness with the b44 xD but at the end I got the way to go with the 4wd. It will be funny to see if itll work with the 2wd as well.

thanks for help though

Definitely get the MM and I am quite positive there will be setups for lower grip tracks for the other track you could try. The RM jumps like a dream the nose shouldn't go in the air all the time. But I'll say it will be VERY different than the B44.1. Completely different...

First race night last night. Car was good except for the wicked push. Got to figure that part out. Ran same lap times as 4.2 but nonetheless, seemed easier to drive and felt faster. With some tuning, this thing going to be a beast! (Full kit set up except avid 2+2's, 1.5/1.1)

Oh, and with front hex conv., all my wheels stayed on and put a vicious wall smack in our tight confines and kept rolling. I've broke numerous front arms on said corner with the 4.2. Lol!!

You are using RPM ballcups on the B5?

Wildcat, you post about more odd ball breaks than anyone on here. I'm not shocked that a post about a broken AE turnbuckle comes from you..lol

I cant even dispute that. The good thing is, my job is to find things that break and I always find the crazy stuff. I finished the day with a steel rod. it didnt bend though....even after come cool crashing.

Only part I'm seeing fail is the transmission case breaking away from the motor plate.

Is the mid motor going to be a handful to actually drive? I drove a few rear motor buggy cars during a club practice. It was definitely faster than my sc10 in all aspects, but I did experience the swinging effect in the corners. Any suggestions? I'm pretty fresh when it comes to buggy, but do you all think it would be a bad choice? As I stated on page 72, I actually like the quick response in my steering.
