No, money won't make you win, like i said, but does give you the fastest CAR. That 1500 gram car with shaved gears, Al and Ti this and that, gearing through the roof because you don't care if you melt a motor, the latest and greatest fast motor that meets spec, low friction bearings, and a super high C battery does give a performance advantage.
But, all this won't make you drive or setup your car better.

With stock I'd spend so much time grinding, shimming, and polishing to make the car more efficient. The b5m seems like it fits together much better (fresh molds?) from what I've seen, so maybe this is less necessary.
Honestly, it has to be pretty overwhelming to the guy moving up from the novice class to find out what measures some of the 17.5 guys are taking on their cars. Slipper eliminators, lightened outdrives, pucks, ceramics, ti screws, and so on. By contrast in 2wd mod you can pretty much throw a box stock kit out there and your success is up to you and your throttle finger. It's the driver's class.

Does anyone have experience with the different stock rotors offered from Reedy? The sizes are a little different. What does this offer? Is it legal to change the rotor in stock class?

Ive always ran a stock b4.whatever in stock and could have won at any time in the greater NW. Its always my stupidity that throws me off the podium!

Thought this would maybe help get the thread back on topic......
Build went smooth, nothing missing, threw in some spare electronics and look forward to trying it out tomorrow evening. Gonna test the B5M, RB6 and 22 2.0 all back to back to back and pick a winner

A Shootout?! Sounds fun. Are you going with box stock setup on each one or have you developed a good baseline setup that you think will work well with each one? I look forward to your opinions haha!

My ESC is turned around from how yours is in the same spot and the rx is where you have the switch. The on off switch is mounted out of the box and next to the esc and the capacitors are mounted in the front next to the rx. The transponder is sideways in front of the esc.
Hope that makes sense.
I would post a pic but the file is to big. I will try later if needed.

Its very tight but I got it all to work the only dif is the receiver.

I have a good baseline for the 22 2.0, RB6 and what I believe will be good for the B5M. All are configured in mid motor and so far the B5M is the heaviest out of the bunch by almost 25grams. Not much of a difference but all we run is 17.5 blinky so weight is always an issue. I will run a few packs through the B5M first, try a few things and go from there once I feel comfortable with it. Worst thing that can happen is I don't like it and it ends up in the sale thread as a RTR....LOL
