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.

Somebody posted an analogy of the b5 being like a cat in some manor, let me tell ya, was "spot on! " Made a few changes on Sunday and couldn't be happier. If anyone cares:
White rear, 30 wt
Green front, 35 wt
3 hole 1.4 pistons all around
A hub down middle hole rear, no washers
3 mil trailing axle front
no Ackerman difference from kit setup
Car was unbelievable (for me) on med/high bite, small, tight track. 180'd like a mug, jumped and landed like I always thought it was supposed to. Push was gone, twitch was nowhere to be found. Like a "cat!" Was amazing and can't wait for next race day.

Haha. It'll be fantastic with tuning. I could feel the car wanting to go much faster. Setup wasnt allowing it.

Though maybe I should add that our stock class is 13.5, so maybe super stock? Or maybe I'm just being hypocritical. I don't know who I am anymore. What year is it?

How is that problem solved? Then it's just a limited mod class. Personally I don't see the problem at all. I race stock because I enjoy tinkering a lot, and I'm a lot better at experimenting and adjusting my chassis and suspension settings than I am at driving. Stock is a nice place for me to be. Not too fast, but still quite competitive, at least at my local track. Stock buggy is the most popular class here.
