I am actually running the jconcepts b4.2 wing. I used the stock wing as a stencil and I drew new lines on the JC wing and cut it along the new lines.

Not really, it's hanging over the tower though.

What line did you use on the rear wing to cut it down to?

I did. My car had a little slop in it after running it for a few packs. The screws took out the slop, and I can still change the inserts.

Guys need some input on setup. I am setup with Cavalieri's Cactus setp outside of tires. I run on a high grip indoor clay track using slicks and traction compound. The traction was through the roof today. My rear was so locked I had to almost stop to make turns. The only other mid motor car (Centro) had the same issues. I moved battery all the way forward and still couldn't turn too well on the 90 degree turns or the 180. Once the track dried out some after the mains the car was feeling better but still had the push. Any ideas on what to start with?

Same design but the 91533 (shorter) is used on the rear of the B5M and the 91446 (longer) is used on the front. On the B5, the 91446 is used front and rear. You also have to get the 91447 bushings for the mounts.

Knock on wood, I haven't broken a single part personally, but I think it's crazy they aren't available. It would be nice to see some hop ups too.

Haven't really broke anything yet. I bought my kit early February and it was missing a part . I finally received it from Associated today. I ordered some Alum. parts from RC Planet 2 of the 4 parts have been on back order for 5 weeks now.
