Screw the eyelet on or off until you get the desired measurement.

I use my shock shaft pliers to hold the shock shaft and then turn the bottom eyelet of the shock in or out depending on what length I am looking for .

Finally got my low profile servo to fit but I just noticed it doesn't center correctly. Like I powered up the servo and I set my controllers trim to 0 then put the servo horn on and I noticed the servo turns to the right farther than the left. What would be the problem? Oh and yes my travel is set to both 100% left and right

Your B5 manual specifies a certain number of limiters in the kit setup but you are free to add or subtract based on what you want to change in the car's handling. In that Thielke setup he used only 1 limiter in each shock, whereas the kit setup I think is 3 front / 2 rear.
Oh I see. I thought it was secret technique I have never heard of before.

Thanks for all in the info!

Next things I'll be trying one by one are:

30 front / 27.5 rear oils
0 washers under front inner ballstud
3 x 1.4 pistons in the front shocks
Go to outside hole on B rear hub insert
2 degrees anti-squat
B5 rear-motor REAR arms

Got my hands on the aluminum rear ballstud mount yesterday. Now just waiting for the dang rear C & D inserts so I can install those aluminum mounts as well. Got some stainless and titanium screws on their way too

This is the only one that I can find anywhere....I am hesitant to order it though....I would rather wait for the trakpower or promatch to be available.

Did not try, but how about the B44.2 battery turning "hold downs"…? Just open up the front of the battery brace ends…

Edit; I mean the outer sides of the battery brace, thinking of the mid, not yet a B5R owner...

Oh yeah... all the AE team guys were at OCRC yesterday doing some B5m setup testing, and some other testing I cannot mention. Cav, Hartson, Kody, BT... even Cliff Lett was there for about an hour (not driving). Always good to see those guys out there pushing the limits

The TLR 22 rear body pin mounts?

Default steering crush washer
Can the aluminum crush washers that come in the aluminum steering kit be purchased separately? I purchased a steering kit and installed it on my mid. I just want the crush washers for my rear motor. Any part number for them yet?

I've seen a few sites with cut gears available over the last few days and I'm now ready to pull the trigger but can't seem to find the sites or companies again. Anybody have a link or suggestion on where to look. (Google turns up squat. ) Thanks!
