Try adding some vent holes in the front windshield.

I'm running Mayfields warehouse setup with different shock package 2x1.6 all the way around and 32.5 front and 30 rear. (Think of increasing the Ackerman but for now I'm running this) I'm using a 17.5 reedy Mach 2 with 34/69 25degrees timing. This setup is easy to drive with more then enough steering for the med size track with med/high bite.

We did that on the 22MM. It really makes the car easier to drive (on dirt). I wondered how long it would take for people to decide the car was, perhaps, too stiff. Could also just remove the screws for the waterfall (chassis brace that goes over motor) to see if it makes a difference.

sat before i ran my first pack i forgot i didn't loctite the screw for the front hubs,i did that,went out for my first pack on the car and i though it was really good until my ball stud unthreaded out of the hubs.
loctite those back in and i was good to go, 2nd qual my nut on my slipper came loose(never had that happened). Then in my main rear was loose,overall good impression on the car and i ran on a track i don't normally run and traction was a lot looser then i normally run,can't wait to get to my normal track and see how this thing handles.

So from what I understand the flat arms and the RM shock tower makes the car better?

I've been having trouble with heat with my B5ms. I have a car for both stock and mod. I haven't seen a whole lot about that trouble in this thread but I did see where dropping weight has made it better especially in stock. My stock comes in at almost 1600 grams but I have it geared at 29/75 which is pretty conservative compared to others and with 30degrees of motor timing in blinky mode. So I don't quite get why it's getting hot. Is it the weight? I ran the same setup on my 4.2 and it used to come off just warm. I don't see how some guys are running gearing like 69/32 with 17.5 and not getting way too hot? I'm running on an indoor track that isn't big but it isn't tight. Even with my mod car I'm running a Reedy 7.5 with gearing at 21/81 and it will come off at 185 and that's with stock timing at 20 degrees. I just saw Maifields latest setup and he's running the Reedy 7.5 gearing at 23/81 with 0 degrees of timing. Does that mean he retarded the timing on the motor from the stock 20 to 0? Or is 0 in reference to the stock 20? If that makes any sense lol. Any tips are really appreciated. My 17.5 is also a Sonic Mach 2.
i would think you were undergeared, i run small to medium and run 32/72 and even tried 34/72 and temp did not change much.

That's the same size pistons I'm running. I'm running 30 front and 27.5 rear. I'm having issues were i land a big double and the back end kicks out once it lands. I've tried 3+1 and 3+2 in the rear with no luck. Should I go to a little heavier oil? Any help would be great. Very frustrating. Was going to try the b5 rear arms tomorrow

Edit: Saw you are already on 1.6's. Get those flat front arms and tower on... should solve it.

How are they keeping the battery in with no strap? Velcro?
I'll try to post my setup later tonight. With the tips I got on here and a slight change or two, my car was absolutely dialed this past weekend on high grip clay, med layout track with slicks. I had so much traction I was traction rolling if I tried to land our one jump sideways to setup for the straight. I couldn't get the rear to slide that littel bit I needed.
I will say I have never been this fast before. I used to be the one having to pull over to let the fast guys by. Now I see what it is like to come up on traffic so fast and have to navigate throught them. I need more practice getting through traffic cleanly so I can put together a clean race.
