For SpeedPassion products you'll want to check out expresschobbies.com.

It's an east coast hobby shop that is co-owened by a local pro racer. They are the east coast distributer and have some of the best prices you'll find on SP products and their customer service is excellent!!!

You summed it up exactly as I was thinking minus one thing.... In stock you WILL see a difference IF you don't run of the 'new age' packs They have more powah. Someone please independently compare the high dollar Amain pack to the Aero Model to the Pro Match pack. Look very closely at the pictures and the specs and last but not least the price. I'm getting long in the tooth but they look exact in every way but price (well the Amain pack has "10 more" C-haha).

I would also like to know what exactly people did besides tapping out the hinge pin holes in order to run the b5 rear arms.

I agree on those packs looking the same. I noticed that a long time ago. not really surprising since only a few companies make the lipos. But people are loyal to those expensive brands. /shrugs. Lance are you racing Wednesdays at w3?

So I'm just coming back to racing after a decade or so away. Trying to understand the big bore pistons. Pretty sure I understand 1.7 has the least pack and 1.5 has the most with the kit pistons but where would the 3x1.4 and the 4x1.3 pistons fit in?

They go between the bearings in the composite portion of the steering rack. I installed my bottom bearings first, placed the crush washers in, then installed the upper bearings. Then you can use a little bit of blue loctite on the screws and carefully snug the rack to the aluminum steering arms. I have to say mine is the smoothest bellcrank I think I have ever assembled, it has zero slop and is tight but free also. Very good tolerances.

I took the back case off and relocated the wires to come out the back

Not sure what your talking about. I didn't tap anything. Just put the right are on the left side. I did shave the chassi down just to make sure the arms didn't hit since I spaced them foward 1mm
