You just horde kits and parts?

Remind us yet again how all this stuff is just sitting in your garage, but could be had for the right price.

I did until one of the team drivers showed me that you need to install the optional 3x8mm set screws in each of the hubs and the front caster blocks. You need six screws total. Takes away most of the slop. Magical...

Here's an example.

think he means that the arm slides forward and backwards....

most people put a 1mm shim at the back of the arm to remove this.

i used team l*** shock spacers.

Black!!!!!!!!! Oh man please tell me this is the new trend And the brass rear suspension mounts if it helped the car like the rocketrc 22 mount does that would be sweet

Here you go. 100 of them for less than $5. Pass them out at the track after you get the ones you need and you'll be a hero.

A buddy of mine stopped by A main hobbies on the way to somewhere else and found that they had everything in stock for the b5. Nothing updated on the web site but it's all there. Sad! He picked up a bunch of stuff for us but I thought I'd pass on the info. If you want parts go there if you can.

Yea actually a bunch of stuff went in stock last night. I bet they are just catching up on receiving and inventory.

We were discussing this. I think you'll see this more for guys running on lower bite tracks, but of course nothing is certain.

Adding weight to my older mid motor cars in the same areas made them quite better when grip was down.

I probably won't run my cars much this summer, but I'll end up getting a set and tossing them in my box.

TBH, by the time I really run 10th scale again, I'll likely be buying the FT cars and then have 4 cars sitting here :LOL:

I want to believe that but my buddy was there about a week ago. There is stuff that hasn't said in stock for months that he was able to buy...and to this day that same stuff still says back order? Maybe they need to higher more staff!
