Super pumped to find that losi parts house had 1 set of b5r rear hard arms! Noticed they had a lot of parts in stock as well.

Wouldn't mind the battery strap. But the "B5" is upside down.

So do I need a new servo or is there a servo horn that will correct this issue? This is an old Futaba S9451. The horn is bottomed out on the spline so it will not go down any further.

You have the ball on the wrong side of the horn.

Looks good, but does it dissipate heat as well as the aluminum?

BTW
Never braged about anything, just bet Bill Trcr would get plenty of kits after he claimed incorrectly we would only get a small shipment of.

Even if my kit arrives , will not build it unless all the parts are also available for me to complete the kit.

parts I still need to build are the inserts & rear motor front tower(hard).I have already purchased most of the other extra parts .
Maybe if you were working instead of trolling the forums, commenting on a kit you don't even own yet. You'd possibly have had the cash back when this kit was being "saved" for you.

Haha

Doh! That's a good homer moment! I probably should have noticed that by looking at the ball stud on the steering rack.

That would be a giant no. Also isnt the rear where the mid guys are trying to ADD weight?

Yeah, kind of thought so. And you beat me to my next question.
Just because it can be made out of carbon fiber doesn't mean it should be.

So I'll be doing some more testing now again with the gullwings.

I'd suggest leaving your battery still as far back as possible and improve the steering via another method. Try front dirt web tires if you have not. They are more aggressive.
I have dirt webs and they didnt help at all! In fact they made it worse, the best tire i have found for precise and consistent steering is MC Ions.

Slipper eliminator, evo wheels, puck system (b4 with b4 hub or wait for the b5 ones).
