I will give away an old school trick here. Listen up guys.
TOOTHPASTE! Put a dab of toothpaste in the ball cup, press the stud into the ball cup, insert stud into a drill(I use my drill press) and spin at a lower speed. This not only polishes the stud, it also wears down high spots in the molded ball cup. disassemble and clean with a Qtip soaked in water. Spritz some silicone spray on the ball cup and reinstall the ball stud. FIXED!

Holy crap do you ever stop complaining?
First you say that you get missing part.. Okay... You get a package and it's the wrong items? Okay? Now theirs other things wrong with your kit and mine kit?
Geez gosh dang you associated!
They didn't tell you what was wrong with the kits?
I haven't heard of any problems from the kit, you should probably ask the hobby shop since they are the ones aware of the problems.

I use old 4-40 set screws and Jconcepts battery strap thumb screws from my B4. Allows the newer thicker wings to mount and un-mount quickly and securely w/o causing wear on the plastic wing mounts. If you don't like how big/high the thumbscrews are you could also use a 1/4" 4-40 nut or a mini-nut with a washer.

In a recent video by Jason Snyder, he talked about tire wear and a wear line down the middle of the rear tire is caused from too much wheelspin. I just got done with 2 days of racing this weekend with my B5m, and my rear tires are bald down the center. Is there anything I can do, or anything I should do to prevent this from happening? I have a lot of traction, so that isn't an issue.

Tires do not wear uniformly. Where at on the tire depends on your camber and type of track. My local track usually has more right hand turns and high speed ones at that, so our left rears always wear faster.
If your tires are wearing right down the middle, that's called business as usual haha.

with 3x6 to 3x8mm Flat head screws. I am unsure on the length I will need, but I have extra screws lying around to try out.

Prevent that from happening? Ummm no, that's precisely what is supposed to happen lol
