Just put in my mip puck system last night. Was kinda bummed but my lap times were down compared to my gear dif. Going to give it some more time before I put my gear dif back in. I'm running 17.5 class

NO spaghetti !!!!
did not bury the sensor wire
Felt its something you need to change easy because the wire can fail at worst time.
Facing car
Esc middle, reciever on left, cap on the right of Esc
Put servo wire in front of receiver & ant on left side of receiver.
Switch on right back corner of servo

My bad was posting from my phone. It's in my mid motor car. I'll post over there. My rear motor still has stock dif. The hook up in the rear just wasn't there. Going to tighten it down some more to see if that helps

I thought your car looked pretty good. There was another b5m at the track that looked terrible. no rear bite at all. Going from the gear and steel bones, to the pucks is going to take some weight out of the rear of the car. So you might want to take that into consideration. Also, how tight are you running the ball diff?
I might be picking up a MM b5 soon to play with. Did the pucks help much with motor temps? that would be the main reason I pick some up.

More paint woes...
So is it suggested to "rough up" the body before paint? I have never done this and have never had any issues with paint peeling until now. Last night I was mounting the body onto the car. I push a little on one of the flared sides and noticed the paint peeled right under that spot. Upon closer inspection, I also noticed that the paint is peeling under the Velcro strips I use to mount the body.
I cleaned the body prior to painting as suggested and used polycarbonate paint so don't know what's going on. Maybe the B5 body just knows that I don't care for the cab forward design so it's rebelling!
The paint looks like it has some serious crashes on it already and I haven't even run the car yet! Sad!

I dont know how you cleaned it but sponge, dish soap, and warm water work best. Dont touch the inside after cleaning, all hands are oily.

As for temp. It ran about 10 degree cooler than the gear dif.

I wish I could practice. Wednesday night racing is all I get. I might suck less if I had more than 3 packs of practice a week. My daughter will be joining yours in novice in a few weeks. Maybe they will have enough for a kids class. GL tuning that ball diff. I know the mod guys are pulling wheelies and traction rolling with the ball diff, so it can be done. They do run more weight though. Do you run the brass suspension holders?

Dont rough up body. Wash with sponge and soap and water before painting, let it dry fully (i use a microfiber cloth to dry it off). I use tamiya spray cans, just light coats. Let it dry for a full 24 hours before applying velcro on inside or mounting it.

I know I touched the inside a bit when applying the masking tape, so I wonder if that is part of the issue. I have never masked a body before and always just painted solid colors, so this is probably the problem.
