Just go over head with your motor wires Vito,

Easier to install & replace if you have trouble with.

Raced the car outdoors on Friday night. Fluffy track with tons of dust...

The car has so much forward bite it should be illegal. I'm really digging this car.

Any ideas to keep the rear from getting loose under braking? I have to dial back way more brake than I have in the past with my RM Durango or B4.2 to keep it from swapping ends under hard braking. How will removing antisquat negatively affect the car otherwise?

get use to , mid motor takes time .

Also mid hates heavy braking.

Practice to be smoother entering corners and smoother on throttle .

Personally run about 15% softer brake then if using a rear motor .

personally i have noticed i change my race line to a much more "open" corner with the mid motor car.



while the light line was more how i drove a rear motor car, the dark line is more how i have to drive my mid motor car.

Not if you run a fan...... 105 all day long zero fade in a heat/main.

tbird.... on the brakes you want just enough to slow the car quickly.. not lock up the back.. the whole idea is to carry your corner speed.. that's were races are won.. if you figure there are 8-12 corners on a typical offroad track.. if you can gain even 1/4 a second a corner then your 2-3 seconds a lap faster!!!! Huge difference.

also be careful if your running the stock slipper as if you run it to loose the metal disc between the pads will get to hot and cause the discs to swell and the slipper becomes inconsistent and make your car start feeling looser about halfway thru the race.

the vented vs slipper discs from associated are way lighter and much more consistant.. easy and inexpensive switch.

I got my pucks installed. I tossed in some cut gears for giggles while I was at it. Boy did that mess up my ride height. I am in the process of moving and my scales are not handly, but that change in ride height was a lot. Maybe the rear end will free up a litle on my medium+ bite track.

AE rims are lighter, I want to say about 1 gram each rim. Got mine below 1500 so I am happy. Get to add weight as needed now.

Not so much of a wide arc as rear motor. Hot in and hot out with mid. Makes me think if I have changed my style??

slipper adjustment


If your using the kit VTS adjust the locknut so the slipper shaft is flush with the locknut.

That's the sweet spot for the best performance..

We get a fresh layout tommorow at Trcr.

This Tuesdays club race traction will be way less then what we had today on the old layout.

Changing my rear toe from 2.5/1 back to 3.0/1..

Leaving the rear chassis camber stud in the outside position.

Really recommend you guys to try in fact.
The car handles hard entry into the corner so much better.

I'm considering getting one at some point this year. I run on a loose rough track so I assume rear motor is better for these conditions. Also, is there any word of a factory team b5?

maybe it's too early in the morning, but how did pucks and cut gears change your ride height?
