Half worn will steer more cept if dusty.
New tires steer less, not a bad or good thing. Just account for when your tuning.
Hope you have gone to the inline , just do it if you have not Clayton.
Don't make me come up there and show you.
Promise you will put the hurt on Nate with.
Even Scott said yesterday I sure pick up the pace.
Tip
I never practice with my B5, instead over the last 3 weeks been practicing with the B44.
4w takes more ability to drive well & knowing to drive either well makes you far more capable then someone who only runs a 2w.

When the outside ribs start wearing off your favorite front tires do you keep running them as is, cut the ribs off, or toss em? Proline says the ribs are there to reduce the aggressiveness of them and I've run fronts with the ribs gone before but wondering what you guys do. Scrubs or barcodes are a good example.

Does anyone know the weight difference between the aluminum arm mounts and the stock plastic ones, if there's any weight difference at all?
thanks,
thanks,

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 just felt like the car wasn't braking hard enough after the straight; again, it was a loose outdoor track, so YMMV. With the brakes set up for my B4.2 (and everything else in the speedo the same), it was fine everywhere else on the track, but the end of the straight going into the 180 it got loose.
I got up early this morning to try out my new Wolfpack shorty and a little different setup. I really do like how it drives with the shorty but honestly, I'm still not happy with it - the car is still difficult to drive. Man, my B5RM had so much traction coming on to the straight that it could do wheelies sometimes. B5M, not so much. I actually went so far as to put .5 toe in out back. It's worst coming on to the straight and when off power coasting into sharp turns. Starting to wonder if the MM just isn't for me. The 4wd car on the other hand was a really treat to drive today! I just can't get enough of driving that car!

they will weigh more than plastic, but why do you care?

thanks for the info. I just want to make sure it's not significantly heavier than the stock. Then, I don't have to change my setup at all. If it's significantly heavier, then I can plan my tuning changes accordingly.

How much do the stock axles weigh?
The Lunsford titanium are 5.5 grams.

Curious - how is the 2.4 wheel doing there? Are people still cutting up barcodes to fit on the AKA rims or what? I was thinking that by next winter, 2.2 will be all but dead like when we moved from 2.0's way back when.

They must be pretty close. They also make brass ones for people that do want more weight.

Ease of tuning outweighs the slightly heavier aluminum parts. It is much easier to adjust the anti squat / toe with the pills than changing the entire mount out.

So, coming from a tlr buggy, I assume I can't use the rims/tires from it? I do have the front axle/clamp setup ready for install, but can't find the rear in stock anywhere. Does this mean I can use my DE racing rims from my losi on the front, but not the rear ones yet?

not into debating which is to drive Ryeau 
My reason for such a statement
#1 4w requires far more throttle control because you can't just lift power & glide flat on landings. Lift power all the way & expect a big nose dive with 4w. Driver needs to hold more on power throttle in the corner as well.
#2
2w has far better suspension & can land harder with no slap.
4w has to be landed on every down hill ramp off the jumps and has to be driven smoother.
A wheeler is a must have tool in any pit box .
GTI
still using the AKA rim & Jc tire.
Better when traction comes up .
also still using Jc with standard rim when traction is down, both perform well.
Best part about the
combination is you can get a second life out of the AKA insert by trimming off the inside bars .

huh? the rear "should" work fine. I use tlr 22 rears on my b5. The fronts have a completely different off set. Your car will be narrow in the front.

3 vs 4 gear has absolutely nothing to do with motor placement. It changes how the torque of the motor is applied to the chassis. That's all.
