Hi,
Gonna be running the B5m on a low traction track soon. The control tyre is the Proline Caliber (http://prolineracing.com/tires/calib...gy-rear-tires/)
Can anyone point me to a good starting set-up for the the B5m on a low traction track.
Thanks,
MiCk B. :-)

Ran my mod car with al of the weight in it yesterday. Felt so much better then my lightened stock car, was night and day. Ordered a square pack for the stock car just so I don't have to rip it all apart to take the lightweight stuff out of it. Will test later in the week. Shotries and a lightweight setup are basically useless to me. My stock out of the box B5R right now feels the best out of the three cars. Considering how hot and humid it has been here in Southern California 90 + degrees inside at the track! should I thicken up by a half weight my shock oils?

Its "nervous" and stock springs which I believe are green? Correct me if I'm wrong. Using TLR 32.5 weight in all 4 and stock pistons and shafts and o-rings. I was thinking about getting low friction x-rings and find where everyone is getting those machined or tapered pistons or whatever they are.

steering is right where i need it, by unstable, i mean it doesnt feel planted. when i came off the double, it goes right into a sharp hair pin off camber. when i land the rear end bottoms out and kicks it sideways. but i cant stand the shocks up because then i loose some rear traction. i was told to use a different rear spring, but i dont know which one.

I pulled the trigger on the B5M. Sold my B4.2 to a buddy. Was going to wait a bit to see if they were going to release a FT, but had a good day of poker playing online to pay for this beast!
Will be building it while waiting around at the Wicked Weekend in GA. Went ahead and got the Al screws, brass C & D, Alu front pin holder and the lunsford turnbucks' any last min build or setup tips not already listed on the first page? Will mainly be running it on dry clay that is grooved but dusty. Starting out the the SMC 4600 shorties, but also have some Orion saddle packs I hope are still good to try out.

I have a question about the suggesting gearing in the manual.
I have a Turnigy TrackStar 10.5T/3730kV motor. The manual says to run 24/81 for a 10.5T Reedy motor, but a 21/81 with a 3300 or 3900 kV motor. I believe the Reedy 10.5T motor is a similar kV. Why would their gearing recommendations be contradictory?

If you have a 10.5 turn motor then go with the 10.5 gearing recommendation. Neither 3300kv and 3900kv are the same as a 3730kv. Not sure why this is even an issue.

I am picking up a Fantom Apex2 (same as trinity killshot I think). Does anyone know if the shaft will be rubbing the gear cover. I ran a Fantom D3.5 this past week and it slightly rubbed.

Does 21/81 sound about right for a 8.5 Tekin Gen 2 system? Gearing chart suggested 22t for a reedy 8.5. Main track is about mid-sized for an indoor track has a couple of spots you really need to accelerate quickly.

I just put these on my car. very good quality. hexes are nice and tight on my mip wrenches. They're not as bright as the lunsford but $35.00 cheaper.
