3mm will give more entry steering. the manual explains the effects and what ackerman and wb changes are reccomended with the changes.
best advice is take a practice day at your most visited track amd spend the day changing settings so you can see what effects you get with each change.

got to run my car for the first time in a long time. I was on an outdoor track that they used sugar water on. I ended up having to go to flat arms / tower to tame the front end down. It was crazy how much of a difference that made, so anyone who feels they have too much or too reactive steering, definitely take these guys advice on the rear motor front arms / tower.

Could not get a grasp on the MM stock and mod today so switched back to RM... Tried all kinds of setups in practice but the RM is just alot faster outdoors... I have two conversion kits for cheap!!! (Rm to MM)

Had someone ask what the fan mount made by my friend looks like with the body on. This is with a JConcepts Silencer.

I'm unhappy with my B5. I drove a random RB6 and turned faster and more consistent laps with that, but I'm not ready give up on my B5. Everything is stock besides gullwing front arms and B5M front shock tower. I'm running 32.5 oil in all 4 shocks. 3mm trailing arm inserts. front shocks are all the way out on the arms and middle hole on the tower. rear shocks are all the way out on the arm and inside hole on tower. rear links are middle hole on hub and inside hole on the block. I have good steering. struggling with traction and over all stability of the buggy. looking for some help and answers besides "get a B5M and problem solved." I don't crap money so I want to work with what I have.

Very happy with my Associated B5. Pretty good for first race with it...

Finally got to run my MM last night for the first time with something other than a 17.5 in it. I had gone through and redone everything so it was much closer to some of the team setups thinking I was going to be looking for rear bite. Car felt really good other than a slight push until i broke the front shock tower. By the way i will agree the Hard parts are much mrs fragile. The hit that broke it wasn't much. Anyway i am running the flat arms and still had the GW front tower in my box so i figured id try it. Middle hole on the flat was pretty close to the inside on the GW tower. The only other thing i did was adjust the ride height. Car felt a little better to me. Mind you i haven't driven the car much in the past 6 months and i am by no mean one of the fast guys but i could feel a slight positive difference.

I miss Wild Cherry. J/K.
Ran my car mod with square pack using what is posted as Cavs setup for Reedy Race and the car felt really good and was super fast. Drove a mod 22 2.0 with same motor and felt sluggish, had a short pack in it. Did not weight both cars, but felt similar in weight.
