That is not the same coating. The coating is applied in Japan, and the price reflects it. I've had a set of KYB forks done, and it's not cheap.

I dont always feel like swapping motors on race day. so, here are my thoughts. I normally run 42deg timing, and i will drop it back to 30 deg, add 20 boost and 10 deg turbo. As I a mainly want the extra power on the straight to not get run over. Of course I will monitor temps. I am thinking i can leave my gearing at 69/30 for now. Based on my boosting tests in the past, I believe this is a reasonable starting point. thoughts?
I just use the same stock car for both.....I find that only the really fast guys actually go faster with a mod motor. On average they are less than .2 a lap faster and that's not consistent.

TiN coated shafts could be useful.
Well since AE is branding them as Fox, I figure TLRTR will have King branded stuff before long...

Matters because I have a crap load of A's that I get with the associated servo kit. Thought it would be nice to use if possible but appears no go. Hope I did not cause you too much hassle to respond. Thought it was inner diameter related but wanted confirmation. Hopefully, some others will get some use out of this thread.

Am I the only one thinking chrome will last longer than TiN shock shaft coating? At least the coatings I have seen from AE in the past...

Jake, another AZ guy and I argue over this constantly..He tells me the chrome shafts show wear after two nights of racing, and strictly runs the TiN shafts.

I know in MX, the TiN is a lot smoother and more scratch resistant than the chrome.

I run the chrome AE shafts, but will switch to the new gold shafts when they get here Friday.

that is what I did last week. I think I will just add turbo for the straight and go from there. I have the power I need for the infield. no really need for boost. my current temps are like 125, so some turbo should be fine when I run mod

Thats a good combo the v10 has adjustable timing and the toro esc has boost/turbo you will need the skyrc program box so you can set the boost and turbo to zero for now, when you get better you can play with the dynamic esc timing, ask someone at the track for help setting it up

Has anyone weighed their B5M to find the weigh distribution front/back? I don't have the car myself, but was wondering how it compares to the B5 and other mid motor cars.

There is way too many variables to answer that question accurately.
The car can be any where from 62-64% rear bias. 63% is probably normal average.
