11 is a good time if there are people there already running. The more people driving the faster the track dries. Monday and Wednesday mornings usually have a good turnout since practice is free on those days for club members.

Thanks for all the help guys I'm researching on anti squat and what I found seems like an argument . Which will add more rear traction during acceleration more or less anti squat?

Less. More anti squat means that your car resist more weight transfer from front to rear during acceleration (IOW car will squat less).

More accurately, less anti squat dont just add traction to rear. It also takes it away from front. -> Weight transfer is also traction transfer.

Without a battery I'm at 1300g's. So with one of my batteries I am at 1510g rtr, and the other battery i'm at 1517g's.

Oh, and this is on a regular B5m, not a lite.

What are the advantages or effects of using the B5rm front arms and tower. Guys have mentioned I'm running to much motor with a 7.5 I agree but track doesn't run a sportsman 13.5 or 17.5 stock class so I have to swim with the sharks

I run a 17.5 when I run mod.....you can run whatever motor you want in mod. run what you can handle. the rm rear arms gain rear traction. the flat front arms smooth out steering. your mileage may very

I think the gull wings lower your roll center. The flat arms seem to make the car turn smoother and add stability. I have only found the gullwing arms to work well in situations where traction is really low.

If a 7.5 is too much then I'd suggest trying a 10.5 or 13.5. I doubt that you're truly going to get out motored unless you have a 75-100 ft straight or gigantic doubles or triples that you need immense thrust to get over. Most guys can drive a 17.5 car faster than anything else. Admitting that is tough to do but its the truth. Even a 10.5 in a buggy is too much for most guys.

Its funny, but I think I have it figured out. People think mod is actually faster because Pros and chassis sponsored guys don't run stock. The manufacturers don't pay contingency money for stock classes so people never see how hard a pro could rail a a stock car. The reason there is such a battle raging in stock classes these days is not because of super-chargers, hot batteries, hot motors, or light cars, rather its because cars have come so far that classes should no longer be based on equipment classification, but rather driver skill. I think fast guys are cherry picking and probably shouldn't be racing the classes they do and the guys that try really hard but can't make the A main just get overly butt hurt about it and complain about getting out motored or out lipo'd....whatever the excuse. More skilled drivers are always going to be faster.

too much motor is way worse than too little. I am always faster and more consistent with a 17.5/13.5 in 2wd. Some layouts I could less or more motor, but overall, I just do better with slower motors. I run a 17.5/13.5 in mod buggy and a 10.5 in mod 4wd. Thinking you need a 7.5 in mod is silly.

I agree the 7.5 came with car unfortunately track is popular with 1/8 so large straights huge jump section but I will buy a smaller motor thanks for opinions

Hello guys.
I searched a complete night for a solution before asking here :-)

I am new to 2wd offroad , there is a problem with my servo arm.
I can do whatever i won't , it always touches my servo body.
I removed the shim , i used the servoarm spacer ...
Servo is a Futaba S9550.

grtz Kevin

What type of clearance do you have when the servo horn is oriented as it would sit in the car? In the B5 cars I don't think the horn will rotate that far 'down' as you have it in the picture. The ballstud will actually be above the long side of the servo in normal operation.
