I'm sure this has been talked about before but I'm unable to locate it. Has or does anyone use the MIP 3gear aluminum trans? I run stock and wondering if it's worth it. I can get one for about $30 new so I think it's a pretty good deal. I just don't want to have any adverse effects on my car.

B5m or B5m lite for mod motors?
Currently running a Centro c4.2 and getting back to the track (indoor clay) - looking at a new ride. b5m or b5m lite for running mod motors? main question relates to the 3 gear trans, no so much weight. Does the 3 gear trans still work well in the air?...brake to fly wing high. As I understand, with 3 gear, less force is put on the front of the car during braking, more on acceleration - I could have this backwards.
thanks.
thanks.

speed passion revention pro. or check used / classifieds here for something. the Viper stuff is very good and very little soldering needed (motor only) - easy to program with the card and smooth.

Hey guys I just ordered a b5m to race on carpet at my lhs, I currently race sct there with my son. We run the castle sct combo 1410 motor 3800 kv and have had great luck with them, I was wondering if anybody here has run this combo in this buggy. I am leaning towards this because of our experience we have had and I already have the programmer to tune it as well. Being somewhat new to the hobby I wanted to get some input to see if this would be too much for the lighter chassis of the buggy and cause difficulty driving due to excessive power. I would really like to spend $120 max for a motor esc combo if anyone has any other suggestions. My lhs is the only place we race and I only do this for fun on Friday nights so I am not looking for a high end pro setup, just something that's reliable like we already have in our sc trucks. Thank you for any input.

I run FE Boats and run the Turnigy ESCs the T180 and they are pretty much the standard we use at the boat pond - very solid, reliable with good performance, simple program card.

Our local dealer just got the B5M FL in stock for his christmas sale: 300$ (it's 275€ here in germany). Just thinking of, if the car is worth it (it is 
) But due to I got my B5 it dont think I "need" a Mid Motor buggy

b5m lite or champions kit - for mod motors?
Getting back to the track, running a Centro c4.2 and looking at going b5m.
Lite or CE kit? I run either a 8.5 or 9.5 motor with saddle packs... indoor medium traction clay, socal track/sdrc.
thanks.
