If you're going to go so far as buy measuring tools, you may as well buy set up wheels too. Off road tires are far from true and gluing them up makes things worse. Spin them once and set Your toe, spin them again and everything looks out of whack. That goes for camber and toe.
I use the RPM toe-in gauge, with practice it's easy to use ...and cheap.

B5 to B5M conversion kit parts list
You never can upgrade a car it seems for a good value. Always best to sell it and upgrade the whole kit used or new.
Earlier this year I looked in a NIB RC8B I had to upgrade to RC8.2 and B44.2 to B44.3 and not worth it at all. Parts add up to usually about a new kit price.

Just finished my b5m, 6.5 turn goodness, don't mind my custom battery holder lol
I.D.?
Can anybody I.D. this spur\slipper? Came with a roller I bought. I'll need a smaller spur for 17.5 but I'd this format is going to be rare, I may swap to the stock pads.

Isn't that the stock V2 vented stuff? I swapped mine out for a schelle losi top shaft. It's lighter and has a smaller spring/nut. Also use a 72T losi spur and pads

I ran the AE VTS slipper briefly and then I picked up the RD VTS slipper. I looked at the Schelle and Avid but, it looked like you had to use their proprietary spur gears. I have the b5m, t5m and sc5m and already had a stock pile of AE spur gears in a variety of sized. So, I put the RD in my stock 17.5 b5m. I was pretty happy with it so, I picked up another one and about to put it in my sc5m mod sct. I run my 17.5 b5m with 69/33 and my stock t5m had 72/32. The t5m has the AE VTS slipper and seems to do just fine as well.

Question from a newbie. Picked up a B5M and need wheels and tires. Gonna ask at the local track to find out where to start on tire but whats up with the wheels? I see the tires only say 2.2 but I see wheels 2.2 and 2.4. Why 2 different sizes and what difference does it make?

Last night I replaced all the bearings, arms, rebuilt shocks with the x ring kit, rebuilt my diff and slipper, and threw a few new bling parts on as well as sprayed a new body (poorly) and cleaned up my wiring and added a fresh v10 10.5 motor. She's still got one more season in her before I replace her.

I have a B5M FL that I was going to run mod with. A friend of mine is going to run on a smallish/medium carpet track that runs only 17.5 class and I'm now going to do that with him instead. Getting either a Schuurspeed or Fantom motor. Anyone kind enough to suggest a ballpark pinion/spur to start with? Greatly appreciate any suggestions.
