Serious? Just get an aluminum 0.5mm shim lol.

Edit: Found these ZC-S50 which are "fibre" shims, must have been these.

Hello all, I am runnging BD-M but looking to forward to switch to a new car, the latest BD5-WX would be amazing to own. Anybody having a great tip where to buy it currently for best price? Shipping should be to Europe. PM welcome.

Btw: Is the high traction chassis BD-002H used on carpet as well?

Thx

Default Setup Questions

Two questions regarding some of the Petit Rc setups. First, I've noticed that some sheets have the blue/pink springs reversed so that the blue is in front. So that would mean the softer spring is in front with the stiffer spring in the rear. Is that correct? Or is that a mistake? Springs front and rear are usually even or with a stiffer spring up front. Seems unusual. Second, I see that Masami and some other EU drivers are running slightly thicker oil in the rear shocks then the front. What is the effect of this?

All that would give more steering. About the springs, might be a typo. But if you ran a harder rear spring, that would give more steering as well.

actually i asked umino once about this at an ETS race. i think what he was saying was, that the blue spring feels softer at first, but in the range it really works its actually harder than the pink one. so on some occasion they run it with blue in front and pink in rear. this was on carpet though. maybe on tarmac it is different.

Default Whit Belt?

I see BD-5 has the white belts and it is a lot more expensive. What is the different and is it worth?
