No worries, I didn't give a lot of detail when I asked. I guess I'll go back to a fresh exacto blade when I have to remove any screws.

With regards to the MIP tranny-
Are there any modern ESC's that can't reverse the rotation of the motor? That's the only reason I can think of to not put the motor plate on the left side of the car.
Either way I really like the look of it, I definitely plan on getting one to test MM3 on my B5.

yeah, some esc's can motor reverse, but it gets all goofy with the timing on sensored motors.

Why would you want to reverse the motor rotation?

Default Stock Racing Hops Up Recommendation

I'm not going through 500 pages trying find similar to this but I still go few pages.

I plan to have two B5Ms (stock and mod). I intended to have full hop ups on my mod B5M in few months later.

However, I'd like to race the stock B5M for club races, perhaps winter series. It'd be nice to know what's recommend hops up from Factory Team I need to add on stock one. I know it's unnecessary to make a full hop up on stock but couples.

IE: x-fiction rings? mounts? turnbuckles? caster? bearings set? screw set? like that.

Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I'll mainly race in medium indoor clay tracks. I use gold compound Barcodes, Pressure Points, and Dirt Webs.

no reason to go through all 500 pages when you can use "Search this thread". For stock all you really need is aluminum topshaft, titanium turnbuckles and schelle nova slipper.

The reason why a MM car has 4 gears is to keep the motor in standard rotation. If you take a gear away when you give it throttle it will spin the wheels as if in reverse. That why switching the motor rotation is important.

Just to keep the motor plate on the same side as the stock MM configuration, which means the stock body doesn't have to get cut up. There's really no other reason If the stock body works with MIP's gearbox then there's no need.

Most companies are doing it create more rear traction under power to makeup for the lack of weight toward the rear of the car. Team Durango has a great article on the effects of all the different motor configurations here.

I have two stubborn ball cups that are still extremely tight. I've tried polishing the balls, I've tried squeezing the ball cups with a pliers (per Associated), and still nothing.

What size reamer should I buy to take a little material out of the cups?

Thank you.
