Just 3D printed a carpet saver shock tower mount for the B5M but they will work on any off road as long as the front shocks are mounted behind the shock tower....it works on my B44.
I can definitely print a tons of them for other to try because I think it should fit any buggy but there might be some exception...and I would like to know so I can adjust the design for other specific model.

Good times yesterday thanks to all the staff for getting this up and running again!!!

Sorry to see the carpet getting some tears already a mandatory vehicle inspection might be needed for tower guards to protect that investment.

One piece of feedback I have and heard others as well, the third turn before the smaller table top was completely blind from the racer stand. Might need to reconsider the table there.

The racing was fun and the track was big enough where the bashers and buggies had plenty of room IMO.

Great work!!!

Vehicle inspection as well as some guidelines for people new to running on a track. Far too many people just walk onto the track without looking to see if a car is coming. With the speed of cars now, this could easily lead to someone getting injured. I also see a lot of leaning way over the driver's stand, as well as flipping cars back over and leaving them right in the middle of a lane as they walk back to the stand. I just want to see everyone have a good time and not have any injuries or unnecessary damage to vehicles.

So much fun yesterday...the new place is great...love how clean the place is and the fact the pits are so open.

Euro truck is a blast...definitely a different driving style than I am used to.

I had issues with my car most of the day, but did find I was at the same gearing as the old track, but again I put my Fantom v3 motor in the car. Like Jason said start with the same gearing and work from there. I am sure as more traction comes in we will have to adjust.

CB did look good piloting Jason’s F1, hopefully he is hooked and will join us more often.
