Just bought a B5m. Putting an Orion 10.2 pro and a 7.5 turn vst2 Orion brushless in her. Anyone else ran this combo? What did you think? Any suggestions on different combos? Also using a 5000 mah with a 110c lipo
If you haven't driven it yet, the B5M is a very easy car to drive. Huge departure from the B4 series. I doubt the B6 can be nearly as much of a change as the B5M was.
I was blown away when I first drove my friends B5M, and knew I had to upgrade from my B4.2 to the B5M. I ended up with the light-weight version, and have been very happy with it. Pro-Tip, do not use the hard carbon arms, keep the regular plastic ones. The carbon ones snap on a regular basis.
Kinda sucked because I had a LOT of upgraded parts on that B4. I sold it to a friend, so it's still kinda in-the-family, so to speak.
i usually go with blue or silver or black or hot pink....pink for reasons of cancer research support. how i came to these colors on this b5m body i guess is chance. let me know what you think.

i definitly hit the easy button on this paint job. the lines of the body flow so nicely that it made sense to exploit them by laying down the stripes with the body lines. im looking at all the body manufactures for their offerings so i can plan my...
Sooo, they're still selling B4.2 RTR kits, and now selling the B6 series. Makes me wonder how rare the B5M will be in the future. Or have they sold an utter crap-ton of them? I know the B5 will be a rarity, that's obvious. Be curious to know the...

Crap ton is the Safe for work version of shit ton. I was all set to buy a CE version and couldn't find one. There are a few of them for sale now but most are already built.
Bought a B5M C edition. Wondering what the benefit of having a three and four gear tranny is? Which one is the best to use? Put an Orion 10.1 pro speed control and a vst2 7.5 Orion motor
Looking at options for upgrading the shocks on one of my rc10's. There are some really nice shocks out there for the b5m but I'm having a hard time finding the eye-to-eye length info. Has anyone used more modern buggy shocks on the original rc10's?...

Great information on the shocks. I did some Google searching for the piggy back option and they do look cool. Looking forward to your BOTM entry!
I have an odd request. Does anyone have any exploded diagrams of the B5 & B5M? I got 2 boxes of parts in a trade, and I was told it's B3/T3, B5 & B5M stuff. I feel I have all the B/T3 stuff removed. I'm trying to sort the B5M/B5 stuff. I'd really...
Out door off road is coming to an end in Calgary. One of the local on road tracks is running some off road buggies a few times over the winter on their TC Ozite carpet track. So I need some help with setup for the RC10B5M.
I also...

Fun little simple race!
I thought it was Karz, was not sure. I need to get out there at some point.
