Just recently upgraded from a b4(+8mm) to a B5m Factory Light. After I broke my steering rack twice on the B4 and bought my tracks last one I thought it was time to upgrade to a B5m. You will feel like you are cheating when driving the B5m. Handles awesome out of the box! Having said that the 22 3.0...

My first race with the B5m on a new layout was great. I didn't win, but I had a good time and that is all that really matters. b5mfinished.png It took a while to get used to the different handling characteristics compared to the B4, but once i did I almost felt like I was cheating :shock: . The car ...

Almost done

The MIP Puck system and cut gears cuts down on the weight in the transmission. The MIP puck system also comes with lighter axles. Another upgrade I bought is a slipper eliminator to save even more weight. My B4 has all the same upgrades and it works great for 17.5. I bought the Kashima coated shock ...

My new battery just came in the mail.

Protek 100C 2800m

Should cut down on the weight even more

Your going to love this car. IMHO, I would have went with the Reedy Sonic M3 https://www.teamassociated.com/parts/details/254/ Had good luck with Novak so far, and the bundle was not to expensive. Used the setup from Ryan C as I was building it. https://www.teamassociated.com/pdf/cars_and_trucks/RC...

Decided to buy a B5M last week. http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r16/soniccj7/b5m_zpsrf6kcrmx.jpg Waiting for the upgrade parts to arrive in the mail.

Oh, are they layed down like that? I'm not too familiar with the GT's? Yup. Check the truck forums. There's a couple of GT electric conversions with good pics. When looking at what parts shapeways had to offer I came across a LCG transmission for the B5M. http://www.shapeways.com/product/Z6LNYQLWM/...

My local R/C shop was robbed. https://www.facebook.com/rcexcitement/ Please keep an eye out for any of the stolen merchandise. From their facebook post. Below is my wish list for this Christmas, and it's not what I'd like, it's what I'd like back. Four individuals decided to start their shopping ear...

Threw on my old SC10 tires and gave it a rip :shock:. It feels like the fastest R/C I own.. I remember my first GT. couldn't believe how fast it was. But I also went through so many engines before I learned lean and fast isn't always the best choice. Thank you for the warning. My plan is to tear do...

I've always enjoyed the sound and smells of a nitro buggy, but have never owned one myself until last week :D rc10gt.png Lost a number of auctions but I was persistent and knew I would win one eventually. Threw on my old SC10 tires and gave it a rip :shock:. It feels like the fastest R/C I own.. Alr...

Got into RC when I was 9 and have been with it on an off for over 30 years. There are times I slow down working on them and racing, but I could never stop completely. I would recommend packing all the cars in boxes and clearing off your bench. This would make it more difficult to pull a car off the ...

Welcome to the board!

There is a great track in Fitchburg(RCE) if you did not already know that .

I like both of them, but the worlds Detonator is my favorite of the two.


My RC-10 Classic that I raced at the most recent JConcepts indoor nationals in Fitchburg, MA.

I would say the coolest opportunity was spending time with my Dad building our cars and racing them on Sunday.


We both got the chance to drive our Blackfoots on the floor of the Worcester Centrum back in the 80's when the monster trucks were in town.
Good times
