I just ordered one of the pre assembled roller. Anyone else get one?

Oh and running a B5/B5M is boring. EVERYONE runs one.

I'm currently racing a B4.2 and make the A-main every week. It's a great car. My replacement car will be a YZ-2. Yes, it was deigned for high bite tracks, but there are people already successfully running them on medium bike tracks. I don't see why there is any reason that it couldn't be setup for a...

Looks great Joey. I'm getting ready to build another RC10 racer myself. It never ends....

Do you need lay down or stand up brushes? Do you need springs that mirror each other or 2 that are exactly the same?

Installed the new Lunsford tie-rods with RPM ball cups today. Damn those things are tight! I'm not actually sure the RPM ball cups are going to work. I also re-did the diff with new rings and a set of 12 ceramic diff balls. After breaking in the diff, it feels really smooth. Now I just need to get t...

I race weekly, so I do understand how to jump. Even if I try to level it out it still lands nose first. I put a shorty in and all the way to the back and that helped a little. I have a blue front spring on now but even that didn't have the desired effect. I might try a softer rear spring and see if ...

Took the car for a drive outside and noticed that it is nose diving off of jumps. I've had this problem when my short arm car for some time but thought after rebuilding everything that I would have solved it. Even with the front spring fully compressed it would still nose dive. Do I need a heavier s...

Joey, I'm using the 2.2 conversion that AE offers. The front axles are blue. I'm also using the single hole, re-re front shock tower.

Got it all put together. I ordered a set of Lunsford turnbuckles and a new set of diff balls and rings. The car is setup with 35 wt, #1 pistons and silver springs in the front and 32.5 wt, #1 pistons and green springs in the rear. In the front, I unscrewed the lower shock eye two turns to get a litt...

The problem with the 6 gear is that you have to crank the diff nut down pretty tight so that it won't slip. I can't imagine the diff living long with a 8.5T. If I remember right, the mod motors of the day were 18-20 turn brushed.

I am not running a cover on my son's truck. Mostly out of laziness.

What castor blocks should I be running? Currently I have the stock ones on it. I'm pretty sure I have 30º.

I ordered the AE 2.2 conversion kit, so I'll have the same setup as you.
