Took the B5M out for its first race meeting at Mendip RC club on Sunday and after installing the FT bits, it has made a huge difference to the car. The extra weight in the front has meant that I can have the slipper a bit tighter, without it literally jumping off of the rear wheels from a standing start. The extra weight in the back has really planted the rear end over the bumps and coupled with the black rear spring it is solid on the track. I'm not really too sure what all the other shiny bits have done to improve it (apart from looking shiny ) but, I have gone from an average of 11 laps in my old Losi 22, to 14 laps and on the verge of getting 15...I was just over 2 seconds off getting the 15th lap in.
The only thing that I would say, is that the initial turn into a corner is a bit soft and unless I keep the power off, it will under steer at first. I have put the yellow spring on the front, in place of the standard white one, so may well change it back to try and get the cornering smoothed out a bit.
The blue steering set has really made the car feel alive and I think it's made a big difference to how it reacts when it comes to a technical section.
