one thing idk if anyone has concidered, but i thought of this when you were talking about the 3 gear vs 4 gears transmisson. Another factor i havent heard anyone talk about is the fact with a 3 gear, the motor is trying to climb up the spur. the resistance from the tires on the ground makes the motor want to climb up the spur. And with a 4 gear, the motor climbs down. I think this is more of a factor than the gyro effect the direction the motor spins has.

Long story made short. I was a full on Losi fan boy 22 year's ago, then Horizon Hobbies bought the name. Here a month ago I bought a 22SCT 2.0 & a 22T 2.0. I still like Losi for their dedication to the racing scene! I have been driving the SCT with a Velineon 4 pole on 3S, and it's an animal !!! I'm not to fond of the low frequency springs though. And I haven't driven the 22T, I have raced one with my basher Slash 2wd, and it's a great running Stadium Truck. I'm selling it today and going to try my hand with the Associated rigs, we'll see how it turns out. . .

I was wondering if you have any suggestions for my B5m factory lite. I run on a clay track which is often dusty but I have to slow down all the way to below walking speed to take a corner sharply, even then the car still goes wide sometimes. this is also the case if the track isn't dusty. I'm running proline scrubs on the front and holeshots on the back. I have the battery as far forward as it goes but still doesnt turn well. it's a dedicated stock buggy too.

@B58FTW

Archtechnician The front and rear B5R arms are track specific. The flat arms in the front make the car less twitchy from steering input and seems to rotate flatter (less body roll) through turns. The rear motor rear arms on a MM car move the rear axle closer to the center of the car, shortening the wheelbase. This brings a bit more traction and the car also rotates quicker. In short; if you want your steering to be less aggressive entry and mid corner, try the flat front arms, if you're looking for a bit more traction--along with a car that rotates quicker, try the rear arms. I would say the rear arms are not mandatory, but the flat fronts make the car a lot easier to drive.

main difference is the gear configuration. B6.1 you have the letdown gearbox which lowers center of gravity. With the b5m (which i currently have), you have a standup transmission. B6.1 will most likely be the better option. I want to get a laydown into my b5m, but it requires modification to the chassis. It's so much better with a laydown though. You can carry so much speed into the corners. i know im a little late but there you go man.

Hi There +75dt21 - That review will go up but I can assure you that car is not the best bang for the buck. the stock chassis is almost not worth using.....too flexible and fragile...which means the car needs and upgrade to the aluminum chassis from the very beginning. I actually like the 3Racing Cactus....and it drove well....as you'll see in the video....but 1. In my opinion it isn't the best bang for the buck. 2. It definitely cannot be considered a top competitor here in the U.S. and I was comparing the B5M Lite against other top brands of cars that are common here in the U.S. :)

ShortCourseWorld You should review all makes, why not review Schumacher, Durango or Yokomo. I can buy the Cactus for $199 aussie $, & parts are cheap as Sh.t. The performance of the car is right up there with the major kits for a fraction of the cost, no you are not going to win a world championship with it but the brand will not prosper or grow without people like yourself making unbiased reviews. & exposing the product to thousands that may not have heard of it. Did you not receive this kit months ago to review from the manufacturer directly for free, were you ever going to do a review without me constantly bugging you? Don't get me wrong I really appreciate your videos, they are very good & professionally done I just wish it was more open as you have contact with all the top drivers & have influence in the industry to get free products as well as those you buy & personally to use.

Good shocks, ball diff, mid or rear motor, CVD's, lets see your review, I hope you compare lap times to your regular rides at the same track for a real comparison in stock form. Of course if you add upgrades it quickly erodes what is a great basic kit, be real

ShortCourseWorld Hi Jason, yes the stock chassis is a weak point in mid motor only, rear wheel it is fine & the rigidity is much better. I believe & hope that if they release version two of the car the optional aluminum chassis will come standard. The point I was trying to make before is you could probably receive kits for free from all makes for review purposes other than TLR or Associated or Kyosho etc, if you added more variety of manufacturers you will not only increase your subscribers & amount of views, but probably make a good second income from KZitem.
